Never provided me with clinic letters after my consultation appointments, even after I chased him again and again for over a year. I had to even ask my insurance provider to get in touch to chase for me. But still no luck. It was completely unprofessional and irresponsible. Avoid this specialist!
4.25
A very competent man of his field, not over forthcoming with information and generally waits until asked. He did a first rate job though.
3.25
Friendly and approachable but very difficult to locate

Excellent in every way.

professor Pereira ensured that I understood my procedure and the results that followed. I had absolute confidence in him and his team.
5
He was very welcoming and courteous and explained in detail of what to expect from the procedure. I had 3 surgeries in space of 6 months and all went perfectly well and pain free.
5
Reassuring expert knowledge and a clear action plan

Professor explained what the procedure was about and how he was going to perform - and all was done and had a chat via phonecall as what to expect and do post surgery

I had my first consultation with Prof Pereira yesterday and I already know I made the right choice. Over the last several months I’ve seen a lot of different consultants who were quick to jump to the standard diagnosis of “anxiety and IBS”, without even listening to my symptoms, just because I’m a female in early 30s. Professor Pereira is different than any other doctor I’ve spoken to - he actually takes time to listen, understand my concerns and answer all questions in a professional but also very friendly manner. He took my symptoms seriously and will perform further diagnostic tests. I wish I found out about him a year ago when my pain started! I also would like to mention that Sue, his secretary, is very responsive, professional and sorts everything out at lightning speed :)

He explained very clearly of what ERCP procedure does and answered all my questions.
