Explanation

I have an inpatient under the care of Mr McCain in both NHS and private sector. I had a severe Hiatus Hernia and was in the Ulster Hospital in September 2022. The treatment i received was exemplary with everything explained in detail in a way i could understand. I also had a left side Inguinal Hernia and had been on the NHS waiting list for over 5 years. This had become quite pronounced and painful so as a member of Benenden I contacted Mr McCain and had the procedure carried out at Kingsbridge private hospital. In both procedures I was treated kindly, everything explained in layman's terms and felt completely at ease. I can't speak highly enough of my experience with Mr McCain and how my quality of life has improved (i am almost 85!) If stars are required I give it 5.

Scott has been outstanding from my 1st appointment to all my post op appointments. His work has changed my life, after struggling with my weight, reflux and a herina for years. I have found him to be incredibly kind and personable and has a very holistic approach to my care. I could not have had a better Dr guiding me through this journey.

Excellent, exceptional and outstanding. The care I received from Mr McCain made me feel totally at ease with my pending procedure. The procedure itself was carried out successfully even though I knew I had a massive stone in my gallbladder. Thank you so much for everything from my initial consultation to the exceptional care I received both Pre and post op. I cannot recommend this specialist highly enough. Thanks again.
