"I had the pleasure of training with Simon Peake and the further pleasure of becoming close colleagues. Simon is an excellent endoscopist and treats patients with respect and empathy. I trust his opinion and continue to work very closely with him, particularly with cohorts of patients that I look after that need ongoing care, and I consistently receive positive feedback on the care he provides.
