"Fantastic care, great consultant"

About: Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust

I attended wigan infirmary on the 25th April for bowel surgery following an unexpected diagnosis earlier in the month. From the moment I met my surgeon I felt completely at ease and reassured that although my situation was serious, the operation I faced would be done promptly and hopefully deal with the issue positively. When I initially went to get my results I found the surgeon very sensitive, informative and receptive to my concerns and questions, all which were answered.

Upon going for surgery, I experienced some complications as the operation should havd taken five hours but

actually ended up taking almost twelve. When I woke in recovery the

surgeon actually came to see me in

person that evening despite having

been in surgery for such a long time which i thought was so considerate. He gave reassurances that things had gone

ok overall and during my stay in hospital for the following 10 days, Dr

came to see me on a couple of

occasions and kept me briefed

throughout. I recently returned for my

post operation results and again was

overwhelmed with the professional approach and warmth. He gave a detailed explanation of the situation to date and my follow up treatment plan

which has put me at so much ease. I feel he is fantastic surgeon with a real

human empathy which means a great deal when facing situations of this

nature. Glad to say my operation was successful and I will be eternally grateful to this surgeon.
