I am extremely grateful to Mr Kirkby-Bott and his team for managing to arrange an urgent operation for my hernia. It had become very painful and was preventing my ability to work, so it was with a great sense of relief when I received news of a date for my operation. From my initial consultation through to discharge from the Spire Hospital in Southampton, the level of care and professionalism was exceptional. I felt reassured at every point and followed the thorough preparations laid out before my admission. I was able to be discharged shortly after my operation after a further consultation with Mr Kirky-Bott and I found this to be of great benefit. I really can't thank or praise the whole team enough. It has had a life-changing positive effect for me and enabled me to continue helping others through my volunteering efforts during the COVID pandemic. I am eternally grateful. Thank you so much James Brooke

What a nice person. He listened attentively, explained what & how he intended to proceed. Explained in sufficient detail without over complicating. I found him easy to understand and yet imparted an enormous amount of information without overwhelming me, not sure how he achieved it but all the information he gave was very useful especially during the recovery period when a number of his comments came back to mind thereby allaying any fears as to how the recovery process working. 6 weeks on from the procedure on my inguinal hernia and I feel fully capable to carry on as before it occurred with no detrimental after effects. I am most grateful Thank You

The inguinal hernia operation performed under local anaesthetic with minimal disruption to a frail 82 year old man with a leaky heart valve was a great success. If only everyone who needed this operation could be treated this way. Mr Kirkby-Bott was very understanding of the situation and his patience in explaining details much appreciated. His aftercare advice was clear and very effective. Having previously been advised by other surgeons that no hernia operation could be carried out until heart surgery had taken place, which did not because of COVID-19, to now be pain free is fantastic.

I have recently had a left lobectomy of my thyroid gland under the care of Mr Kirkby-Bott and can fully recommend his care and team at University Hospital Southampton. It's not the most comfortable of operations post operatively, but from awaking in recovery and seeing Mr Kirky-Bott ensuring my voice was okay straightaway, to the care in recovery to the overnight care on the ward. All went well and any concerns dealt with, including prompt post-operative communication on medication and wound care. I am grateful this op has been done at the earliest convenience during Lockdown, in a hospital that was obviously on Covid19 alert for infection control and safety of patients. He came across very confident and precise in his work. I can now sleep better , swallow and breathe better. Thank you.

Am so grateful that Mr K-B carried out my parathyroid surgery. He is an extremely professional but obviously caring man with a genuine interest in getting me better! I felt totally safe in his hands and he was very supportive throughout my journey. Many thanks.
