Mr James Kirkby-Bott

Written by a private patient at Spire Southampton Hospital

For me, the rapidness of being able to get a consultation and following the pre op assessment the quick timetabling of the operation was important to me, as such this consultant was recommended. I did read his reviews and was reassured that I was in good hands. This played out on the day of my operation, and the speed of my recovery was amazing. I am thankful that I had the operation, that Mr Kirky-Bott was my surgeon, and had a good team. I wish that I had done it earlier.

I first met Mr. Kirkby-Bott after being referred by my GP. After an examination he explained the best way forward was surgery. I asked if it was possible to have the operation privately as the pain was interfering with daily life. He told me about his private clinic, Hampshire Hernia Clinic and how he operated using a local anaesthetic and sedation, avoiding a general anaesthetic. Although I was a little concerned he reassured me that I would be fine. I could more or less choose when to have the operation. Due to personal circumstances I decided to wait just three weeks. The whole procedure was painless, I left the hospital just over two hours after the surgery. I would highly recommend Mr. Kirkby-Bott, easy to talk too, very reassuring, and top rate surgeon using a very good private hospital.

Having open Hernia Surgery with local anaesthetic and sedation was not something I was looking forward too! I should not have worried and the whole experience was excellent and my recovery was absolutely fantastic. I had surgery at the Spire Hospital Southampton having had the initial consultation with Mr Kirkby-Bott at the Nuffield Chandlers Ford. On the day of surgery everything from admission to discharge only took 6 hours and I was home with very little discomfort. I was walking without pain on day two and around 5 miles on day 12. This type of pioneering surgery using Local anaesthetic really does make recovery faster. Also, the use of the hernia pants was in my opinion essential and I felt it really did help with my swift recovery. Thank you to Mr Kirkby-Bott and the whole team for their support and professionalism in my hernia repair and recovery.
