As soon as I was diagnosed with an infected gallbladder, I began a search online for a Gallbladder surgeon, I read many testimonials, but felt drawn to Mr Kirkby-Bott after reading comments such as ‘Calm and concise manner’, ‘the level of care and professionalism was exceptional’ and ‘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’. All of the above are true of Mr Kirkby-Bott. From my first consultation to my last follow up appointment, I’ve felt a genuine on Erin for my health and wellbeing. At the first consultation, he cleared up the misinformation I’d been given about gallbladder surgery and pre op and post op eating. If you follow the instructions on his website regarding the Gallbladder pre op and post op, you’ll enjoy the excellent experience that I did. Originally, I was sick and weak from the gallbladder infections, but just 2 days after my surgery I felt the best I had been in just over 2 years. After surgery I had no pain, just a little discomfort and now 2 months later, I have 4 thin scratch lines on my torso as reminders. In time, I can see, they will heal to be virtually invisible. I’m most grateful for his skill as a surgeon, his professionalism as a consultant and his compassion as a human.His kindness, sincere caring and concern made everything better and we’re all a great encouragement in my recovery. Thanks must also go to his support team of colleagues who contributed to what could have been a fearful experience, but was made into a very enjoyable one. I can’t thank you enough for giving me back my health, as that is priceless. Every day of my life will be better because of you. Norma Stephenson - May 2022

Response from Mr James Kirkby-Bott

Thank you for your review and feedback. I am really glad that surgery worked well for you. It is really interesting hearing your experience. You seemed to be suffering a lot from your gallbladder when we met and surgery worked so quickly for you. I feel very privileged to have been able to help you get your life back. I hope you enjoy it.

After having a child I started to experience crippling stomach pain which had me in A&E 3 times. I was diagnosed as having gallstones by the NHS and after experiencing the disabling pain, I decided to seek private help. Within 1 week of contacting Mr Kirkby-Botts team, I was booked in for my first consultation and potential surgery date. At my consultation everything was described with precision which really put my mind at ease prior to the surgery, all eventualities were ticked off and I was sent for an MRI to ensure I was diagnosed correctly and the stones were confined to my gallbladder and not the bile ducts also. This again aided my confidence in the surgery success. Just 3 weeks after contracting Mr Kirkby-Bott, my gallbladder was out and I’m completely pain and complication free! My scars are minimal and my recovery was shorter than anticipated. Very happy with my results and can’t thank him and his team enough!

Symptoms of a hyperparathyroid can be numerous and often (as in my case) present at different times, frequently being thought to be something else and were, for perhaps more than 16 years or more, in my case. Finally my GP Surgery referred me to Southampton General and, after a number of tests, hyperparathyroidism was finally confirmed. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic a prospective operation on the HNS was delayed with no indication of when it might be possible so I took the private route which led to my introduction to Mr Kirkby-Bott. How I wish I had been referred to him years ago! Without delay my surgery was arranged and he has an excellent team supporting him. From my first consultancy with him through my operation and post op meeting I have had every confidence that I was in safe hands.
