Mr Dafydd Wilson-Evans

Written by a patient at Spire Bristol Hospital

The service provided by Dafydd and James was simply outstanding. A thorough explanation or risks and benefits prior to surgery, and the after care has been simple superb. Dafydd in particular has very much supported me through my after care journey, and been on the end of the phone or email whenever needed to answer my questions and concerns. I would have no hesitation whatsoever recommending these two healthcare professionals. They’re genuinely second to none.

My service was very personalised and changed as my needs and goals changed. There was never a ridged plan, so it was flexible and easy to follow. The support I received was very accessible from 1-1 face to face support to email contacts when required. Whenever I sent an email, I would always get one back within 48 hours or a phone call so we could discuss the issue in more depth. I was given information in a number of different formats so I could refer back to this when need. I had a very friendly and professional service and felt very supported throughout my journey and always made me feel they had time for me,, never rushed.. He always listened to me and challenged me to reflect on things I was concerned about, to work out solutions for my self. I will be keeping in touch as I achieve more and more. All appointments were booked around my job, only issue was the parking at the hospital was difficult at times, but this is being addressed.

I first met Dafydd early in 2012 when I was an emotional and sad individual weighing almost 30stone. Very quickly, Dafydd gain my trust and I was able to be myself and share my feelings and concerns with him. Dafydd has been instrumental in my journey to a healthier lifestyle and with his care and genuine interest in my well being, helped prepare me to be completely ready to undergo life changing bariatric surgery. When I got impatient, it was Dafydd who reminded me to stay on track and not give up. I now understand that it was only to my own benefit and I wish I could share this with every other patient too. Dafydd taught me that my biggest battles was between my ears. His care was always with my best interest at heart. I am forever grateful to Dafydd, Mr Osborne and the entire Bariatric team. Weight loss surgery isn't a quick fix. It is not an easy journey and without the help and support from Dafydd in particular, I wouldn't be able to tell you that I am now just under 17stone in weight and a much happier, healthier and much more active individual. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Franci Tuck

I started my Journey in the summer of 2016 when I was 24 years old, having never really ventured into a hospital before I was immediately put at ease after meeting with Dafydd. He was totally invested in myself and what I had to say. He took down everything I had to say, my concerns, my aspirations. These would later be discussed at each appointment and how I could improve myself and my care. I always felt I could message Dafydd whenever I needed, when I feel into some slight medical problems he was the first to really understand and seem concerned about what was happening, he helped to make my own doctor listen and if it wasn't for him I would have not been treated as quickly as I was. He has been a life saver through my entire journey, literally! He went above and beyond and took a real interest in not just my medical life but at how my life is going as a whole as he fully understood how my journey was more than just my eating but the factors of my life that influenced my weight. Having appointments with Dafydd every few months was like therapy for me. I feel if he keeps doing what he does then he will keep changing lives. Nearly 2 years down the line and with all the information that he has given me I am at the best place I have ever been in my life and I have succeeded in ways I didn't know I could have. I would say anyone who gets to be treated by Dafydd are sure to succeed and have a whole new beginning and I wish them all the luck and I would say I am slightly jealous they get to work with him. I couldn't recommend him more, thank you so much again for my new life! Kindest Regards, Morgan x

From the first time I met Dafydd, he was really kind and approachable. He understood my needs, there was no judgement from him and he was so supportive. I met him nearly 2 years ago now, and every session we had (from pre-op assessment to 18 months post-op Bariatric surgery review) he has been so informative and amazing. He's always made time to answer any of my queries and always helped ease my concerns about any issues. Whether it was diet related or surgery related. He is very knowledgeable about every bariatric need (ranging from vitamins & nutrients needed for gym activity, to what I will need and when I will need extra care and nutrients when I want to start conceiving). I would recommend him to anyone. In fact, I have - and my friend who went through the same bariatric surgery as me a year later also speaks high praises about him. I'm almost sad that I won't be seeing him every 6 months now! His reviews were always so pleasant and I always came away from them feeling amazing.
