Dr Daniel Sharpstone

I have had colitis on and off for 40 years I recently had a repeat flare up which started with more frequent bowel movements containing blood I contacted the help line run by The West Suffolk Hospital and was referred for a telephone consultation with Dr.Sharpstone even though my consultation was the first one of the session , Dr.Sharpstone , was half an hour late in calling me there was no apology for this instead he launched in a flippant conversation in which he did not listen to what I had to say I then received a letter a few days later written in the most patronizing language referring ' my tail end ' I bet his private patients do not get treated this way !

The most lovely,easy to talk to and brilliant consultant I have ever known, his care is amazing and I can honestly say that he saved my life in the past when I was seriously ill, I cannot speak highly enough of him.

I was very impressed by my visit to Dr. Sharpstone who was thoroughly professional and immediately understood my problem which he solved promptly. He showed an excellent consultant/patient manner and I had complete confidence in him.

I've had an issue with my bowels , he told me I have hemroids . I said I might well do but what I am on about is not connected to my actual anus . He still told me I had hemroids and booked me in for colonoscopy . Didn't find anything on the colonoscopy . One year after I was first referred to Dr sharpstone he finally plucked up the courage to look at the affected area which I had been telling him about for over a year at this point and he took one look at it and said yes we need to get you booked in for an MRI scan . After having my MRI scan I was then about to leave when they called me back In saying that I needed to have more as they have found something and it needs to be highlighted with a drug . So I went and had another MRI scan. The ladies in the MRI clinic where amazing and made me feel as ease . I then get a letter from Dr sharpstone saying my MRI scan was clear and to put a plaster on the affected area and I have been discharged. I know full well it is not clear that is why I had to go back in for another MRI

Twice this doctor has not listened to me & told me to listen to him. I don't know if he is pyschic as he didn't let me tell him what was wrong!

Had stomach pains since was young he is the only doctor to listen to me Now diognosed with crohns and under treatment never met such a great guy

Doctor Sharpstone is a awesome person, he listens to you, DOES NOT talk down to you. He makes you feel at ease. He smiles and laughs. He really is a lovely person. I wish all Doctors were like him.

The only Dr to help with my stomach pains after 4 months. All tests were normal but pains persisted. He narrowed it down to a constant muscle spasm. He called it a trigger point. Injected local anesthetic into the muscle which cured the pain instantly. First class approach and diagnostic.
