Dr Uncles was very polite, courteous and reassuring. I explained to him that when I had my first operation I had felt quite sick and unwell after. For the following operations the medication had been changed and I had been fine. I had been treated by a different anaesthetist on these occasions. I was disappointed to wake up with a lot of pain and feeling very sick after this operation. The more pain relief I was given the sicker I felt and my eyes were rolling. I also had a very sore bottom lip and I was told they hadn't noticed my lip had been caught over the mouth piece during the operation and I had bitten it when I woke up. It is still numb in one area 2 weeks after the operation and I have had 2 mouth ulcers inside my lip. I can only assume that Dr Uncles hadn't followed the previous medication for anaesthesia care even though I had explained that it had worked well after my problems on the first occasion

David Uncles fully explained his role as my anaesthetist for the knee operation I was about to undergo by visiting me prior to the operation and listened attentively to my medical history. He explained in clear terms, the anaesthetic he would administer and its effects. He came across as a confident anaesthetist and this put me at my ease. Just before going into theatre, while injecting me with the medicine, he made me comfortable and explained what he was doing step by step. Following the operation, he visited me in my room and explained how the operation went ie it was a success and they were no complications. In short, David Uncles is a great doctor who knows what he is doing, instils confidence and has a reassuring and positive bedside manner.

I was unsure about having an epidural and Dr Uncles took time to explain the procedure in detail and put my mind at rest. In the end I had a general anaesthetic and the reason for change was also explained to me.

On the the occasions I met this consultant before and after surgery, I was impressed and felt confident, having discussed the options and procedure entailed. I would not hesitate in recommending his expertise and manner.

Profile

I am a specialist Anaesthetist with interests in Obstetric, Ambulatory and Inpatient anaesthesia. I employ a variety of anaesthetic techniques including general or regional anaesthesia, although I often use them in combination to optimise and enhance patients' peri and post-operative experience.
I am dedicated to putting the patient first through the provision of safe and reassuring care delivered in conjunction with my colleagues and associates.
I was present at the inauguration of the Helsinki Declaration in June 2010. This enshrines the values essential to the promotion of the highest professional and safety standards expected of anaesthetists. It is my hope to match or even exceed the expectations of patients who place their trust in me.
