Dr uncles helped me through a very tough time after the birth of my baby. I’d had a spinal leak and he repaired it with a blood patch.
He was very clear, professional and empathetic the whole time and I felt very safe in his hands. Couldn’t fault him at all and feel very very lucky to have had him there to help me through such a hard time.
Thank you. And a reminder that we would wish to follow you up until the healing process is complete.
I was very anxious about having an operation under general anaesthetic, the doctor put me at ease during a short talk prior to the operation and then when I was being prepared for the operation.
I am glad I was able to allay some of the anxiety surrounding what is inevitably a stessful time.
I was operated on 15 February for a revision of a previous hip replacement under Mr Shah and Dr Uncles as Anaesthetist. I had not met him before. I found he had a very pleasant manner, explaining what procedure he was going to adopt and why he felt that was the best for my recovery.
He went through the hospital notes in detail and asking about my medical history and did I have any particular concerns. I mentioned about a fairly large bridge which had detached on Xmas Eve and the temporary repair made. He put my mind at rest on a couple of points I had and I felt at ease during the whole process.
I think he would be an ideal Dr for young children undergoing surgery - his name helps! He has the right bedside manner for them and also for people in general.
I have no complaints about his work.

Thank you for your comprehensive summary
Explained what was going to happen and the end result was a pain free operation- wonderful!
Thank you. I'm glad you were pleased with your care.
It was a pleasure to have David as my Consultant Anaesthetist. He made me so relaxed and especially the reassurance he gave talking to you and telling you what he is doing before the operation.
Thank you

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.
