Mr James Rink

Written by a patient at Royal Shrewsbury Hospital

Right, where do I start with this great man (and his team)??? When I first met Mr Rink I had had a gastric sleeve approx 12-18mnths earlier but it wasn't working quite as well as we thought it would so he decided that it would be best to have the gastric bypass and to say he worked his magic is an understatement!!! I've gone from over 32st to 15st 2lbs. Earlier in the year before my bypass I had become ill with pancreatitis so having seen Mr Rink yet again he decided that when he was going to do my bypass he would also remove my gallbladder!!! Now although everything was going well I don't do things by halves. In the past year I've ended up with a pseudo cyst AND a hiatus hernia in the worst possible place just under my ribcage. After approx 30hrs in the operating theatre after all my operations under him I believe if it wasn't for him and his knowledge I don't think I'd be writing this, basically this man has saved my life. I really can not thank Mr Rink and his team enough.

I have nothing but GREAT THINGS to say about Mr Rink. The Doctor is 100% and more !! Mr Rink is a very understanding Doctor, as on earlier appointments I was very unsure about the operation I was advised to undergo by my own GP after being referred to Mr Rink. He soon put me at ease and explained everything, without putting me under pressure. I felt I could talk to Mr Rink openly and actually found I considered him a helping friend more than a patient sitting with his doctor. On numerous occasions when attending appointments, I was greeted in a friendly way and always asked by Mr Rink if he could call me by my first name before ALWAYS shaking my hand and him asking if I was well. Any matters Mr Rink had to discuss with me, he would always ask how I felt about what I had just been told. After surgery and revisiting Mr Rink on a check up appointment, he was happy with my progress and praised me a number of times, which personally made me feel AMAZING. As a patient who had been attending Mr Rink's clinic for over 2 years with undecided decisions, I can not Thank Mr Rink enough for being so patient with myself, believing in me and staying with me all the way through till the end. I now look forward to check up appointments when I get to see Mr Rink again, as its always good to catch up with him and his staff, who equally are a credit to him. My Family are truly grateful of everything Mr Rink has done for me and my health.. Thank You never seems enough

This lovely gentleman has saved my life. From my very first consultation with him, he listened totally to me and explained all my options thoroughly in order that i was able to make an informed choice about my care. I saw Mr Rink about bariatric surgery and went down the gastric bypass route and now almost 6 months out i am a new woman and thanks to this wonderful man i will get to see my grandchildren grow up, run around with them in the park and am learning to live again instead of merely existing in this world. For anyone thinking of seeing Mr Rink - do it, i am so glad i did and i will always be eternally grateful to him. Thank you Mr Rink
