Mr Michael Pellen

Written by a NHS patient at Castle Hill Hospital

Mr Pellen is, without a doubt, the best doctor I have ever come into contact with in over 21 years experience as a patient with multiple health issues. He explained the problems with my gallbladder to me in a way that I could understand and answered the questions and concerns I had with a high level of knowledge. He also showed great patient understanding towards me in how different things can affect my condition and what medical advice can be hard to follow with the other health problems I have and also how this may impact me mentally. Mr Pellen demonstrated overall GI knowledge to an excellent standard when talking to him about my overall bowel health and surgery I have had. Ultimately, he took a huge weight off my shoulders, explaining pros and cons of my case and enabled me to feel empowered and in control of my care with his help going forward. I can't recommend him enough. Thank you!

I would fully recommend Mr Pellen if you would like hernia surgery. I had a completely wrong idea of surgery and was convinced that open surgery would give more room for the operation, I'm so glad that he explained to me that keyhole surgery was much preferable and that having room to work was not an issue. After the successful operation I had no pain and did not need any medication at all, surely that is the mark of a superb surgeon.

Complications with my Gallbladder operation and Mr. Pellen was sent for. During Keyhole surgery, he managed some very complicated work, which was such a success, that I feel better now than I have for the last 18 months.

I visited Mr Pellen at Spire hospital after suffering from an inguinal hernia, he recommended a laparoscopic repair, we then agreed a date which suited me for the procedure. On the day all went to plan the procedure took under one hour and I suffered no pain at all. I was very impressed with the time spent under Mr Pellens care and I 100% recommend Mr Pellen and his team. I

I was referred to Mr Michael Pellen recently as I had an inguinal hernia that required repair. From the first consultation, through the surgical procedure to the follow consultation last week I could not have been more pleased with the treatment I received under his care. Due to earlier abdominal surgery he explained at the outset that a laparoscopic procedure may be impossible and an open repair might be required. In the event by using alternative techniques he was able to perform the repair laparoscopically. My recovery was uneventful, I did not even need to take one painkiller (not even a paracetamol) there was virtually no bruising and only some very manageable discomfort. I would highly recommend Mr Pellen to anyone requiring hernia surgery.
