Martin Kurzer

Written by a private patient at St John & St Elizabeth Hospital

As a retired orthopaedic surgeon who has worked in central london teaching hospitals for the past thirty years I make a point of knowing who is the best person to see for a particular problem. There is no doubt in my mind that Martin Kurzer fulfils that position for those with an inguinal or other type of hernia. He has successfully repaired three hernias for me personally (I hope that’s above average!) and one unusual (femoral) hernia for my daughter. His care and expertise has been exemplary on each occasion and I would have no hesitation at all in recommending Martin Kurzer to family friends and colleagues.

Mr.Kurzer was recommended by a friend who had experienced traumatic agony during/after his first hernia surgery at his local hospital. He thus explored and opted for a different surgeon/hospital for his second hernia. So, hence my consultation/surgery with "The Mesh Maestro". What an absolutely brilliant team he has organised at The St.John And St. Elizabeth Hospital. I could not be happier : with the day of the surgery and the after care/advice from Mr.Kurzer. He should be knighted for his hernia curing/surgical expertise.

I had a hernia and Martin was highly recommended. This is what Martin does and he is a master of his profession. Always answered my email quickly and put my mind at ease as I had lots of concerns. Decided I wanted to be in recovery mode rather than waiting for the operation and he saw me quickly.

Mr Kurzer is, without doubt, a hugely experienced and knowledgeable expert in the treatment of hernias. That he conveys that expertise in a clear, unambiguous, and reassuring manner meant that from his initial diagnosis through to his surgery to repair my hernia, I was completely at ease and had full confidence in his advice and work. I cannot speak too highly of the treatment he provided or of the contribution of his support team. As someone who is, at best, apprehensive about any type of surgery, I consider myself very fortunate to have found such a caring and able consultant. So pleased with the results.

From 'flash to bang' diagnosis to procedure it took about 4 weeks to deal with my inguinal hernia. (open under local anaesthesia). Martin was open, empathetic and communicative. He had a great rapport with his team and the whole procedure was conducted efficiently and with clear expertise. I had no qualms during the procedure and he explained everything as he went along. He clearly prefers the open techniques and having now had the procedure I would struggle to see how a laparoscopic approach could be as effective. I haven't got back on my road cycle yet but that is down to the awful weather and roads. He is a 'top man'. I am really pleased that I found him and you van be sure that you are in safe hands.
