Martin Kurzer

Written by a patient at St John & St Elizabeth Hospital

I consulted Martin about a hernia and within a few days I had the repair done by him at St John and St Elizabeth Hospital at the end of July 2019. Whilst writing this review I am of course still recovery from the surgery but as each day passes the discomfort recedes. The whole process went smoothly and I always found that Martin had time to answer any questions that I had. Not only that Martin periodically checked on how I was recovering on his own volition - I have never experienced such aftercare from a surgeon after a procedure has been completed. Quite frankly the service that I received was exceptional and feel very fortunate to have been treated by Martin.

My inguinal hernia operation went as smoothly as silk. Martin Kurzer did a splendid job (as, I must add, did all the medical and other staff at the Hospital of St John & St Elizabeth). He asked careful questions beforehand, carried out the operation as well as I had hoped, and was notably generous with his time in subsequent days, keeping a close check on my recovery and providing reassurance about the various pains etc I could not have asked for a better experience.

I live overseas. I contacted Martin for a consultation and surgery after I had been advised locally that I had a inguinal hernia in the same location where I had previously had hernia surgery in 2011 (hence a recurrent hernia was suspected). Once I had contacted his office, he contacted me promptly. We exchanged many e-mails and I was obviously impressed when he also took the time to call me to discuss the situation. I flew in to the UK on a Tuesday morning, my consultation with Martin was that afternoon and the surgery had been arranged for the following day. Once he examined me, he realised things were not as they had appeared to my local Hernia doctor and also to the local ultrasound scan Technician - Within an hour he arranged another ultrasound scan and, after reviewing everything with that Technician, concluded that I did not have a hernia and that surgery was not necessary. I was obviously very pleased to receive a proper diagnosis for my problem, and also very relieved to hear that surgery was not necessary. I was able to fly home and resume my normal sporting activities. Martin was amazing – He is obviously very skilled and experienced, and also highly knowledgeable and passionate about his work, but he is also easy to talk to, very friendly, charismatic and caring. I feel very fortunate to have found him, and would highly recommend him to anyone with a hernia problem.

I saw Mr Kurzer for a second opinion, following 2 separate surgical interventions for an inguinal hernia and a recommendation that I should have further surgery after continuing pain. I wanted advice on whether this was a sensible course of action. He was extremely helpful, sympathetic and easy to talk to. He spent a considerable amount of time with me, hearing the full details of my case and asking questions. He then gave me excellent, clear advice that has avoided me having further surgery. My pain has been receding and I am incredibly grateful to him for the advice that he gave. I am aware that I can go back to him for further help should I need it and this is greatly reassuring. I would highly recommend him.

Found Mr Kurzer to be totally professional empathetic and a thoroughly fantastic person to deal with . From our first meeting had the utmost confidence in him and was totally satisfied with the surgery and the pre op and post op care at St John and St Elizabeth hospital. Felt confident in a safe pair of hands and was more than satisfied
