I had a lump for over a year before a fourth GP finally diagnosed a hernia. I was referred to a general surgeon who also happened to perform repairs upon hernias. After reading about Mr Kurzer I was impressed with the amount of information available and decided to consult him. I had carried out a lot of research about hernias and read about others' experiences on internet forums. Within seconds Mr Kurzer confirmed I had a hernia and told me it was an inguinal hernia whereas after a costly private ultrascan the week before, the consultant radiologist wrote to my GP incorrectly informing them that I had a femoral hernia. Not only was this incorrect, but it was most worrisome because they can be more 'dangerous' than inguinal hernias. His expertise was supreme. Mr Kurzer specialises in hernia repairs and what he does not know about hernias could probably be written upon the head of a pin. His calm voice was soothing. He answered all questions I had. He is a most approachable and friendly person. The choice of whether to wait for a general surgeon or pay for an expert and experienced surgeon was a simple one (even though my salary is extremely basic) Within a week my hernia was repaired. I have experienced private hospitals and consultants before. I live in East Anglia in the UK. The trip to London was easy. Nothing comes close to matching the experience I had with Mr Kurzer. The big name private hospitals all over the UK cannot hold a candle to the treatment I received from Mr Kurzer and his staff. Upon chatting with the staff, even they stated how great Mr Kurzer was; always friendly and polite and having time to chat with them. I am most grateful to Mr Kurzer and I am so relieved that such an expert exists. I absolutely recommend him. It is only because of the exemplary treatment that I write such a review.
