In March 2019 I accompanied my mother to St Thomas'Hospital London for her scheduled stomach operation.This was my first visit to the Hospital.I have heard lots of good things about the hospital,and my mother used to praise the excellence of care she had received from her Specialist Surgeon called Miss Cara Baker. On our arrival we were met by a friendly and pleasant nurse who took my mother into a private room to prepare for theatre.she carried out some investigations such as taking my blood pressure and temperature. My mother asked the nurse about who the Surgeon was.The nurse said it was going to be Miss Cara Baker ,one of the Specialist Surgeons who is also a Consultant Oesophago ;Gastric ,general Surgeon,who also specialises in management of patients with Oesophageal and Gastric cancer,and GIsurgery including hiatal hernias and gall bladders. An hour later a pleasant and calm lady came into the waiting room where she introduced herself as the Surgeon Miss Baker.She was friendly and pleasant. She explained the type of surgery and the procedure to undergo to us.She was thorough and very knowledgeable. she reassured us and gave us confidence in her and the operation Miss Baker even offered to telephone me about the result after the operation was completed. At about 9pm Miss Baker telephoned me as arranged and told me that the operation was completed and that it was a struggle.She sounded polite,calmand reassuring She proved to be reliable and caring about the potential of the patient.She did what Surgeons dont do by phoning surgery results to relatives, usually relatives are expected to contact the Hospital theater and enquire about the operation outcome. Miss Baker proved to be very good ,reliable and a safe trustworthy surgeon. I will not hesitate to tell people about this Surgeon when they need surgery.
