Thought I would add a review. Having suffered bowel trouble privately, in desperation went to my Doctor in Oct 2019. Immediately referred to Mr Farquharson. Having had scans etc. Met with him again. I was completely at the end of my tether with the constant pain and bowel urgency. He advised me about all the risks, which were real and really risky. I was prepared to do anything. Had my Surgery on Feb 14th 2020. Just before the Covid 19 Pandemic. My life has been transformed, He himself was amazing. His team were amazing. His predications on recovery...spot on. This procedure is not something to be taken lightly. And for the first 5 weeks I kept asking myself, why have you opted to do this? As Mr Farquharson has said the surgery may not help...I fact could even worsen my problems. I was desperate! so took the risk of what may happen to me. I can not explain the difference it has made to everyday living and being able to function normally. Instead of living life in fear and being almost housebound, I can function normally. Mentally I am still fearful. But that will lesson. It could also have gone another way and I am forever grateful it has not. Mr Farquharson has been wonderful. His team have been amazing . There are no guarantee's in this procedure I understood that. I was given all the possible outcomes but was past caring. This is a brilliant Doctor who has a brilliant team. The best Valentine's day gift I have ever had. Thank you always. Please, Please Stay Safe all of you. Patients like myself really, really need you.!!
