Mr Howard explained fully to me before my operation all the risks involved, which made me a little nervous. After listening to him for sometime my confidence grew and I agreed to go ahead with the operation.
Before my surgery he came to see me, he reassured me and hoped all would go well for me. This was nice.
My operation went very well and I was back to normal self within a week.
I would highly recommend Mr Howard to anyone, my thanks to him for a good job.

I am a 92 year old man and Mr Howard operated on my hernia in April '15 .
My experience of the whole team was one of consideration in communication and caring . I have fortunately not had a lot of experience with health care issues
but I cannot in any way fault the wonderful treatment I have received .
If it is of any constructive help ,the only issue I could have is that the numbers on the consulting rooms could be made larger for people with reduced eyesight .
