Mr Alexander Hotouras

Written by a NHS patient at Whipps Cross University Hospital

Mr Hotouras took over the care of my father during a recent acute surgical admission, and has looked after him ever since. Throughout, he has been kind, patient and attentive; he has constantly gone above and beyond, which has been even more impressive in light of the current pressures of the NHS. He has been exceedingly thorough and we've all been very grateful to how he has considered my father's dignity and wishes at every opportunity, and led his team to do the same. Even when not able to be there in person, he has provided a careful safety netting plan and has encouraged my father to continue to work hard at his recovery, with the aim of returning him to his normal self (prior to admission). Additionally, Mr Hotouras' genuine care and compassion has been unparalleled and he has earned our total trust in his clinical judgement, as well as his commitment to complete honesty and transparency, despite the difficulty at times in having to do so. After a life-threatening hospital stay in hospital, my father is now recovering at home thanks to Mr Hotouras' fantastic surgical skills and commitment, which we know is dedicated to my father's long-term health and surgical outcome. I would happily recommend Mr Hotouras to anyone looking to find a truly fantastic surgeon. My family and I will be forever grateful.

I recently had bowel surgery under the care of Mr Hotouras. On his busy morning bed rounds he was always happy to take time to answer questions or concerns. He was a very reassuring presence and by the end of my stay I saw him as a friend as much as my consultant. I could not have asked for more attentive care and highly recommend his services.

Alex provided an outstanding service and paid meiticilous attention to detail when looking after my father who had a very complex case requiring multiple surgeries. He made time to inform my father and various family members of the situation and even sent updates even when on leave. He always went above and beyond the call of duty. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Our father and family are very grateful to have Alex as his consultant. We wish him all the best for the future. Kiran

Alex was very clear with what he wanted to do before the surgery and very clear after with what had happened. The communication was always very clear. I would recommend Alex to anyone having surgery (in his area).

Alex Hotouras is part of the uniformly excellent colorectal/gastroenterology team at Whipp Cross, part of the Barts Trust. Caring, supportive, and senstive to individual patient needs, Alex inspires confidence in both his treatment and his opinions on the best course for one's care. Having undergone a difficult programme of treatment, over an extensive period of time, Mr Hotouras has always been straightforward, informative and has helped me through the surgical and support process, backed up by the wider medical and nursing team. The needs of the individual patient are always at the centre of his concerns, yet at the same time he is suitably direct when imparting information and advice. His pragmatism and balanced approach is also reassuring. My treatment programme could have been much more difficult without the support and expertise of a consultant like Mr Hotouras and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to others.
