After a long time of suffering from hemmorrhoids I came to see Mr von Roon at OneWellbeck clinic. He listened, examined me and provided me with a few options. He's a very clear thinking and caring doctor. Eventually I needed a surgery which went very well and completely solved my problem. I would highly recommend Mr von Roon.

Mr Von Roon is a 5 star Surgeon. My laposcopic robotic hemicolectomy was completed with such skill...that I woke up pain free and completely mobile. Not only is he a highly skillful surgeon but he is highly personable and patient centred. Due to his skillful surgery I am now cancer free.

I was a patient of Mr Von Roon at The Princess Grace Hospital in June 2020. At all times I found him to be professional and caring. From the very first time I met him I was with my son and feeling nervous and apprehensive he put both my son and I at ease and we were left feeling totally confident in his abilities and I was happy to entrust him with my surgery for bowel cancer. As mentioned in a previous review I would agree that he is a very caring man who made you feel like you were his only patient and his main priority. I feel he supported me having this operation explaining to me exactly what to expect afterwards. Another lovely touch was that he called my son immediately after my operation to ensure him I was ok and that the procedure had gone well. I would recommend Mr Von Roon not only in my opinion is he an exceptional surgeon but also a wonderful man. Ellen Sandford.
