I came to Mr Pickersgill after receiving amazing A&E care from Stepping Hill hospital which unfortunately wasn't matched by follow up diagnostic treatment. He was recommended by someone as being the most "human" of the consultants within his specialist area and this is a description I 100% endorse. He listened to me to make sure he had all the facts, given that he was taking over my case part-way through, and was very patient every time I got my notebook out with my long list of questions, the answers to which I had to also write down if I was going to remember anything once I had left the room! He gave me options to consider as part of my treatment and answered all my questions regarding associated risks and how each option would suit me as an individual (not a case study). He is friendly, personable, honest and has a sense of humour (not all specialists possess this quality). He spoke to me like a knowledgeable friend rather than a consultant dealing with a patient. The comment made by someone else about never rushing an appointment is spot on and I never minded waiting if he was running late as I knew he would give me the same dedicated attention when it was my turn. Mr Pickersgill is a credit to his profession and I am so grateful for the care and attention received from him. Again, thank you so much.
