Mr Andrew Pickersgill 2023-01-12 Person 5 5 0

I first met Andy following two years of misery and being messed around by the NHS. I was menopausal and suffering with extremely heavy bleeding. I am 49. He told me that I was menopausal and that my bleeding was linked to fibroids, which I had removed 3 years ago and recommended a hysterectomy. I was concerned about having such a procedure so young, but Andy told me this was the only sure way to get my quality of life back. He was right. Andy is a brilliant surgeon and a safe pair of hands. He explains things clearly and is extremely honest. Not only that, he has empathy and compassion and takes the time to listen and understand. I am an extremely nervous patient and he even came to the anaesthetic room and held my hand whilst I was put to sleep. He is a marvellous human being. My surgery went extremely well and although it was difficult, he managed to keep it keyhole and so my recovery was very quick. I was back at my desk 2 weeks after a complete (radical) hysterectomy. Following my surgery we discussed HRT and Andy made sure that we got the balance right, something we are continuing to monitor. So, from start to finish I received the best care from Andy and his team and would not hesitate to (and often do) recommend him.
