Mr Andrew Pickersgill

Written by a patient at The Alexandra Hospital - part of Circle Health Group

Having been diagnosed with endometriosis in 2009 while living abroad and after suffering 2 miscarriages, I had my first consultation with Mr Pickersgill to discuss options. In this first consultation Mr Pickersgill listened to our history and understood our situation completely. He was able to offer advice and reassurance and following this appointment we decided to plan a laparoscopy with Mr Pickersgill to treat any ongoing endometriosis. The surgery took place in August 2015 and I was in and put of hospital in a day. After subsequent follow up appointments with Mr Pickersgill and treatment for hyperplasia I am now pregnant with twins. Without his expertise and care, I'm not sure we would have succeeded in reaching our dream of decoming parents.

Hes an amazing doctor!! Caring, friendly and professional. He knows exactly what he's doing in all his trained areas and very knowledgeable, I really wouldnt want to use anyone else. He's treated me for a few things and most recently a hysterectomy and I was up and about with no problems in no time! He's really very good at what he does and I'd highly recommend him (and Karen his secretary is very efficient too.) Thanks Mr P for everything you've done so well...and most importantly for helping give me my kids(helping me surgically I mean!)

I was previously under a different doctor at Wythenshawe who was rude, and didn't listen. I was moved to Mr Pickersgill and he is a breath of fresh air. A truly wonderful doctor, who takes the time to understand his patient, who reads the notes and who gets it. He put me at ease within about 5 mins after fretting about my gynae issues and pain for so many months. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone!

I have been under the care of this amazing consultant for a year now. I can't thank Mr Andrew Pickersgill enough. He is an amazing surgeon. You can have total faith and trust in him. August last year I found out I had a large endometriosis cyst on my left ovary which was 15cm. after a stressful few month and horrific pain I had surgery in December with Andrew who explained everything and my options. As I still haven't had any children I was worried this was going to affect me conceiving. Andrew listened and was very caring and explained he will do all he can to make sure I still have a chance to have children. The surgery in December 2015 he suggested I have the cyst drained first as it was so big he didn't want to damage my ovary, and go back after 3months to have the cyst removed. After this surgery which was successful and also he drained 1liter of fluid from the cyst. He also discovered that there was more cyst on the surface of my bladder back of the vagina and the onto the surface of my bowels. As this sounded scary and stressful he was still able to keep me positive and able to reassure me he will do all he can to remove all the endometriosis. At this point I felt better after speaking to him. He always kept me updated covered all areas. Also If I ever called him and left as message he would always call me back. I couldn't of asked for anything more. After 8months of stress and feeling down I had my final surgery in May 2016 which was a success Andrew was able to remove all endometriosis, even tho this was extensive surgery as he explained to me after almost 4 hour surgery which should of only took 45mins the cysts was all over and was very complex for him to remove but HE DID IT :). I just wanted to say thank you for everything and making me feel better and being so caring and understanding. We need more doctors like you, I feel blessed you was my consultant. I highly recommend him. I am now trying for a baby :) and feeling 100% in my-self.
