Mr Andrew Tsang 2017-03-05 Person 5 5 0

I cannot speak highly enough of Mr Tsang. When I first met him at my fourth endoscopy appointment in five years (the first one having taken place at Addenbrookes Hospital, Cambridge) he was the only person to have identified from my notes that Addenbrookes had originally discussed with the team, and my consultant at Edith Cavell Hospital, Peterborough, the possibility of an operation to remove a GIST from my stomach. It had apparently been left in abeyance since 2011, whilst they continued to monitor the GIST with regular endoscopies. I was never told about this discussion. He was also the first person to have carried out an endoscopy on me which left me WITHOUT a sore throat and WITHOUT any discomfort in my stomach after the procedure. When he offered me the opportunity of an operation to remove the GIST, having fully explained all aspects of the procedure and aftercare, I was in no doubt that I wanted him personally to perform the operation. I have been delighted with the outcome of the operation. I was amazed to have experienced so little discomfort even immediately after the operation, and my full recovery has been swift. The expertise and care of Mr Tsang and his team has been brilliant. I could not have wished for a more expert and compassionate surgeon, and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone undergoing a similar operation to mine.
