From the moment Dr Blacker sat down with me he made me feel at ease. He explained all options and was very open and honest. I’m now 10 months post full nephrectomy and doing very well. 100% if you have a choice in surgeon I would recommend Mr Blacker. Also my scar compared to a lot I have seen is amazing.

Right from the first minute Mr Blacker was friendly, personable and made me feel comfortable. I think we are similar ages and that helped and possibly have a similar sense of humour. We were pre- armed with what might be discussed due to a document being uploaded to the NHS app that probably should not have been however on the plus side this meant that we had an idea about what the conversation may involve. Mr Blacker was extremely informative about the after care too which has put our minds at ease a little. Many thanks

I am currently under the care of Mr Antony Blacker and have had an initial consultation with him. I found him to be extremely professional,helpful and friendly. He was very reassuring during the consultation and was able to explain everything to me clearly which really did help. He took the time to email me personally about scan results and really does show care and professionalism towards his patients. I wouldn't hesitate to reccomend him to anybody and i look forward to being under his care and guidance until discharge.

Having met and spoken in depth with mr Anthony Blacker about my medical issues I found him as perfect a doctor and surgeon that you would want. I truly cannot recommend him highly enough. I have read the other reviews here and I agree with people who state that he speaks in basic medical terms that are easy to understand, very thorough in his examinations and the conclusions that he comes to and extremely empathetic. He went above and beyond all of my expectations during and after my surgery. A wonderfully skilled surgeon. Thank you Mr Blacker.
