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.

Mr Blacker treated me as a “friend” from the very first meeting. He was very informative on the procedure to be carried out, which under my circumstances was very
re-assuring. Understandably though it was never far from my thoughts through the waiting period. The day for the procedure came and again Mr Blacker was re-assuring and generally comforting. The operation took place in the morning and I was back on the ward. In the afternoon. Mr Blacker came to visit me in the evening and confirmed to me that the procedure had been done with no complications and all had gone well. The next morning he again came to see me and told me I could go home that day. Since then I have been perfectly fine. I have since had a follow up scan followed by a telephone conversation with him which once more was reassuring and very welcome.
Through all this, he always had time listen to my questions and answer them fully.
Please accept my great thanks from myself and my husband.

Mr Blacker - made me feel at ease. He listened to my concerns, conducted a thorough examination confirming next steps. I’d recommend Mr. Blacker.

Mr. Blacker took great time to explain in layman's terms my condition and the recommended surgery for it. I found this not only informative but very reassuring which has given me full confidence to proceed with the recommended surgery. I was accompanied by my wife who is a retired SRN and SCM who was equally impressed with both Mr. Blacker's competence and empathy.
