Reviews
Mr Imber has been very attentive and caring throughout the whole experience and I always felt I was in good hands. Despite being very nervous about my condition, I felt reassured by Mr Imber and his staff and the experience was made as enjoyable and easy as possible.
I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Imber to anyone worried or confused about their condition or nervous about surgery. I felt very safe throughout.
Charles is open, straightforward and inspires confidence..
Mr Imber’s care, as always, is of the greatest quality and professionalism making one feel at ease and comfortable throughout. I always feel confident that I will be looked after and receive the best care possible.
Mr Imber is very clear when discussing my treatment and the results of any scans, tests, etc. He also makes himself available to discuss any issues or questions I may have. Overall, given the complexity and seriousness of my illness, I have always felt that I am in safe hands.
I had been diagnosed with bowel cancer and collaborating with Prof Murphy, Mr Imber removed my tumour and resectioned my upper colon and duodenum. This involved innovative revision of the digestive pathway and, significantly, avoided the Whipple procedure. This was complicated surgery carried out on Christmas Eve 2021 at The London Clinic. I have been recovering strongly since and look forward to being signed off shortly, thanks after being seen by my clinical oncologist. Mr Imber’s care, humour and skill inspired optimism in me at all times. I believe you never completely say goodbye to cancer once you have had it but I have been extremely lucky. 10 August 2022
