Reviews
Mr Imber literally and singlehandedly saved my life - I had cholangiocarcinoma that he successfully resected and 5 years on I am still cancer free. He is an excellent surgeeon, diligent in his care and attention, highly professional and a caring human being. I felt in the best of hands at all times and have total trust in him. I can recommend him whole-heartedly and witout any reservations!
I had 2 hernias on which Mr Imber operated.
From start to finish my care under Mr Imber was excellent. As soon as I met him I felt at ease. He explained everything that would happen during my procedure and how I would feel afterwards. He took time to listen to my concerns. He is a brilliant surgeon and a nice man. I would certainly recommend him. I would also like to mention having never had surgery before, many phone calls were made to Mr Imber's secretary, she was also always pleasant and helpful.
Mr Imber was very effective in my treatment. Before I attended my first appointment, he had already reviewed the results of my scan and recommended a course of action straight away. My procedure was scheduled for 2 weeks later, and everything went smoothly. I am very satisfied with Mr Imber’s treatment and would gladly recommend him to any other gallstone sufferers. Special mention to Mr Imber’s secretary as well, who was very helpful and responsive during the process.
Brilliant surgeon who dealt with my physical limitations and carried out a difficult operation with great success.
He treated me for a liver cyst and performed a fenestration which solved the problem without a painful recovery. My follow up appointment was also fine and thorough. I felt confident with Mr. Imber from day 1, and his lovely PA Rachel was also very efficient and professional. I would highly recommend Mr. imber for this kind of surgery.
