Mr Christian Macutkiewicz

Written by a private patient at Spire Manchester Hospital

Mr Macutkiewicz did an excellent job repairing my Inguinal Hernia. He fully explained the procedure he was going to carry out and what was to be expected after the surgery. He has a very friendly demeanour and a gentle manner. I can highly recommend Mr Macutkiewicz.

I met Mr Macutkiewicz after reading his reviews online, and I am glad I did. His deep knowledge and calm, reassuring manner explained what was happening to me, and gave me the confidence to press on with surgery to remove my gallbladder... and in just a few weeks it was all done. He met me on the day before the operation to explain again what he was going to do, and once again just after the op to talk me through it and how it went. It was a little more complex than usual, but thankfully went very well, and I have since recovered fantastically - the scars are incredibly small, and there have been very few aches and pains. I can once again eat without the fear of an attack, and six weeks later I am back in the gym and training well. I am so grateful to Mr Macukiewicz, he's literally given me a new lease of life and I can't thank him enough. I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone considering a gallbladder removal.

The surgery was explained very well, and I felt incredibly comfortable and safe throughout the entire procedure. After care was amazing too, and all staff were so attentive and caring. Can’t thank Christian enough.

I have nothing but praise for the treatment I received from Mr. Christian Macutkiewicz. From the initial consultation I felt completely at ease with him, he took the time to explain everything in clear and concise terms, and everything happened as he said it would. It was a seamless and timely process from start to finish. He is a very caring and compassionate Doctor, and I have no hesitation in recommending him.

After an emergency admission into RAEI Wigan in Apr 22, with a diagnosis of acute gallstone pancreatitis, I was referred for gallbladder surgery on two occasions with both procedures cancelled. On the third occasion surgery was abandoned due to complications with a referral to the HPB facility at MRI. Due to declining health, angst and to break the logjam of the NHS I saw Mr Macutkiewich privately in Feb 23 with private scans shortly afterwards. On meeting Mr Macutkiewicz, I was immediately reassured firstly by his welcome and informality, it was Christian thereafter and then by his insistence surgery must happen at a specialist NHS unit at the MRI. I was admitted for surgery at the MRI on 9 May 23 and discharged after 5 days. I was resigned to the likelihood of open surgery and was delighted to find post-op that despite the complication the procedure was completed laparoscopically; I’m in awe at Christian’s skill. His care and courtesy have been special throughout, he is also the nicest of men and I’m lucky to have been under his care. I’ll always be grateful to Christian and his team my health is now greatly improved. It was my pleasure to agree to a video of my procedure being used as a training aid to assist others. I’d also like to thank Dr Roofa Mushtaq, Consultant Anaesthetist, for his handling of my difficult airway and for his recommendations for future airway management.
