Reviews
Mr Macutkiewicz put me at ease during the whole process with good humour and clear communication. He communicated effectively with the NHS team that treated me previously to execute the removal of my gall bladder & appendix. I am a changed man & would thoroughly recommend. I have had a couple of surgeries previously & this was by far the best in terms of experience, scar healing & recovery. Thanks again!
Dr Macutkiewicz's expert advice was very reassuring and calming with the diagnosis was well explained and careful consideration provided on the presenting the varying solution to reflect your current and future lifestyle. Very respectful, the pre-operation advice was well considered and with the wider team the service was excellent from start to finish and very polite and responsive team
If being pedantic, the post operation recovery room experience could have been better, after coming round from surgery, with the nurse support, I didn't feel the individual was as accommodating as previous pre-op staff, but that could have also been lack of me being conscious on my part and not in the right frame of mind. This was offset by the pre-operation nurse who was excellent and removed any concerns/nerves through excellent comms, calming nature and friendlessness (at a stressful time).
All very good experience and would recommend to others, hopefully don't need to do this again, but I know i can go back to Dr Macutkiewicz if future health issues arise.
Thanks again for advice and operation, and keep up the excellent work,
Mr. Macutkiewicz is the most professional, sympathetic, empathetic, compassionate and kind gentleman I have met.
I was an extremely nervous patient and throughout the process he was completely understanding of my fears and did everything in his power to allay them.
My healing process was surprisingly quick and trouble free thanks to his surgical skills.
I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him to anyone, particularly if they were nervous or worried about their procedure.
I cannot thank him enough.
He was a very friendly, attentive and affable consultant willing to take the time to explain carefully to patients and hence giving good rapport and assurance at consultation. As for the procedure itself, treatment was smooth, successful and as can be expected. There was good post-op after-care attention and attendance (coming back again as patient was still not awake) and making the effort to explain procedure and any discoveries explained. Excellent final consultation with conclusive diagnosis of conditions to allay any present or future concerns.
Overall, a top quality experience. Would wish all/majority of doctors can provide and follow such a model of patient care.
I have recommended Mr Macutkiewicz to a friend who needs surgery because I know she will receive the best treatment. This doctor went above and beyond normal expectations when he continued to keep in touch after my treatment and give advice when I needed it.
