I recently had my gall bladder removed by Mr Robertson at the Nuffield Hospital. Throughout the whole procedure I felt he explained everything, answered any questions and listened. After 2 weeks of recovery I am returning to work/normal duties. Mr Robertson and the staff were friendly and professional throughout the entire process.

I consulted Mr Robertson about an inguinal hernia that I had been living with for some years. As it had changed and was giving more discomfort I decided to try and get something about it. Mr Robertson was friendly and courteous and immediately instilled confidence and trust. His examination identified a secondary incisional hernia that I had been unaware of. Mr Robertson explained clearly the proposed procedure to me dealing with all aspects, risks and possible after effects. The procedure was carried about 3 weeks after the initial consultation,the delay being due to my diary restrictions. The care and skill of Mr Robertson and all his colleagues and staff at Spire Hospital was second to none and I returned home the same evening with none of the possible side effects. Recovery has been quicker than I was expecting and after two weeks I am back to doing almost everything. I would recommend Mr Robertson to anyone and am very grateful elected to first consult him.

This was my first experience of surgery and I found Mr Robertson to be extremely understanding and reassuring. He explained the procedure clearly and was happy to answer questions. The operation was a complete success and I returned home the same day. Mr Robertson is an experienced surgeon who I would recommend to anyone requiring his excellent skills. I would also like to mention the friendly and helpful staff at the Leicester Nuffield Hospital who took such excellent care of me. I was very impressed by the whole experience.

I have recently had my gall bladder removed, by keyhole, and Gavin Robertson was my surgeon. Mr Robertson explained the procedure clearly and I was operated on within a week of my consultation. I returned home on the same evening, reassured by Mr Robertson that all had gone well, and, although I had some discomfort, within a few days I was able to return to normal duties, requiring minimal pain relief. Two weeks from the date of my operation I am returning to work! It's great to be pain free! A special mention to Chris Elton and also to the team at Nuffield. Thank you for the excellent care I received.

Larascopic Gallbladder removal 11/10/19. Recovery has been much easier than I anticipated and I believe this is mainly due to this surgeons skill and delicate hand - barely bruised and very small scars in comparison to many others I have seen in an online group that have had the same procedure elsewhere. This was my first ever surgery and Mr Robertson was extremely patient and understanding even though I had a whole list of questions!
