Mr Gavin Robertson

Written by a patient at The Leicester Nuffield Hospital

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!

A fantastic surgeon, will definitely be recommending to anyone with similar health issues to myself. Gallbladder removal operation went well with no issues, recovered well and was signed off after two weeks in my follow up consultation. I felt completely at ease with Mr Robertson and he answered any questions I had.

After suffering very acute pain and restless night, I attended Adult A&E on a Sunday . Later saw my own GP the following day. My GP kindly referred me to Mr Gavin Roberston after a scan confirming that it was a gall stone blockage in my bile duct.My GP reassured me that he was one of the best and well experienced Consultant Surgeons in Leicester. My initial consultation appointment come very quickly. My husband and I were both greeted warmly and made me feel very reassured. He patiently went through my medical history and my symptoms. He quickly confirmed my diagnosis and systematically went through options. He explained me in detail the surgical option and all complications involved. He also mentioned possibilities of suffering in pain if the condition was left untreated He answered all my worrying questions to my full satisfaction. This made me and my husband very comfortable I was then able to give my informed consent wholeheartedly. He quickly arranged for the surgery and I left the hospital smiling in good spirit. On the day of operation I was greeted by Mr Gavin Robertson and his excellent A Team who prepared me for the surgery. After the surgery ,he come smiling and gave good report that all went well. All the nursing staff were very friendly, reassuring and helpful. I was discharged on same day .I felt better than what i expected after a surgical procedure.I was able to walk and climb stairs unassisted. I was given a review appointment after a week ,followed by a monthly review appointment. I was thoroughly examined and given green flag to say all was well. I cannot thank Mr Gavin Roberston enough for making my patient journey from start to finish a very comfortable and memorable one. .He is an excellent , courteous and professional surgeon. I would recommend him to all my friends and family without any hesitation . Thank you once more for making me pain free !
