Mr Gavin Robertson

Written by a patient at Spire Leicester Hospital

Before locating Mr. Robertson I had a bad experience with an open inguinal hernia repair carried out by another general surgeon in another hospital in another town and was fearful of having further repair surgery. Having witnessed my wife's excellent surgical care at Spire Leicester Hospital I decided to check out the general surgeons there and decided that Mr. Robertson would be the man, and I was right. What a professional, yet caring and reassuring surgeon, who carried out a bilateral laparoscopic hernia repair with total success, clearly explaining everything and leaving me with great confidence. I am so pleased to have been treated by Mr. Robertson and thoroughly recommend him to anyone requiring general surgery.

Gavin Robertson performed a very successful removal of my troublesome gall bladder by laparoscopic procedure back in 2003 so it was only natural that I would again seek his expert opinion as my GP had diagnosed I had a hernia which needed to be repaired. Mr Robertson confirmed I actually had a bilateral hernia and he performed laparoscopic surgery to his exceptionally high standard, this was undertaken at the Spire Hospital in Leicester. I'm still off work recovering at home but all is progressing well and I have not encountered any problems whatsoever. Mr Robertson has a very calming and reassuring persona which inspires you with great confidence that your condition will be resolved successfully by him. He is open to questions and understands what you are asking him and responds with great clarity and openness. I would not hesitate at all in recommending Mr Robertson.

Listens, explains, approachable, very knowledgeable. This outstanding gentleman takes all the uncertainty away that you feel when you go into theatre. The after care i.e follow up appointments are on time, succinct and friendly.

Mr Robertson carried out surgery for my partners gall stones. He made me welcome and included me at every stage of the procedure, from the initial consultation through to the follow up appointments. He explained the procedure clearly and had plenty of time for any questions. His after care was second to none.

Mr Robertson was my surgeon for key hole surgery to remove my gall bladder. Having had different operations in the past I speak with some experience of consultants/surgeons. Mr Robertson is by far the best I have encountered - he is caring, listens to what you are saying, personable and above all a fantastic surgeon. My operation was a great success and I was out of hospital the same day feeling on top of the world. Although I was a NHS patient I was not made to feel any less special than if I had been a private patient. I cannot recommend Mr Robertson more highly. I felt like I was his only patient and was made to feel completely at ease. I thank him from the bottom of my heart for doing a fabulous job. It has also made me look into taking out a private patient plan from now on having experienced this.
