I recently had my gall bladder removed by Mr Gavin Robertson. He was very reassuring and easy to talk to. My operation was completely successful, I was home the same day and recovered very quickly. The keyhole surgery was amazing and the tiny scars are almost invisible already only 3 weeks after my operation. During the whole process and the consultations before and since my surgery Mr Robertson has been kind, considerate and helpful. I feel priviledged and very lucky to had been his patient. The whole hospital experience was very positive and upbeat.

I was treated by Mr Robertson for the removal of my gall bladder. I thought him very kind and caring, very easy to talk to, and I felt safe under his care. He did an excellent job and I was very happy.

I requested a second opinion and to be referred to Mr Robertson through my GP following very unsatisfactory and inconsistent answers to my questions and always seeing different doctors at the NHS hospital. From the very first meeting with Mr Robertson I got very clear and honest answers to my questions and felt that Mr Robertson had as much time as I needed to address all of my concerns. This very calm, honest and very professional persona that Mr Robertson has is evident from the first consultation through pre and post operation visits to the final consultation. If you are unfortunate enough to need expert advice and an operation I would thoroughly recommend Mr Robertson.

Mr Robertson performed keyhole surgery to correct a hernia I had for several months. He listened very carefully when we first met, diagnosed the issue quickly, set a date and proceeded from there. On the day of the op, he explained the procedure and told me exactly how I would be affected afterwards and how recovery would continue. His staff were extremely friendly and gave me excellent care throughout the day. Although I wasn't looking forward to surgery the day went without incident or nervousness on my part, when I awoke after surgery I was calm and comfortable. No after effects and now I feel strong and well again, everything appears to be fine. I believe Mr Robertson and his team have every thing worked out fine with their procedure at Spire in Oadby from checking in to release after all is complete. I wouldn't change anything.
