Reviews
In December 2013 I had an epigastric hernia repair. Although I have had previous operations this was my first time at Nuffield Hospital under the care of Dr Robertson. I can only say positive things about my experience. At all times I was treated with the utmost courtesy and everything was explained clearly and in a manner that was both comforting and reassuring. I have no hesitation in recommending Dr Robertson and the Nuffield Hospital. Three weeks on my scar is healing and I am back attending most of my fitness classes. Thank you.
I attended the Spire Hospital to undergo removal of Gallbladder by Dr Gavin Robertson.
Dr Gavin Robertson was very professional and took time to clearly explain the procedure in detail. This promoted a feeling of trust and that I was in safe hands. Procedure all went well as planned with no post operation problems.
I would fully recommend Dr Gavin Robertson.
I have just had an umbilical hernia repair and not having had any operation before, I was very apprehensive. However, from the first appointment, through to the operation and aftercare, I couldn't have wished for better care. Everything was explained to me in detail, before the procedure and also the visit by Mr Robertson immediately I came round from the anaesthetic followed by his visit the next day before I went home. I am very pleased that I now have a normal tummy button and the only scaring is within this. I can now get back to all the normal activities. I never experienced any of the pain that was predicted and virtually no bruising.
Pre and post operative care and attentiveness was superb. Made me feel at ease with the upcoming operation and I was more than happy for Dr Robertson to go ahead.
I had a double hernia repair at the Nuffield Hospital in September 2013. From the moment of the first consultation with Mr Robertson through to the aftercare follow-up, I was totally confident in every respect. He explained the procedure thoroughly along with the expected outcome. I was back in the gym after 2 weeks and 6 weeks on I am, as promised, stronger than before. Not a hint of a twinge or any visible scarring!!
I can recommend Mr Robertson without reservation.
