I had been suffering from piles/haemorrhoids for over 20 years and no GP advised me properly until I decided to do some research myself and asked my GP to be seen by a specialist. I chose Dr Sumrien, based on previous reviews and was not disappointed. When we first met, I immediately knew that I could trust him. He examined me and thoroughly explained what I was suffering from and what could be done. In my case, surgery under general anaesthesia was the only option as some skin tags needed to be removed too. He warned me that it would be painful for some time but will improve my quality of life in the long run. I appreciated his honesty and surgery went ahead. The care I received was amazing and after being given the green light by Dr Sumrien, I was able to go home in the evening. He had reinforced that the next days would be challenging so pain didn’t come as a surprised yet I managed with Paracetamol and avoided Codeine. In my personal situation, it took about 3 weeks for the pain to disappear however I was able to stop the painkillers after 10 days. Being a healthy and sporty person, I tried to walk every day and managed to go back into running (slow sensible pace to start with) after 5 weeks. I had my follow-up appointment after six weeks and Dr Sumrien was extremely pleased with the outcome. I must say that I am too! Being in pain for some days was worth it so if you have to have the same kind of intervention, I want to encourage you to think long-term and to fully trust Dr Sumrien. His knowledge, professionalism, care, kindness as well as the fact that he has the well-being of his patients at heart, made this whole journey a good one and I am very grateful and thankful for that.
