I was very much aware that Mr James Hewes and his team were taking very good care of me, even though I presented them with a difficult case, and had to stay in hospital longer than expected.
I was told to expect a follow up appointment letter several weeks after my discharge from hospital. When this did not materialize I decided to contact Mr Hewes secretary who had no knowledge I was waiting for my appointment.
At my follow up appointment I found Mr Hewes listened well, he was easy to talk to, informative and reassuring.
I have recovered well after my surgery and feel I have my life back thanks to Mr James Hewes and his dedicated team at Southmead, and Frenchay Hospital. Many many thanks to you all.

James was a great collegue to train with as a registrar. After many years I still remember his considered and careful approach to diagnosis and management. I am not surprised that he has done so well in his career. Nebil Behar, Surgeon

Mr.Hewes removed my gall bladder and also removed a large stone from my bile duct. He warned me that the stitches might leak and I might have to have the drain in for a few weeks. This didn't happen and I'm now home, recovering very well and feeling blessed that I was in the hands of such a great team. We don't realise how lucky we are in the Bristol area.

I found Mr Hewes to be professional and courteous, he also explained in detail my problem and the options available and answered all my questions. He has excellent communication/ patient skills and explained everything in a way that I would understand.
