To Mr James Hopkins and team - I was admitted sept7 2016 and was operated on the next afternoon by Mr Hopkins and his team,they undoubtedly saved my life for which my dear wife and I are daily thankful. I was discharged 14 Sept to GP care. From the GP to ambulance men, reception, Mr James Hopkins and his surgical team, recovery, ICU, nursing on subsequent wards, to the caterers, cleaners etc. I received most prompt and efficient treatment. Thank you all so very much. David W Jefferies and family.

Mr Hopkins provided excellent quality of care when i was in S'mead Hospital recently. He was able to think 'outside the box' and focused on listening carefully to the history of my problem and not be side-tracked. This enabled him to perform minimal surgery without the need to do more invasive surgery. He was able to find the'migrated clip' without needing to do any gall bladder probing ( which some Drs had recommended) I am now pain free and can actually sit down for the 1st time in many weeks. Great work Dr, and thank you for your knowledge and skills!!!!!!!!!! How lucky we are to have an NHS providing such great care!!!! Thank you J.ross

I came into Southmead Hospital for a routine hernia operation expecting to have keyhole surgery. I was seen by this doctor and he explained to me that he was unable to do keyhole surgery as the hernia was too big. He was very informative and explained everything in detail that was understandable. It made me feel at eased and reassured. After the operation he took the trouble to come and see me and explained what he had done and to see if I was okay. I would highly recommend this doctor as he is kind and considerate.
