My first experience of Mr Deguara FRCS was at gastroscopy at Kingston Hospital. This procedure had to be repeated because I unknowingly pulled out the tube. Mr Deguara was sympathetic to this situation and the second attempt proceeded without discomfort. He was very thorough throughout the entire preoperative phase. Following the diagnosis of a very large hiatus hernia, he communicated in detail with verbal, written and illustrative information about the proposed operation. I underwent screening under the NHS at Kingston Hospital with excellent care but I elected to have my surgery at the nearby New Victoria Hospital at a time when the national news was forecasting potential delays in elective surgery under the NHS.
My postoperative care in the private hospital was excellent. On discharge, there was telephone access to Mr Deguara had it been required.
On return home, I did experience some health issues not directly related to the surgery. My GP thought these were largely age-related. On the positive side, I have no reflux, dysphasia or requirement for antacids, as a result of my surgery, which is a most gratifying result.
In summary the overall outcome was very positive, though the experience was challenging for a 75-year old! Mr Deguara is a consultant who displays thoroughness, integrity, empathy and consummate expertise.
I am very happy with the NHS treatment I received from Mr Deguara. After carrying out several investigations he confirmed that I had a large hiatus hernia. He recommended that I had keyhole fundoplication surgery to correct this. He clearly explained the procedure, the recovery time and possible side-effects. The operation went well and on waking up I no longer had the acid reflux and nausea I’d been suffering from for over a year. The scars healed very quickly and after a week or so I felt very healthy again.
At all times, Mr Deguara was courteous and kind. I would recommend him for this type of surgery.
I was so lucky to have been looked after by this fantastic human being, he listened to me answered with honestly, and carried out a difficult operation without any problems thank you again Mr deguara.
very efficient and informative.
no subsequent issues with my treatment, and a speedy recovery; all as described
I was referred to Mr Deguara, due to having gallstones. From the first appointment, I found him to be very knowledgeable, professional and most importantly I immediately felt reassured and that I was in safe hands.
Arranging the appointment for the operation was very easy and helped by great communication from Mr Deguara. My operation was done at the New Victoria hospital in Kingston, I found all nurses and all staff alike to be very friendly, I was very well looked after from the moment I arrived. This is an outstanding Hospital.
Needless to say the surgery was a success, and I am now pain free, and very much back to my normal self!!. I would really recommend Mr Deguara , he is a true testament to the medical profession. Thank you.
