Following a referral by my GP, which I did not ask for, I received a phone call from Mr Grabham. I was shocked by his immediate attitude, he wasn't interested in my problem, he simply told me that he was not prepared to look into it any more as I'd had tests done 6 months previously. I asked him politely if things could possibly have changed, as I have been in constant pain which reduces me to tears for the last nine weeks, and he replied quite aggressively, no, 100%, I know my job - I never implied that he didn't know his job, I was simply asking a question. He seemed angry with both myself and my GP, saying that he didn't know why I'd been referred, and I said it was because my doctor was concerned when he saw the amount of pain I was in. I tried to ask him what the problem could be, and he accused me of raising my voice, which was totally untrue, and slammed the phone down. I have never encountered such arrogance and rudeness, I don't dispute that he's a good surgeon and he has a large number of patients, but it wasn't my fault that my GP was trying to do his best for me. This has caused me added distress and I simply hoped for some advice regarding my problems, and not to be made to feel that I was wasting his time.

After a routine colonoscopy, it was found I had an aggressive tumour in my bowel which had also adhered to my stomach wall. Mr Grabham’s care and consideration during the initial shock of the diagnosis, his quiet and determined approach to my case, his surgical skill in removing a large portion of bowel plus 29 lymph nodes and some stomach wall in a very long operation, and his positive and supportive aftercare since, have been absolutely and completely beyond reproach. I remember him coming in frequently to the ICU to check and to monitor my progress, even when not scheduled, and I had the reassurance that he was always available even when off site when the ICU nurses needed to query any care requirements with him. My diagnosis was complicated by the discovery that I am at higher risk of other cancers, and Mr Grabham has always been generous with his time and open and honest when I have contacted him with worries and concerns about possible symptoms. He has always responded promptly and clearly with recommendations or reassurance as needed. His forthright and honest manner have been of great comfort to me during and since the time of my operation, and I trust him implicitly.

I had an operation last summer which left me very disappointed with the services I received. I had complications and aftercare was almost non-existent.

I had a umbilical hernia operation with Dr Grabham and he was excellent. Extremely helpful, professional and thorough and I felt in very safe hands the whole way through.
