I was under the care of Mr Ockrim whilst at Yeovil hospital. I had bowel cancer and had waited 31 days while my GP didn't listen to me and was convinced I only had constipation. Thanks to Mr Ockrim and his team this was quickly diagnosed when another GP finally recommended that I should go get it properly looked at at Yeovil hospital. I was very happy with the care I received under Mr Ockrim, he has a very nice nature and I have every confidence in him as a surgeon.

I have just read a very distressing review written on 1st March 2021 from a grieving relative surrounding the appalling treatment and subsequent death of his/her 90yr old Father. It seems that this poor old gentleman died from advanced bowel cancer because Jonathan Ockrim did not take the gentleman seriously and offer appropriate care and attention in a timely manner at the consultation stage. I am the grieving wife of man who also died as a result of a missed bowel cancer while under the care of Jonathan Ockrim and would like to know why this so called consultant surgeon is still allowed to practice? He obviously has a very poor reputation and wonder just how many more unnecessary deaths this man has been responsible for and how many more unnecessary deaths Yeovil District Hospital want on their hands before they take appropriate action and get rid of him for good!

I took my 90yr old blind Father to see this Doctor on the recommendation of his surgery. He had ongoing symptoms that were worsening. He took one look at Dad, and fairly much minimised the symptoms. I put him right and explained exactly what was happening. He turned to me and asked me what I expected him to do. He seemed surprised when I asked him to do his job. He then took a 5 minute call from a colleague. That’s a long time when we were just sat there. He eventually ended his call, took another look at Dad and said ‘we’ll do some tests, if you want’. He made it perfectly obvious that he didn’t think it was worth it. On leaving his office, Dad observed quite loudly that ‘that bloke didn’t want to see me’. Even he was aware of this Surgeons dismissive attitude. Dad eventually decided not to have the very invasive tests done. He was diagnosed, not long after a collapse, by a simple CT scan ordered by the wonderful Emergency Dept. He had Large Bowel, Small Bowel and bladder Cancer. He died 4 months later. He maybe a Consultant but his attitude was appalling.

My husband died horribly as a result of a missed bowel cancer by Mr Jonathan Ockrim. My suggestion to him would be to read the referral letter and to focus completely on the patient at the time of first consultation; to put his DUTY OF CARE to the patient first and foremost; take a full history from the patient; listen to the patient; make a full and considered care plan; not to discharge before the reason for referral has been fully investigated.

Mr Ockrim operated on my dear Mother on the 1st of July, he met with my sister Claire and I to discuss everything and he showed great compassion and care to us as well as my Mum. The operation was explained to be very complicated and as she is 81 years old it was not an easy task to undertake. However, my Mother was faced with the decision to either operate or face palliative care or go a head and have the surgery. After a long conversation with my Mother and Mr Ockrim, she decided that she would go a head and have the surgery. Mr Ockrim called me after the operation and was very pleased with the out come. My Mother now continues improving every day and me and my family owe our thanks to the skill and compassion that Mr Ockrim continues to give.
