Mr Marcus De Matas 2019-01-10 Person 5 5 0

I cannot stress enough how fantastic Mr Marcus DeMatus has been throughout my whole experience of being in hospital. I am a patient who has been diagnosed with Cauda Equina Syndrome and if it wasn’t for him and his team, I could have been left paralysed and incontinent. Although it is still very early days with regards to how much damage had already been done to my nerves before the operation, things are looking very promising and I dread to think what would have happened if I hadn’t got myself to the hospital when I did. Not only is Mr DeMatus so clever at what he does in surgery, his bedside manner is second to none. He is so approachable, explains things in language that you can actually understand, rather than technical jargon, and has a great sense of humour to go along with it! He has really put my mind at rest whenever he could and I’ve been so grateful for how he has managed to find the time to make so many visits to check on me, despite how busy he must be with his other patients. This guy is my hero and I can’t thank him enough! Mrs Claire Hurst.
