Mr Mario Teo

Written by a NHS patient at Southmead Hospital

I underwent a 10 hour craniotomy for the removal of a meningioma by Mr Teo at the end of October 2021. The pre-op consultation was thorough, detailed and any extra explanations needed were given as required. There was no sense of any time limit on the conversation. Mr Teo showed me the MRI scan and explained the implications of the size and positioning of the meningioma for my symptoms and the need for an early intervention. One month later I had the operation. I was discharged after 4 days ( less than the anticipated 8) and have made a steady and largely pain free recovery. I would have appreciated knowing that hair loss is not unusual in these circumstance but it occurred only over a period of 6 weeks and at the operation my hair was cut in a way which hid my scar. Five months later i have been able to resume many of my former activities and pursue a regular regime of exercise (at the gym and Pilates), and gardening. I have lost all the additional weight and 'moon-face' effect of the steroids. My stability is better than for several years. I saw Mr Teo again after 4 months and do not need to see him again for 12 months. My family and I are immensely grateful to Mr Teo for his expertise and approachability.

I had a benign tumour removed by Mr Teo in December 2021 and all I can say is that the service and expertise he and his team showed me was excellent. Any questions I asked were answered honestly and I am absolutely delighted with the outcome of my surgery

Mr Teo is an amazing and extremely skilled surgeon. He removed a large acoustic neuroma 4 months ago and the operation was successful. I can not recommend him enough. He is very kind and caring and never rushes you through appointments, allowing you to ask as many questions as you feel you need. An excellent surgeon.
