I met Mr Cheetham briefly when I required emergency surgery. The surgery turned out to be a perforated bowel which required a repair but also the formation of a temporary Stoma. In the subsequent weeks in hospital to recover from the surgery, peritonitis & infections I was treated with respect & compassion. It was a difficult situation and a hard change to accept but Mr Cheetham provided invaluable advice & support. My recovery was slow and required additional surgery & lengthy hospital stay - during this time I was visited by him every day, even days where there was no change in my status. In my many follow up appointments I was always listened to and my wishes/issues always taken into account. Mr Cheetham has since performed two more surgeries for me - one to reverse the Stoma and one to repair a hernia. He has always has my utmost trust and faith. He is a great surgeon but also a compassionate & caring person. I would not hesitate to recommend him as a surgeon & doctor. I have been both a private patient at the Nuffield Hospital and also under his NHS care at Royal Shrewsbury Hospital. The standard of care at the Nuffield is excellent, however I did not feel any lesser commitment to my care from Mr Cheetham whilst I was an inpatient at the RSH
