Everything about this appointment ran smoothly. I was seen on time and greeted with a friendly smile. Mr Thornton was relaxed, reassuring and most importantly, very clear and easy to understand, without being in any way dismissive. I have every confidence that he will do what is best for me, and that my health is in safe hands. I left the Hospital feeling 'lighter' than I have for some time. Thank you . There is nothing I can think of which could be improved upon at this stage, but it is good to know that, as a patient, I have been given this opportunity to give 'feedback'.

Dr Thornton was absolutely lovely, his bedside manner was caring and very polite. He treated my Mother In Law with the utmost courtesy and she felt at ease with him. He explained everything to us in great detail.
Profile
Upon completing medical school in Sheffield in 2000, my early surgical training was completed in South Yorkshire following which I moved to Merseyside to complete my higher surgical training. During this period I also completed a 2 year period of research into colorectal cancer towards my MD thesis.
I have recently been appointed as a Consultant in General and Colorectal Surgery at Wrexham Maelor Hospital, with a subspecialty interest in Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery. Prior to commencing this position, I completed a 6-month Laparoscopic fellowship working with Professor Pete Sagar at St James Hospital in Leeds. This training allowed me to extend my skills with advanced laparoscopic colorectal procedures. I have experienced the breadth of subspecialty colorectal practice, training in both tertiary referral and district general units. I manage both elective and emergency general surgical conditions.
My expertise is within all aspects of gastrointestinal disease, but in particular, colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, incontinence and benign proctology including fistula and fissure. I am also trained in most aspects of general surgery such as abdominal wall hernia and gallstones.
