Having first met Mr Coombs 6 years ago I had no problems discussing my situation. He was then and still is very friendly and explains things in a simple and very understanding way. I have no doubt that should I need surgery he would be the very person to carry out same.

I met with Mr Coombs today during a follow up appointment for the surgery he had performed. He had a very caring and reassuring manner and explained my options clearly and concisely, answered all my questions and gave me useful information. I left the appointment feeling fully confident about the future. He is a great asset.

Having felt apprehensive about my appointment I was immediately put at ease on meeting Mr Coombs. He was very professional ,very caring and kind. Mr Coombs explained my condition , my procedure and aftercare throughly in a manner which I could understand and follow. I would reassure anyone that would be meeting Mr Coombs that they were in very capable and caring hands.

Very satisfied with my late afternoon meeting with Mr Coombs, he made me feel comfortable and explained in detail the procedure that he would be performing on my hernia. I also found the later appointment much easier to attend and I hope you will continue to offer them.
