After being hospitalised twice for severe cholecystitis I knew that I would need to have my gallbladder removed. I did a lot of research to find the best surgeon in my area and decided to consult Mr De' Liguori Carino. I had two consultations with him and a MRI scan. I found him to be very professional, respectful and reassuring. Surgery was scheduled quickly and I was able to choose the most convenient time and place for me. The operation was a laparoscopic cholecystectomy and it went very smoothly, despite my gallbladder being very inflamed. Mr De' Liguori came to see me before I went down to theatre and again after the operation when he was able to reassure me that all went well. I am now 5 weeks post op and so impressed by how quickly I recovered. My scars are fully healed and virtually invisible. I am eating normally and doing all my normal activities including walking up hills in the Lake District where I live. I am sure that this is due to the skill and expertise of my surgeon and I am so glad I found him! Due to Covid 19 a follow up appointment was impossible but Mr De' Liguori telephoned me instead and answered any questions I had. I know that cholecystectomy is a fairly routine operation compared to most of the surgery that Mr De'Liguori Carino carries out but he clearly explained the potential risks so that I was fully informed, and I felt that he completely understood that for me this was a very challenging experience. I recommend him wholeheartedly to any person who is unfortunate to be suffering from gallbladder disease. In my opinion he is an excellent surgeon and very kind and compassionate. I couldn't have wished for better care.
