I was very happy with my before, during and after care by Mr De’Liguori Carino. I was presenting with a rather large uncomfortable lump in an embarrassing place. I felt that he dealt with me in a sensitive manner. He clearly explained my condition and what the next course of action was. I found the whole experience to be efficient and I felt I was in good hands by all the staff I encountered. Since the operation I haven’t had any issues, the condition has not returned and I feel fine. Thank you

Prior to my pre-op, Mr De'Liguori Carino was informative about the operation in such a way that I had complete confidence in his knowledge, experience and ability. He advised me of possible risks in a way that did not diminish that confidence. Similarly, on the day of the operation, his "bedside manner" negated any concerns I may have had. The only change I would have preferred was diminution of the waiting time between my arrival at the hospital at 0700hrs and going into theatre at around 12.00 noon. If this was not possible, I would have appreciated advance notice. This, however, was a minor issue in the great scale of things.

I would just like to express my thanks to Dr De'ligouri for all his help with my husband during his treatment for Pancreatic Cancer and subsequent Whipple operation, the care from the doctor and his staff was excellent, they were always available to help with any questions we had and we felt fully supported throughout this upsetting time for me and my family, the care we had leading up to surgery was absolutely fantastic in ensuring Trevor was fit and ready to face the Whipple procedure

I have recently had keyhole surgery done by Mr de’Liguori Carino to resolve a malignant insulinoma. At the initial consultation he clearly explained the condition and treatment in a calm and reassuring manner. He addressed all my queries and concerns, and this was applied throughout the treatment. Written inputs were also prompt, clear and suitably detailed. The major surgery was completed without complication, and I am well on the road to recovery. Feedback was kindly provided to a family member after the operation. Mr de’Liguori Carino has put a comprehensive future treatment plan in place. I am extremely grateful to him for the excellent care and treatment he provided. I can highly recommend him to cover surgical requirements and will actively seek to receive treatment from him again if the need ever arises.

Nicola de' Liguori Carino saved my life. Quite literally. I was told I was inoperable and advised to spend as much time with my baby boy as I could. Thanks to Pancreatic Cancer UK I sought a second opinion from Mr. de' Liguori for what is known as Nanoknife in the hope of giving me more time with my family. His care and attention to my case was excellent throughout, he was clear about my options and the associated risks and not only was he able to conduct the nanoknife surgery, he was also able to do a whipple, which is massive surgery taking almost 10hours. I have recently had my histology report back and am so so happy and grateful to be told I am now cancer free. I don't have the words to thank Mr. de'Liguori. He was professional, compassionate and open with me. I would recommend him to anyone who needed help and can honestly say I have 100% faith in his abilities as a surgeon and a human being. Thank you Mr.de'Liguori. Thank you.
