Reading the reports of Oliver Warren's work was very helpful to both my family and me so I wanted to add my own account of my recent experience. I was referred to Oliver Warren for a right hemi-colectomy, following discovery by excellent endoscopist Dr Ainley of a polyp that could only be removed surgically. I had never had major surgery before. Of course I was anxious-- it was possible it would turn out to be cancer-- but in the pre-op meetings Mr Warren was immediately clear, reassuring and realistic. He gave excellent and helpful advice on coming into hospital, never rushed me, answering my questions with sensitivity as well as directness. The pre-op tests were all thorough and again reassuring. I knew at once that I was in excellent hands. The operation took place at the London Clinic, lasted less than 2 hours and Mr Warren did it with a single small incision. I had suffered bad reactions from anaesthesia in the past but had absolutely no problems this time thanks to him and Rebecca, the excellent anaesthetist. Obviously having such a small incision minimized the risk of post op complications. I was up the next day, have had remarkably little pain, and came home on Day 3. And the pathology results were good. It’s now about a month later and I’m doing amazingly well. One thing Mr Warren did on visiting me in the hospital—-I still had a wad of cotton wool on my hand from a cannula recently removed—he casually took it off, “Too much like a patient” he said. A small thing perhaps, but oddly empowering. I felt better for it. And now feel very lucky to have received such all round excellent care. I cannot recommend him too highly.
