Mr Paul Goldsmith

Written by a private patient at Manchester Royal Infirmary

Mr Goldsmith recently performed a Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy on me. His care from my initial appointment, to the surgery, and to my follow up care has been exemplary. I felt heard and understood, with a caring empathetic, yet practical approach. Many thanks. Mrs Anna Kydd

Paul Goldsmith was superb. He diagnosed me quickly, he explained the options of surgery thoroughly and put my mind at ease and made comprehensive notes on all my symptoms ahead of the surgery. Post surgery, Paul was easy to contact and answered any questions I had throughout the recovery period and the surgery itself went really well with no complications. As a side note, Paul is very personable which was refreshing as his sense of humour immediately made me feel comfortable. I would highly recommend Paul.

I have endured decades of my health going down-hill, due to acid reflux impacting my quality of life and more recently I was deteriorating further still. I had been under the NHS care for 10 + years, only being offered increased medications and was told I would NOT be a candidate for any surgery. I needed help….. Following diligent checks on many consultant surgeons in this field, I finally contacted Paul Goldsmith at Spire Hospital, Manchester to discuss the RefluxStop device. From the initial consultation I knew I could put my trust in him to help bring a resolution to my suffering. He was approachable, empathetic and thorough in his assessment of my needs. He advised the RefluxStop would be the best treatment for me, and so I placed all my trust in him to fit this device and to repair a large Hiatus Hernia. From day one after the operation the improvement in my condition has been astounding. I can now eat normally and lie flat in bed with no reflux problems. I can actually sleep for around 6 hours a night instead of the 1.5 - 2.5 hours I had grown used to and I no longer take 2 x 30mg Lanzoprazole and various antacids daily, all of which is amazing. I cannot recommend Paul Goldsmith and Spire Manchester staff highly enough. Paul is friendly, welcoming, professional and a first class surgeon who I immediately felt I could trust to help me. On the day of the surgery Paul, the anaesthetist and the ward team all put me at ease, and Paul even phoned my wife afterwards to let her know I was ok, which we thought was a very personal touch. The whole experience was second to none. Thank you Paul.

After nearly 9 years of having trouble with acid reflux and constant aching around my chest area. I finally decided to look for a specialist in this field and was told to contact Paul Goldsmith at the Spire Hospital Manchester through another doctor. Once I made an appointment with Paul regarding my symptoms he quickly came to a diagnoses. He then had me go through various tests to make sure it was has he expected. Once all the test's had been completed, I arranged another appointment with him and he went through all the findings with me. He explained the options to me and the fact that I had an Hiatus Hernia which was also causing the acid reflux problem. So within 3 weeks I had had my operation and I had also opted to have the lynx device fitted. After 4 weeks I had another follow up appointment with Paul which he explained what he wanted me to do post operation for the short term to aid quick recovery. I have found Paul to be very down to earth and also put your mind at rest because I would say he is one of the best in the country in his field. Hopefully I will see the back of this long lasting problem which I have had for a number of years for good thanks to Paul Goldsmith. If anyone is having problems I would highly recommend you give Paul a ring at the Spire Hospital Manchester.

Struggled with digestive issues for years. GP (eventually) referred to NHS consultant due to weight loss (2 week cancer pathway). Diagnosed with GERD . After waiting for more than 2 years to get basic testing prior surgery approval, decided to go private via RefuxUK. Contacted Paul Goldsmith who arranged tests. Paul was absolutely clear he would only operate when satisfied I would benefit from surgery. After several tests several issues were identified and I was eventually offered a new surgical procedure or an older one. I opted for the new procedure and have to say it has essentially given me my life back. Paul was not only highly professional but totally approachable and explained everything clearly. This guy knows his stuff, if you are under his care be assured you are in good hands with someone who really does care about your wellbeing.
