Mr Thomas carried out laparoscopic surgery for me (age 71yrs) on 3 June 2021 at BMI Blackheath Hospital to repair bi lateral inguinal hernias, both of which were large and causing much discomfort. Nearly 4 weeks later I am recovering well.
Mr Thomas is an excellent surgeon and is highly experienced in hernia repair surgery. Before the operation he explained what would be involved and post operatively I am pleased to confirm all went according to plan.
I have no hesitation in recommending Mr Rhys Thomas as a surgeon for hernia repair.

Explained things in a non patronising way. Explained how the surgical procedure would be carried out. I would highly recommend his services.

Excellent service, nothing was too much trouble, took time to discuss with you the options available and the various outcomes. Extremely knowledgeable within his field, post operative care was good as were the follow ups. Would highly recommend his services.

Took the time to listen to my concerns and had a good understanding of my issue. Walked me through different options clearly, felt really comfortable throughout.
