Firstly please except our apologies. This review should have been submitted 2 1/2 years ago! On Boxing Day 2012 our mum collapsed and was taken to the JR and was diagnosed with a brain tumour. The consultant who we saw wanted to refer the case to Mr Kerr as in his opinion he was the only surgeon with the experience to take on the operation, however, the problem was that Mr Kerr was away in Scotland for New Year and it was proving difficult to get hold of him. The original surgeon managed to get hold of Mr Kerr and upon hearing about the case did not hesitate to come back down from Scotland and do the operation on New Years Eve. After an operation that lasted approximately 9 hours Mr Kerr emerged from the operation and met with us and said that he had removed the majority of a golf ball sized tumour and he had never seen anything like it before but was pleased with the way the operation went. Mr Kerr, even though he had been in surgery for 9 hours took the time to answer any questions we had and put our minds at ease. 2 1/2 years later I am pleased to say our mum has made a full recovery and we have Mr Kerr to thank. He truly is a gifted surgeon. Thank you so very much. The Linnington family.
