Mr Robert Redfern

Outstanding freindly helpful by him all the team and all who works on the ward even the people giving tea and food and people who were cleaning wards it's all a team effort thank you all.

I can only comment on his character and manor in the meeting I had with him, he was not my treating consultant thankfully. I found his communication with me to be rude and that he was not listening to me. I was repeatedly told I was obese and that was my only issue. I was made to feel uncomfortable and embarrassed for the whole 2 hours I spent with him which could have been 30mins if he had been able to use his computer. He repeatedly got details wrong about me, quoting things from other people's cases and then when I corrected him he just carried on regardless without acknowledgement of the fact he was talking about the wrong person! Considering I was a private patient who'd paid a considerable amount of money to see him I was subjected to body shaming from start to finish. I left upset and feeling worse about things. What sort of a world is it if your made to feel like this by a doctor?... I'd gone for help and been treated like dirt.

Thank you Mr Redfern , I belive if I had not had you as my consultant I would be in a wheel chair now. you truly are a great surgen . thanks again. mr redfern.

Couldn't thank Dr Redfern enough for giving me my life back. As an emergency case 12 weeks weeks ago he really listened to me and explained everything so I didn't feel the need to question his judgement. He gave me a new lease of life where I can walk again without being in crippling pain. I really can thank him enough for making me feel human again. I would highly recommend him and would openly say his abaililties are just remarkable. A doctor I would 100%put my trust in.

Dr Redfern done a op on my partners back he was very good from the time we first meet him to the last time I spoke to him after my partners op. He was not up his own ads and made time to listen and explain everything to us. I would personally like to thank him and Ann for everything they did for my partner. Thank you both.

Amazing doctor very friendly. Him and Ann have been wonderful. Can't thank them enough.

My hero. Mr Redfern saved my life back in 2006. Such a knowledgeable guy, he had time to listen to my thoughts and happily took on board opinions about my neurological/psychological condition from other healthcare professionals. He is the best person for this job. He is the person that you/your family want to look after you. He's also gone international, too. Paid for himself to travel to Vietnam and spent his time educating the doctors over there. He undoubtedly has neither the time or inclination to read these sites, but incase he does, I say this : Mr Redfern - Thank you for everything. PS, I was the one trying to skim a free Mars Bar.

I have seen Redfern just once, so perhaps he was having an off day, but given the nature of his personality I suspect not. Whereas I am not in a position to assess his medical proficiency, I can comment on his manner. I thought the days of consultants acting as if they were god-like were gone, but this dinosaur is still not extinct. He was arrogant, rude (to me, my wife and his nursing colleagues), confrontational, disrespectful and failed to treat his patient with dignity. He reacted aggressively to any questions asked, clearly believing it was beneath him to be questioned or just could not be bothered to take the time with me. I was left feeling uniformed about my case, my options, and I felt my dignity and worth were assaulted by this completely unpleasant man. Why he should feel so superior to his patients and colleagues is beyond me. He may have medical qualifications and experience, but he needs retraining to be a pleasant, respectful and dignifying human being. When I reported him to his superiors I got the feeling mine was not the first complaint about him. Come on Redfern, treat people with dignity and respect, and drop the arrogance and superiority complex. From what I have seen it is really misplaced and you are nothing special to write home about. You are a human being like the rest of us. Good and bad.
