My first impression of Mr Cudlip was a very positive one. He was very kind, understanding, listening to my worries and concerns. All was explained to me quietly, re-assuringly and confidently. I was put at my ease immediately, feeling relief he was there to shoulder the pressure I was experiencing.
I underwent the operation for pituitary tumour removal performed by him and his colleagues with ongoing support from his endocrinology team throughout the past year.
Mr Cudlip is an expert in his field and I only have praise and admiration for him and all of his team.
My first appointment was at the GenesisCare Oxford then at the John Radcliff Hospital and Churchill Hospital. Their efficiency and care has been excellent.

Simon Cudlip gave me a full explanation of the surgery and post operative procedures and any fears that I had turned out to be unwarranted. The whole team were equally professional.

Mr Cudlip was extremely sensitive, professional and calm, explaining everything that would happen and making sure I understood each step. He also provided written notes which allowed me to read and digest both the operation and the recovery process afterwards. I never felt rushed when talking to him. On the day of the operation he saw me both before and after and was very reassuring - it was easy to trust him.
I would not hesitate to recommend him and I am extremely grateful to him for all he has done for me.
