Very approachable and professional. With his expertise in pituitary surgery I trust him implicitly. I had 50% of an adenoma resected in 2016. Unfortunately the remaining tumour is pressing on the brain stem, which excludes radiotherapy. This makes walking very difficult and has also affected my balance. At the moment we don't know how to proceed to remove the remaining tumour.

My first visit to see Mr Cudlip. He listened and explained very clearly the diagnosis and the scan images.

Mr Simon Cudlip is one of the loveliest doctors I have ever met. It was absolutely worth it to see him to get my concerning questions addressed regarding my brain aneurysm. He is extremely knowledgeable and empathetic. I found him to have a supportive and very calming, kind demeanour. He has a wonderful sense of humour and he made me feel at ease as soon as I met him. It was an appointment I had been dreading which was quickly transformed into a great experience and I only wish I had made it sooner. I left his rooms feeling reassured and informed. I would without any doubt continue with absolute confidence to receive treatment under Mr Cudlip's care.
