Mr Simon Hobbs

I was fortunate enough to be operated on by Mr Hobbs who is a highly skilled surgeon and an extremely pleasant person also. I am a TOS patient (Thoracic Outlet Syndrome) which means that I had brachial plexus nerve and artery compression. I am currently 3 weeks post-surgery and am doing very well indeed. Despite having upper limb dysfunction which was extremely incapacitating for over 8 years and searching for a solution for all of that time (until I found Mr Hobbs via my physiotherapist); my prognosis is that I should have a complete and full recovery. I am absolutely thrilled and have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Mr Hobbs. My only hope is that other TOS patients will find their way to him and be helped in the same way. Any patient or professional reading this review should also know that I had a good deal of scarring that would have made the surgery not straightforward to say the least. I would also like to mention that the anesthetist he works with was similarly brilliant and knew the precise way to deal with surgery of this nature that included nerve blocks that delimited pain and discomfort. Thank you so much Mr Hobbs - you are truly a skilled and brilliant surgeon. Laila Lock

I knew my varicose veins needed attention, but kept putting off seeing someone about them. Eventually I plucked up courage to do something about them . After doing some research I chose to see Mr Hobbs. He was so reassuring, explaining everything thoroughly, and which type of treatment would benefit me. The procedure went without any problems, and very little discomfort. The nurses were lovely, and Mr Hobbs was explaining everything he was doing. There was music in the background, I felt really relaxed the whole time. I didn't need any painkillers at all and I walked quite a distance in the days following with no ill effect. My legs look so much better now and I'm so pleased I went ahead. I just wish I'd had them done sooner. Thank you Mr Hobbs, I wouldn't have any hesitation in recommending you.

Mr Simon Hobbs carried out a varicose vein procedure. He was very reassuring and provided me with good information and advice regarding my procedure. The procedure was completed very efficiently with minimum discomfort and aftercare was also very good.

In the last 3 months Mr Hobbs has done the varicose veins on both of my legs. I am a registered nurse and was well aware that I was not an ideal patient being over weight and having very impressive varicose veins since the birth of my first child 30 years previous. My memories of varicose vein surgery was very barbaric with limited results and high reoccurance. Mr Hobbs explained that he would tailor make the surgery for my needs and he was very confident I would get a good result. The procedure itself was uncomfortable but not painful, I was put very much at my ease by fabulous theatre staff who chatted away; I was even able to choose my own playlist whilst in theatre. The recovery has been great. I no longer have aching legs and they will never be beautiful put gosh they look years younger. Thank you to Mr Hobbs and everyone involved, I tested your skills and the results are amazing .

I had suffered for years with varicose veins but was too frightened to go but I finally plucked up the courage to see Mr Hobbs who was very reassuring.. I had the procedure done in March which took 1 hour. I can now wear shorts without having unsightly veins. My legs do not ache like they used to and I have stopped taking tablets for cramp because it is so minimal now. Really pleased should have done it sooner.
