In the world of consultants to me, Mr Monkhouse is a demi-god. It took a number of years before I plucked up the courage and sought help with my weight problem. From the onset of my treatment I was impressed not only by his manner but obvious passion towards his job. During my initial consultation Simon took time to explain carefully the different options open to me, ensuring I understood the pros and cons of each type of surgery. At no time did I feel rushed or pushed into making a decision and was able to ask questions. Throughout the waiting period he and his team were in regular contact with me ensuring that I was fully prepared by the day of the surgery. His calm and professional manner aligned any fears I might have had and so I was confident and prepared by the time I walked down the theatre. After the operation he visited twice a day and texted me during the first few weeks to ensure all was healing well. I was very surprised and impressed to see that he attends the monthly support group for his bariatric patients. During these meetings you could see the excellent rapport he had with all of his patients (including myself). His genuine interest in one’s progress is obviously important to him and he has made it clear that should I have any concerns that I could contact him at any time. I have no hesitation in stating that I trust him implicitly, and have been very grateful for the new future I now have ahead.
