Mr Monkhouse is a fantastic Doctor. He put me and my husband at ease the whole time I was under his care. I was taken into hospital through A&E as an emergency and stayed for 4 days, during this time Mr Monkhouse quickly arranged tests to find out what condition I had, made sure I was well enough to leave hospital then quickly arranged an operation within weeks to remove my gall bladder. Aged 51 I had never had an operation before but he reassured me immediately prior to the operation which went well. I then unexpectedly reacted badly to the general anesthetic but Mr Monkhouse returned to the hospital that night to make sure I was OK and monitored me via by phone via his wonderful team throughout the night. I went home 2 days later having been visited by Mr Monkhouse twice a day, during this stay he arranged several different scans/x-rays which reassured me that everything was ok. He then phoned me at home a few days later to check on my progress. Brilliant doctor, I couldn't have asked for more from the NHS. Mr Monkhouse is certainly an asset to East Surrey Hospital. Thank you.
