I first saw Simon in his clinic for a Gastric Bypass. My husband still had concerns about the operation due to the risks associated with it. Simon managed to break down the operation into easy to understand language whilst also putting my husbands mind at rest. His greatest skill is to listen to the needs of the patient and I was never made to feel stupid whilst asking questions about the operation and the after care expected. Once in hospital he took the time to reaffirm my understanding of what the operation entailed and was there just before I went into theatre. His after care has been second to none, being the first onto the ward the following day to check I was ok. After discharge there was several follow up telephone calls to monitor my progress and offer support if required. In all a reassuring experience and I would recommend anyone who are given the opportunity to have Simon as their consultant.
