I cannot recommend, or indeed express my gratitude, highly enough with regards to the care that has been provided to me from Mr Simon Monkhouse. Having previously been subjected to severe medical negligence during a life threatening illness and surgery, and incompetence on many more than one occasion, whilst being at East Surrey Hospital, I was understandably very wary of being treated for such a serious illness, and further surgery, there again. However, the care I have received from Mr Monkhouse has been nothing short of OUTSTANDING. Mr Monkhouse was not only kind and caring, with the utmost professionalism, but he always made time to answer any questions I had, or to dissolve any worries, by ensuring I knew exactly what was going on and providing me with all the information I required to feel reassured. On the day of my operation, which thankfully was an extremely short wait from consultation, Mr Monkhouse greeted me as I went into Theatre, again reassuring me that it was him that would be doing my surgery. After, in recovery, it was him that visited me to update me on how things had gone, as apposed to a nurse. And then again he visited me on the ward the following morning to check on my progress. I can honestly say that I would have expected less from Private Care (and have had so!!). I really wish there were more doctors, working for the NHS, that could show and provide the exceptional care that has been provided to me by Mr Simon Monkhouse. I would like to say a truly heartfelt thank you, and I would also like to thank Mr Monkhouse’s secretary Ellie who also provided second to none support throughout my time as his patient.
