Mr Thomas Satyadas 2015-04-11 Person 5 5 0

Thomas is not only a great Surgeon , he is an amazing man . I was referred to Mr Satyadas from Bolton Hospital on the discovery of a tumor in my common bile duct . My initial thoughts and feeling of dread and my panic to get this thing cut out of me , where all stopped after talking for the first time with Thomas. He explained what was wrong and he outlined the way forward , but he focused my mind on completing 1 job at a time , the first thing was to get my bilirubin levels down , so drain where put in 2 points on my liver , Thomas made this my focus and this helped me deal with the massive problem in little bites . Thomas gave me his number and reassured me that if I I had any issues I could contact him . This alone made me feel i was being treated as a person . The surgery was a liver resection and while I was confident in Thomas , he never sugar coated the risks and different outcomes . after 11 hours of successful surgery , Thomas went to see my wife and my parents. Thomas came to see me every day in hospital even though it was the busy run up to christmas and he has family life of his own . Even once home after only 10 days , Thomas kept in touch to make sure my recovery was OK My review may seem a little disjointed , but it is difficult for me to talk or write about what Thomas Satydas did for me and my family without getting quite emotional . I am alive today thanks to Thomas and his team , a team by the way think as much of him as i do. This man cares and he knows his stuff - what more could you wabt from your surgeon
