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

I was referred to Thomas Satyadas from Bolton on the discovery of a tumor in my common bile duct . My initial fear and panic was allayed by Thomas after my first meeting with him , where he explained what was wrong , what we needed to do and how we would do it . Nothing was sugar coated but I was given and honest and human appraisal of what was wrong . from the very first time of seeing Thomas I had great confidence in him as a surgeon but even more so what an amazing caring person . He broke my treatment into bite sized tasks that needed to be completed , the first of which for me was getting liver drains fitted to allow my bile to drain and billirubin levels in my blood to drop , this became my focus thanks to Thomas's guidance . it is lot easier to deal with a few small problem than it is to deal with the massive task and this allowed me to cope , in addtion Thomas gave me his number to ensure i could contact him with any issues and this alone made a big difference , knowing that he was there . The surgery itself was 11 hours and a complete success and my recovery was quick thanks to the treatment i received. Straight after that mammoth surgery , Thomas came straight to my wife and parents to let them know how things went . Even once home Thomas continued to check u on me. if you have this man in your corner , then I believe you cant have anyone better I am alive today thanks to Thomas and his team , a team incidentally who think as much of him as I do . Nothing was ever sugar coated and all risks where made aware to me , yet I always felt confident in what was being done . Apart from being a highly respected surgeon he is also an incredible man , sorry if my review jumps about a bit it is difficult for me to speak about Thomas Satyadas without getting a little emotional . Brilliant surgeon and amazing human
