Dr Hammond was extremely professional and gave me all the information required for me to make a decision to proceed with my operation of an abdominal wall repair for a complex hernia. A previous consultant made me feel very anxious and I refrained from having the operation for 3 years.
Pre and post care was excellent and the care I received whilst in Springfield hospital was exceptional.
I would recommend Dr Hammond and his care team.

I had laparoscopic surgery for my hernia performed by Mr Hammond, from the first consultation everything was explained clearly and I was confident on his diagnosis to go ahead with the procedure, a true gentleman with a great manner and I have nothing but praise for his surgical skills.

I had laparoscopic surgery for my hernia conducted by Mr. Hammond. Everything was explained clearly upfront so that I was able to make the right decision for the type of procedure. The surgery went very smooth and I was in and out of the hospital in less than 8 hours! Recovered completely with no pain in about two weeks. Thanks!

Profile
I am a consultant general & colorectal surgeon at Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford, Essex. I also work at Braintree Community Hospital and Ramsay Springfield Hospital.
I perform open & laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, diverticular disease and hernias. I have subspecialty interests in anal and pelvic floor pathology, and abdominal wall repair for complex hernias.
I graduated from Liverpool University Medical School in 1998 . I became a member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 2003, and a fellow in 2011. I was awarded my certificate for completion of surgical training in 2012. During this time I worked as a senior registrar at St Mark's Hospital, Harrow (a national and international referral centre for intestinal and colorectal disorders) and a laparoscopic colorectal fellowship at Colchester General Hospital.
Whilst training I undertook a 2 year period of full time research. I investigated the role of biomaterials in the management of parastomal hernias and anal fistulas. This culminated in a reasearch MD, awarded by the University of London, as well as the Colon & Rectal Disease Research Foundation Prize, by the Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain & Ireland (ACPGBI). I was also granted a travelling fellowship by the Coloproctology Section of the Royal Society of Medicine.
I continue to enjoy publishing and presenting on my research areas of interest. I have been invited to review articles for the Lancet, British Journal of Surgery, Colorectal Disease, Techniques in Coloproctology and The International Journal of Surgery. I have co-authored chapters on anal fistulas for the 6th edition of Rob & Smith's Operative Surgery: Surgery of the Colon, Rectum and Anus, and for Anus: Surgical Treatment and Pathology (edited by R Cohen and A Windsor).
