Mr Chang's really has been amazing throughout my time in his care from entering hospital as an emergency case at St Helier through my first operation (Hartmans procedure) and my second operation to reverse this at Epsom his care has been exceptional and second to none. The same can be said for the after care I've received from his ward visits after my operation to see if I was ok and in all of our follow up consultations I have always felt listened to and never hurried or rushed and had everything clearly and patiently explained to me about my ongoing care.

I found Mr Tou Pin Chang to be an excellent consultant with a great bedside manner. He explained every procedure perfectly and put me at ease with what results to expect. I have no hesitation in recommending this man and he is a great ambassador for the National Health Service.

I feel honoured to have been successfully treated and cared for by Mr Chang. From the initial consultation confirming my tumour, he was positive and confident that he could treat my cancer, which gave me and my family great hope. He offered a clear plan of action, communicated clearly to me the risks and challenges, and was supportive throughout. His skills both in the initial surgery and a year later in reversing my ileostomy have amazed me - that I am able to more or less return to normal life with no tangible impact on my physicality is extraordinary and far beyond what I imagined as a result of surgery. After both surgeries during my hospitalisation, Mr Chang would visit frequently to check on my progress, often in the evenings (which I can only assume is after a day full of surgeries and consultations!). I felt very lucky to be looked after this well, that he would give so much of his time to his patients, and his gentle and positive manner reassured me no end during what were difficult early days post-operation. Mr Chang's professionalism, positivity and level of care is beyond what I could have hoped for going into this, and I cannot thank him and his team enough.

I write in praise of consultant surgeon Mr Tou Pin Chang.. Mr Chang performed a successful 7 hour Extended Right Hemicolectomy on me to remove a cancerous tumour at Epsom hospital on the 22nd November 2023.. I am in advanced age of 89.. Mr Chang was kindly , considerate ,informative and reassuring on giving me the unwanted news ..Subsequently he approached my operation in a calm manner , giving me confidence in his expertise..His postoperative aftercare was excellent.. At my follow up Epsom hospital on the 12th January 2024 he explained my results and future health checks going forward.. I can’t thank Mr Chang enough for the great care he gave me , and will always be truly grateful to him for giving me the benefit of his amazing surgery skills..
