This was my first visit to Mrs Craig's surgery. She immediately put me at my ease and the way she posed the questions made it very simple to explain why I was there. Following an examination, when the assisting nurse,l took great care to spare my blushes and was very kind, it was decided that I would need an further procedure. The reason for this was explained in a simple to understand way and I was given information sheets to take home. I was also given the opportunity to make an appointment with another dept. For a scan, so there was no waiting for post to arrive. The whole procedure was stress free and I feel very confident that I am in really good hands during this worrying time.

Mrs. Craig was reassuring during my visit with her, friendly and gets her points across in a clear way. Best of all she promised me that she would be the surgeon performing my upcoming operation on the 11th December, which was a great relief to me as I would not be comfortable with being operated on by a learner. I feel I am under about as good care as I could be with Mrs Craig as my consultant. Her hair can be a little bright though at times when you are just waking up in your hospital bed!

I love this lady soooooo much. Mrs Craig saved my life, I was one meal away from my bowel perforating and required emergency surgery to remove sections of my lower bowel ni had a Stoma Bag on for 4 months and had never heard of a Stoma prior to my 1st surgical admission. I cracked up totally and Mrs Craig took me under her wing. I had 2 further admissions with Mrs Craig to have Stoma removed and hernias removed from operation site. I can't thank her enough for all she has done for me. She truly is a credit to the NHS
