Mrs Craig changed my life for the better no question and no doubt. Her honesty, knowledge and professionalism put me at ease instantly and I trust her and her advice implicitly. I could not have been in safer hands which made my decision to have a Subtotal Colectomy in August 2022 an easy one. The surgery went well and the personal caring side of Mrs Craig straight after my surgery was truly heartwarming to myself personally and also to my husband. Unfortunately about 18 months later the disease had spread (something I was told could happen) but I had faith that Mrs Craig would know exactly what the best thing for me would be going forward. We decided to go ahead and have a Proctectomy which meant removing the anus and rectum and I can honestly say it’s the best decision I ever made ! The surgery went extremely well and I recovered quickly with no complications at all and once again the personal aftercare and advice from Mrs Craig was excellent. This woman thinks she’s just doing her job but she’s changing and saving lives everyday with care. I will forever be grateful and thankful to her. Truly an amazing person. Thank you.

Mrs Craig was an amazing surgeon and very personable. She made me feel very comfortable and completely at ease with what was an embarrassing issue. I had two anal skin tags removed which resulted from pregnancy. As a young, fit woman I always felt conscious about them. Mrs Craig found that they were attached to two internal haemorrhoids which she also removed during surgery. Although there was some pain post operatively, the result are well worth it!

Mrs Craig is really approachable and easy to talk to about the most intimate of health problems. She has a sense of humour to put you at ease and is direct and honest about how she can help. I was so happy to find a female consultant in this area, they are few and far between and not that easy to locate online. So, save yourself some time and effort and go straight to this wonderful lady!!

I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Mrs Craig. Her caring, down to earth response means that even the most intimate and embarrassing concerns can be expressed. She listens carefully and explains treatment options clearly. I feel confident that my problems will be dealt with effectively.
