Gave me the facts whilst being reassuring. Excellent results from her surgeries and no complications. Her care felt very personal and above any expectations I arrived with. I could not recommend her highly enough, anyone in her care can count themselves very lucky.

I cannot put into words how grateful my family and I are for the treatment and care given to me during and after surgery. The staff from cleaners thru to the consultants were excellent. Thank you Best regards Alexander Bennett

Mrs Craig is a very special surgeon. She operated laparoscopically(keyhole) on me in 2016 at short notice and has dealt with me and my family in a frank and friendly way. One of her team described her to me as the best and I think that description is accurate. She also rang my wife having just finished my operation. I must also mention her support team at Trafford, especially the colorectal nurses Tracey and Yvonne. You couldn’t be in better hands. P

When you are seen by Mrs Craig it is as though you are friends as she is very cheerful and is always happy to see you. She is also a very good surgeon and I feel that she has saved my life with her quick diagnosis and treatment given to me. Mrs Craig also sends letters with her findings which is a great help to patients as it saves a lot of worries waiting for results of tests etc. I would recommend Mrs Craig and her specialist nurse Tracy Purcell to any patient needing treatment.
