Mrs Craig gave me total confidence in her ability to conduct my bowel surgery. She explained things clearly, and in detail, both pre and post op. The surgery was a complete success although unexpected complications delayed both my discharge from hospital and subsequent recovery. Everything she said turned out to be correct and she answered all my questions fully and in detail.
Her nurses, led by Sister Tracey Purcell, are outstanding also. Along with Mrs Craig, they make a great team. They helped me enormously during a stressful period, with care and consideration, and always answered my calls promptly. They really helped to put me at ease. Both pre and post op they gave me great advice. I am now cancer free though will need several years of follow ups.
