Mr Mcevoy is truly an amazing consultant and amazing human being. There are simply not enough words to describe him. He was brilliant from the first consultation and I knew immediately he would help me. He has an air of understanding and is very humble and easy to talk to. He listens and does not make you feel silly for any questions you may ask. His knowledge and wealth of experience really puts your mind at rest. He is a superb surgeon. I had a brain tumour removed from my third ventricle via a craniotomy in July 2018. At least it was to gain a biopsy, at most to remove the whole tumour. He managed to remove the whole tumour which was challenging due to blood vessels adjacent to the tumour. It has now been 5 months since the surgery and am thankful and grateful to say I have no neurological deficits and have had no post op complications. I will forever be indebted to Mr Mcevoy and will remember him for the rest of my life as the person who saved my life. If you are reading this from the perspective of finding an amazing, helpful, lovely neurosurgeon then you should look no more.

There is no specific word to describe Mr Andrew McEvoy. He is an amazing doctor with real talent. What makes me describe him like this is because I live far from London yet took me as one of his patients for epilepsy surgery seeing as my local hospital wouldn't. As he knew I travel quite a distance to London, I felt like I was listened to and that he understood how I felt. When I asked questions, he gave me great in depth answers/explanations rather than brief. He told me facts and figures of what the outcome could be like after this operation so nothing would take me by surprise. I can see in myself a few changes have occurred but this hasn't upset me already knowing this could happen. Nothing major but I can see in myself my memory has declined a little bit (especially having to remember information off by heart) and that I pause mid-sentence due to not finding the correct word in what I want to say but aside from that, no other concerns. As I've only been to this hospital a few times, I cannot give any suggestions on how to improve but I will always be grateful for what Mr McEvoy has done. My life has been completely changed for the better all thanks to him!

Fantastic surgeon. Words cannot express how happy I am to have met Mr McEvoy. Just over a year ago our world came crashing down around us as a tumour was found on the right temporal lobe. One year post surgery and my husband and I are still in awe of Mr McEvoy and his work. His kind voice, mannerisms and information he gave us pre operation gave us complete confidence that he was definitely the man for the job. I thank him profusely for saving my life and biding me more time to bring up my beautiful boys.

Dr Andrew Mcevoy is my hero. He performed epilepsy surgery on my when I was younger and my quality of life has improved ten fold. He is outstanding at what he does!

Mr McEvoy inspires confidence. He said he hoped to remove 100% of my tumour, and he succeeded. Generally a good listener with a kind manner.
