After being told by 2 Consultants on the NHS and several Dr's through GP/111 visits we have almost given up on the hope of a hernia repair for my father. He had a huge right inguinal hernia, which he had lived with for over 30 years. In the last year, the hernia had grown significantly to the point where in the last few months, my father was unable to go for walks or carry out his normal daily routine due to the symptomatic nature of hernia progression. The last visit to a Dr on a 111 Hub visit where we were told that the hernia would continue to progress until sepsis and breakage...we decided enough was enough. I spent days reading published papers on hernia repairs of this nature, and it was clear the risk of such an big repair operation was largely reduced if it was pre-planned with the correctly skilled Surgeon carrying out procedure. So off I went to seek a Specialist who could help my father. I called many Hernia specialist centers in the UK, until a relative advised me to speak to Spire as they had heard of complicated hernia repairs being carried out there. Upon speaking with Spire, I was advised that given our journey we would be best to seek the help of Professor Lloyd. So we did! From the point of meeting with Professor Lloyd in Consultation, to day of procedure, release and outpatient visit, we have honestly had the best care. His can-do attitude is so refreshing and he has gifted my father with time to live his life normally once again. The procedure was successful and recovery has gone well. Professor Lloyd is not only very knowledgeable in what he does, and he really does undertake the oath of care in from compassion to positive action. He honestly has been our hero and we would highly recommend anyone who is any situation where someone said they can't, to go see Professor Lloyd! I would also like to give our kindest acknowledgment to the staff at Spire; where everyone matters, patient or a friend/family they are very kind and caring to all. Thank you team Spire, and thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Professor Lloyd,
