I had a consultation with Dr Woodland regarding a painful acute case of gallstones. I found him to be extremely knowledgable and reassuring. I was concerned about having another flare-up, as I travel a lot for work, so he helped expedite the necessary arrangements for my surgery. Overall, this was an excellent experience and I would recommend this practitioner without hesitation.

I have shared patients with Philip in the areas of reflux and swallowing problems. Philip is an extremely bright and engaging consultant with a stellar training behind him. The patients I have referred to him tell me they really loved the way he made them feel relaxed, listened carefully to their needs and explained everything in ways they can understand. He has helped me resolve some quite complex problems and I will regularly refer to him in future. Outstanding.
