Explanation

Mr Swanton was very efficient and I felt reassured by his knowledge and approach. He was always very responsive and it was easy to make contact through his secretary Emma. I am very happy with the treatment I received and would recommend him without hesitation. I did feel a bit unaware of what the recovery process and time in hospital expectation would be but when I asked for more information this was provided. I had an open myomectomy and I am already feeling the benefit of it, my 1st period was significantly lighter than before surgery. I just wish I had it done sooner!

I believe i made my choices independently. I did not feel pressured or rushed to decide what I wanted or felt needed to be done. Overall experience was very positive and am glad I had the procedure under Mr Swanton. He explained everything pros and cons and was fully informed. I was pleasantly surprised at the attention to detail even including my personal life and nothing to do with the surgery.

Explanation

I am so grateful that I was referred to Mr Swanton for my fibroid problem. He was very supportive and clearly explained my options during our discussions and patiently answered all of our many questions. Having not had major surgery before, I was naturally anxious, but Mr Swanton was so kind and reassuring, I knew this was the right choice. I saw Mr Swanton not only on the day of surgery, but on each of the subsequent days I remained in hospital and felt very supported by him then and during the after care appointments. Emma, Mr Swanton's PA, was a joy to deal with. She was super efficient and very kind and helpful in her communications with me.
