Explanation

I was very pleased when I met Mr Alex Swanton for the first time (before I booked my surgery). A professional who at the same time is such a decent gentleman, soft spoken, knowledgeable and extremely polite , as soon as I walked into his room I had positive and comfortable feelings , He gave me the confidence to proceed with my surgery. We spoke a couple of times before the surgery, standard procedure explaining what was going to happen as I have a couple of other health issues and both times my mind was at rest that I’m in good hands. On the morning of my surgery he came to see me and reassured me that it was a simple procedure and I would be fine. Later that morning I was welcomed with a big smile as I entered the operation theatre and not even for one second did I feel nervous or scared. I am extremely happy with the surgery performed. Excellent results. I recently visited Mr Swanton for my check up after surgery and again I was welcomed with a very pleasant Mr Swanton,. The after care was just as professional as was the very first appointment. Mr Swanton is an exceptionally good doctor/ surgeon.

I recently had the privilege of being under the care of Mr Swanton for the second time, separated by a remarkable 12-year gap. My experiences with Mr Swanton have been nothing short of outstanding, and I am compelled to share my gratitude. Their ability to diagnose and treat complex medical conditions is truly commendable. Whether it was 12 years ago or during my recent visit, Mr Swanton remains at the forefront of their field. During both encounters, they took the time to listen attentively, address my concerns, and provide reassurance. Their compassion made a significant impact on my well-being. In summary, Mr Swanton is not just a consultant; they are a beacon of excellence. Their dedication to patient well-being transcends time, and I am grateful for their unwavering commitment to healthcare. Thank you, Mr Swanton, for making a positive impact on my health journey. I wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone seeking exceptional medical care.

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.
