Explanation

I recently had surgery performed by Dr. Leather. Dr. Leather was warm and reassuring during the consultation, which made me feel comfortable and confident about the procedure. On the day of the surgery, Dr. Leather and his team were highly professional, attentive, and informative. The procedure was executed flawlessly, and Dr. Leather's post-operative care was equally impressive. He was available to answer all of my questions, and his regular follow-ups ensured that my recovery was progressing smoothly. What impressed me most about Dr. Leather was his kindness and empathy towards his patients. He treated me with respect and concern, and his bedside manner was exceptional. He genuinely cared about my well-being, both physically and emotionally, and made sure that I felt comfortable and cared for throughout the entire process. In summary, I highly recommend Dr. Leather for anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate surgeon who provides exceptional care and makes the entire experience as comfortable and reassuring as possible.

First consultation I met Mr Leather he was very understanding and explained my options and what was best for my outcome. Struggling with fibroids. I am so grateful to have such a wonderful consultation I can't thank him enough. Writing this after my surgery all is going to plan in my recovery. He certainly made me feel better in myself more confident too. Kind Regards Alison S
