Having been told that my condition required open surgery, I consulted Mr Imber for a second opinion. I am so glad I did. As a direct result of his surgical skills, experience and specialist expertise, the procedure was carried out by laparoscopic surgery. It was very successful and my recovery is much faster than I ever anticipated. Mr Imber’s bedside manner is superb. He explained everything very clearly, including the risks, and answered all my questions in a clear and comprehensive way. He has a high level of empathy,which alongside his undoubted medical expertise, was extremely valuable and reassuring at what was a very worrying and stressful time.

From my first consultation with Dr. Imber, I knew I was in safe hands. He was extremely personable, explained everything very clearly; and most importantly performed the surgery to remove my gallbladder perfectly. Top professional and could not recommend him, or the Cleveland Clinic highly enough.

Charles is a fantastic surgeon and made me feel at ease at all times. He was able to see me at very short notice and was able to answer all of my questions when we met. Charles removed my gallbladder via a laparoscopic procedure and I have recovered well post op. His secretary Sophie was always prompt and very efficient at getting back to me on email and helpful and getting everything arranged so swiftly.

Mr Charles Imber gave me the best chance at saving my life with pancreatic surgery for Cancer. He is excellent, friendly, professional and so down to earth. He is top of his field in pancreatic surgery and I felt very safe and reassured by him. He always had my best interest at heart and was willing to be on my team and push the boundaries of what was possible for me. I was told inoperable by other Doctors and through SABR treatment and Mr Imber he gave me a chance and removed it. Cannot thank him enough.
