About

Mark is a Consultant General and Colorectal Surgeon based in Swansea. He specialises in general and colorectal surgery and  qualified in 1995 from The London Hospital Medical College. He was awarded a higher surgical degree from The University of London in 2005, looking into the role of insulin growth factors in the progression of colorectal cancer. He completed his specialist training in London, Wales and Manchester.

Mark was appointed as an NHS consultant in Swansea in 2007 and has undertaken private practice since 2008. In 2014, he became an Honorary Associate Professor at Swansea University.

Explanation

My initial consultation was relaxed and professional. Marks approach is comfortable and confident and he made time to discuss the options and other questions I had, which were mainly concerned with recovery time. The day I had my surgery I met with Mark before and post-op. I felt no pain at anytime. The incision is very neat and it has healed very quickly. I would point out that I am 56 years old and very fit due to cycling, hence my recovery time concern. I would recommend Mark to anyone, generally a 10/10 experience, although I didn't have much choice and I wasn't going to wait 2-3 years for the NHS

I worked with Mark whilst a trainee surgeon in Morriston and Singleton hospitals in Swansea. He was a brilliant trainer and excellent surgeon. He has a good bedside manner and is a skilled technician. I would recommend his opinion to patients seeking general and colorectal surgical opinion.
