Mr Charlsworth made me feel that I was in safe hands with him and his team and I had complete confidence that everything would go well. I knew exactly what to expect and I always felt that I was going to be well looked after. He kept in touch post-op with a vist and calls to me and my wife to check that all was ok and to keep us informed.

From my first meeting with Mr Charlesworth, I have felt well-informed regarding what my situation was, what needed to be done about it and how it would be done. I had complete confidence in him and had no concerns whatsoever about the procedure that he was to perform on me. I also appreciated the post-op chat we had the day after my procedure where he talked me through what he had done. He's a top man!
