Didn’t see him got an appointment cancellation via a text the day before with no explanation and then got a new appointment booked for me with no consultation to see if this was suitable 15 days later which again was far too long a wait

I met Dr Brearley two times.It was good that we both were on the same page.He explained me very clearly everything and we both agreed not to remove my gallbladder.

I did get what I expected

I was in a quandary in the face of conflicting medical advice as to whether to proceed with a procedure to remove my gallbladder. Mr Brearley carefully viewed available medical evidence and clearly explained it to me. He gave me very clear guidance as to how I should proceed and certainly helped me to come to a conclusion. I will certainly return to see Mr Brearley should the occasion arise.

From my first meeting with Mr Brearley, he gave the impression of being very professional, thorough and knowledgeable. From our meeting in hospital, his bedside manner very reassuring and I felt happy to be under his care. Post procedure, he explained that all went well and I should not expect any complications, but if any concerns should arise, come and see him. Overall, I was extremely happy with being under his care. Highly recommended!
