Mr Keeling I found to be caring and empathetic in his manner. His medical skill and knowledge are extremely reassuring as a patient. He will go above and beyond to ensure you are cared for. Thank you

My experience of the hospital ward staff, the theatre staff and the after care was very good. The post op care from Mr Keeling in particular was excellent as he responded to email queries I had very promptly. I found my surgery was quite debilitating in the first 2 - 3 weeks, and although I did my own research and reading up on what to expect post - op, there was some very useful advice and tips online which could be included in your post leaflet advice.

M. Keeling explained clearly the procedure and answered all my questions. He was professional, kind, and caring. He and his team made me feel at ease at all times and I was completely reassured after my follow-up appointment.

Mr Keeling is a true gentleman, he explains everything in layman's terms and makes you feel at ease with his kind gentle approach when explaining procedures to you. He also have a dry sense of humour which puts you at ease.
