- I couldn’t recommend Prof Adam Frampton highly enough. He explained everything so clearly and made me feel completely reassured throughout. It was also incredibly thoughtful of him to call a couple of days after surgery to check how I was getting on. I’m so grateful for the excellent care I received — thank you!
- I cannot recommend Dr Adam Frampton highly enough. I found him through Bupa after looking for some of the best-reviewed hernia surgeons, and he certainly did not disappoint. From the outset, Dr Frampton was incredibly informative, helpful and responsive. He was able to see me quickly and, within just two weeks of the hernia being identified on my scan, the surgery had been completed. Throughout the whole process, communication was excellent and I always felt well informed and reassured.
- Adam was nothing short of exceptional - from initial consultation through to post-care, Adam went above and beyond to ensure that I was looked after, clear on what needed to happen next and questions answered. It's not often you find a surgeon who checks in personally during after-care (twice) to make sure that all was OK. Honestly I couldn't recommend Adam more highly - if you're looking for a practitioner look no further - you'll be in good hands, and all round just a lovely guy too. Huge than
- Professor Frampton has been great at looking after my care. The operation went very smoothly from my point of view. I think the work Professor Frampton does is wonderful. He kept my husband informed at all times during my hospitalisation. If I were unfortunate enough to need more treatment I would go back to Professor Frampton.
- Was very thorough with initial consultation and super pre and post op. Took the time to call my wife post op to advise her when to collect me and then followed up the following day to check on my state and progress.
- Excellent thought from first meeting through the operation and final meeting. Would certainly recommend Prof. Adam Brampton
- Aged 82 I wanted a highly experienced and skilled surgeon to remove my gallbladder. After research, I chose Professor Frampton, who clearly explained the procedure, risks, and expected outcomes. Despite complications caused by adhesions from previous surgery, he successfully removed my gallbladder using robotic keyhole surgery. My recovery was swift and uncomplicated. Throughout the process I felt fully informed, supported, and in capable hands and would not hesitate to recommend him.
