- I have recently had Whipple procedure operation carried out by Mr Imber and his excellent team, it was completely successful ,and I am now making a speedy recovery. I can't thank him enough for seeing me through this whole episode. I would highly recommend him and his associates
- Excellent treatment for double inguinal hernia. Faster and less painful recovery than I had been expecting.
- Had a potentially difficult Gall Bladder removed (difficult due to infection and previous operations} Charles was the ultimate professional and the operation could not have gone better
- Mr Imber was genuinely warm and friendly. He offered plenty of opportunities for questions, and was patient, clear and checked my understanding throughout. Mr Imber immediately put me at ease, and I felt completely confident in his ability to care for me.
- Simply to say, thankyou and your team for saving me. Cheryl x
