- Very good and caring doctor! I felt very lucky to be under his care. He really shows patience and understanding towards the patient and offers his best advice and expertise. I would recommend him to any lady because I know they will be treated with most care.
- The care and treatment I have received from Mr Von Widekind has always been of the highest standard. Mr Von Widekind always takes time to explain procedures and provide reassurance. He is an excellent surgeon and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
- I was referred to Mr Von Widekind following many years of extreme pain and bleeding. From the first appointment Mr Von Widekind was extremely professional, explaining in detail the scan results which confirmed endometriosis, adenomyosis and a cyst on my left ovary. I was given recommendations and options on treatment to think about and at my next appointment we decided that a subtotal hysterectomy would be the best option for me. On the day of the operation Mr Von Widekind was fantastic, he put me ease and again explained exactly what would happen during the surgery and answered all my questions. I am now three weeks post surgery and feel amazing. I cannot praise Mr Von Widekind and his team enough. I would highly recommend him to anybody, I am so happy that I was lucky enough to have Mr Von Widekind as my consultant!
- Mr Von Widekind is very approachable. He made me feel comfortable and confident about the hysterectomy taking time to explain everything thoroughly. My operation wasnt straightforward however Mr VW completed it with minimal cuts and scarring allowing quicker healing.
- Mr Von Wodekind is kind of a doctor that every woman should have throughout her life. I couldn’t recommend him more.
