- My Wynn I found to be excellent in my diagnosis and correcting it in surgery. He is extremely cooperative and friendly, knowledgeable and easy to get on with.
- Everything went to plan and Mr Wynn did an excellent job. I would thoroughly recommend him.
- Hospitals are never the nicest of places but The Oaks has a feeling of calm about it. From reception to the wards it's quiet and relaxing. In his attitude Mr Wynn shows that air of confidence which also helps to relax patients, he's direct but explains what's wrong and what can be done to redress the problem. This extends to aftercare, both on the day of operation and the follow-up. Overall a not unpleasant experience despite the seriousness of the complaint.
- Mr Wynn was friendly and professional and took time to explain everything about the procedures I was about have. He answered all the questions I had which put my mind at ease. The whole experience was a pleasant one. Many thanks to the whole team.
- I have just had my follow up visit with Mr Wynn following recent bowel resection surgery and his care again left me feeling very reat assured that my recovery was going in the right direction I had years of pain and owe my thanks to Mr Wynn for finding the problem and sorting it with a very high level of care and compassion.
- Mr Wynn has been honest but calm and reassuring. Always felt restful knowing i was good hands in the operation.
- Mr Wynn was very clear talking about the surgery I needed and put me at ease. On the day, I was well looked after and the surgery went very smoothly with no complications.
- I was kept informed throughout the process and following the operation I was back up on my feet the same day. I experienced a little discomfort but very little pain and was back to normal within the timescale out lined.
- From my initial consultation, to the day of surgery and on to the post op consultation, Mr Greg Wynn has been absolutely marvellous. Explaining everything in detail and in a way I was able to understand. The staff at the Oaks Hospital are always polite and efficient.
