Patient reviews Mr Michael Van den Bossche

This consultant offered me additional options I had not previously considered and took the time to answer all of my questions. I ended up accepting his suggestion rather than my own original considerations. Because of the expertise and time spent to explain everything to me.

I would whole-heartedly recommend Mr Van den Bossche to anyone seeking similar surgery. He is evidently a highly skilled and dedicated surgeon with his patient's care and well being paramount. He explained my proposed procedure clearly pre-op and was attentive in post-op recovery

From my first consultation with VDB everything was so efficiently and quickly organised that I didn’t quite believe it was happening! The surgeon was so helpful and completely understands my situation and requirements for surgery. I have 0 regrets!

Consultations and Operation ran smoothly. Zero discomfort during procedure and minimal side effects. Mr MvdB saw me shortly after op and updated me on how procedure had gone and i had follow up appointment within 2 weeks once biopsy results were returned.

The explanations provided by Mr Van den Bosshe following the diagnosis have been excellent, taking into account my age and longer term quality of life. He has made himself available to convey this to my wife for which we are both very grateful.
