- My experience and treatment with Mr Old has been outstanding! He explained every step of my procedure thoroughly and gave me advice on which treatment plan was most appropriate for my case - as a young person he took my lifestyle into account and couldn't of been better! Amazing.
- Absolutely fantastic care, before and after. Very calm and reassuring. Couldn't have asked for a better Doctor/Surgeon. Thank you.
- From start to finish, treatment and care was great. From initial consultation to surgery, post-op information and follow-up.
- I saw Mr Old for an initial consultation in December having had a severe very painful episode of gall stones and he was able to successfully remove my gall bladder approximately 7 weeks later. I have 4 very neat scars from the keyhole surgery and had no issues
- All excellent. Mr Old was superb throughout. He explained things but allowed me to make decisions. Pre and postoperative consultations were informative and the operation itself went perfectly as far as I was concerned. I cannot recommend Mr Old highly enough
