  • Paul literally saved my life, I had two surgeries before I met Paul the 2nd was to rectify not being able to eat or drink anything. It was slightly successful, but left me struggling to swallow. Five years past, many surgeons didn’t know what to do and then I met Paul and the first thing he said was “lets take the wrap down” he done it and I’m 4 weeks post op and it’s genuinely the best I have ever felt. I can’t thank you enough, you have given me my life back!!

  • I saw Mr Goldsmith for repeat dilatation of a very narrow upper oesophageal stricture. From our first consultation he listened carefully and explained a clear plan. He was reassuring throughout, and easy to reach for follow-up consultations and questions by email when necessary. The procedures he carried out achieved excellent results, better than expected over the series of dilatations, and overall I’m very pleased I chose him. I would recommend him to anyone looking to resolve similar issues.

  • From initial consultation through tests and ultimately Gall Bladder surgery, my experience was excellent. Mr Goldsmith is extremely professional, explains the tests and procedures very well. My surgery has been very successful, in and out in a day minimal pain never needed more than paracetamol. I was back in work 3 days after surgery.

  • I cannot recommend Mr Paul Goldsmith highly enough. At 29, after years of reflux, PPI use, cough, sore throat, and poor sleep, I was hesitant about surgery. Choosing LINX surgery with Mr Goldsmith has been life-changing. Four weeks post-op, I have no reflux, can lie flat, and my cough ,sore throat have completely resolved. Recovery has been smooth, with only mild swallowing discomfort as expected. Mr Goldsmith is a true gentleman and exceptional surgeon, and fantastic care from start to finish.

  • I’m 25 and suffered with reflux for over four years. I never thought I’d be reflux-free, but thanks to Mr. Paul Goldsmith and his excellent team I am. Everything was clearly explained, the surgery went perfectly, and my recovery has been excellent. I’m genuinely grateful and would highly recommend them.

  • Mr Goldsmith gave me my social life back. I am currently 4 weeks into LINX surgery for my acid reflux and everything seems to have been fixed. No more LPR symptoms, no more burning or restless nights, no more swollen lungs or trouble breathing! Mr Goldsmith is a very friendly, approachable man and I would recommend him to anyone who is struggling with severe acid reflux. Before surgery I would avoid social situations with friends or family from fear of flare ups. Thank you Mr Goldsmith! 5/5!
