- Very happy with consultation and booking experience.
- Thoroughly expert in his field and obviously expert about keeping patients well informed and at ease
- Professor Bloom not only knows his stuff (his intuitive diagnosis at out first meeting was reinforced by subsequent diagnostics) but also took the time to explain everything and has a very personable bedside manner. He also benefits from a charming and very efficient PA, Orsi.
- Excellent service from Professor Stuart Bloom and Orsi Baranya. Very kind and supportive attention at all times. Cannot fault them.
- DR BLOOM COULD HELP ME TO THREAD MY GASTRIC DISORDER BUT UNFORTUNATELY HI DIDN'T , I WASTED MY TIME AND MONEY WITH HIM , HE JUST CHANGED MY MEDICINE , OMEPRAZOLE TO LANSOPRAZOLE , I'M STILL HAVE SAME PROBLEM AND NOW GETTING WORSE , I'M GOING TO FIND ANOTHER GASTROLOGIST. DANIEL CROSSDoctor's response -Dear Mr CrossI am sorry to read your review. You told me your symptoms were under reasonable control on medication when I last saw you. We both agreed that if your symptoms persisted you should be referred for bariatric surgery but you told me this was in hand and that you were being referred for bariatric surgery. You have not been in touch with me to arrange a further appointment and have not said that you have persisting symptoms. I wish you the best of health in the future.
