By car, the A2 and M2 provide direct routes, with parking available at Castle Street and Castle Row, situated next door and across the road. Additionally, there are three park and ride services nearby. eXroid offers a nationwide service, with conveniently located clinics covering significant UK cities and counties, including Glasgow, Manchester, Liverpool, London, Kent, Ipswich, Cardiff, Leeds and Nottingham. The team of experienced specialists has transformed the lives of thousands of haemorrhoid sufferers through revolutionary, minimally invasive treatment, which many patients describe as “life-changing.” With outstanding patient feedback on platforms like Trustpilot, they are proud of the impact their care has on improving quality of life. eXroid understand that talking about haemorrhoids can be a sensitive matter. That’s why the experienced haemorrhoid advisors are there to guide patients every step of the way, ensuring you feel comfortable and supported. At eXroid, access is provided to some of the UK’s leading colorectal specialists who are dedicated to your care and treatment. The clinical service has been rated “Outstanding” by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) demonstrating high standards of care. Headquartered in Discovery Park, Kent - one of the UK’s premier medical innovation centres - they take research and development seriously, ensuring their equipment and methods are at the forefront of healthcare. Their eXroid electrotherapy treatment has been evaluated by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), receiving guidelines (IPG525 and MIB201) that accredit it as a safe and effective solution for haemorrhoids. eXroid is also a CE and ISO 13485 accredited medical device manufacturer, with all equipment developed in the UK.

Consultant colorectal surgeon Mr Paul Mackey shares: “I have now had the opportunity to treat over 100 patients suffering with haemorrhoids using the eXroid electrotherapy treatment. Admittedly, I was somewhat sceptical as to what could realistically be achieved by such a relatively straightforward and practically painless treatment, but the feedback from patients has been absolutely amazing. We are not far from eXroid becoming universally the first-line treatment for haemorrhoids, and banishing such ineffective treatments as banding to history.” Transparent Pricing eXroid strives to provide a service that is accessible, straightforward, and effective.

A surgeon performs surgical procedures on the digestive system, including the gastrointestinal tract, the hepato-bilio-pancreatic system and endocrine glands. They also operate on conditions of the breast, abdominal wall, hernias and, in some cases, the head and neck, treating both benign and oncological problems.
You are usually referred to a surgeon when a digestive condition, a hernia, a gallbladder or thyroid problem, or a cancer diagnosis requires surgical assessment. The aim is to review the case and propose the best treatment option.
It is advisable to see a surgeon when surgery is being considered for bowel incontinence, acid reflux, obesity or hernias, as well as for findings such as liver cysts, gallstones, thyroid nodules or cancers of the digestive tract or breast that may need an operation.
Surgery is one of the most common reasons people in the UK see a specialist: the NHS in England carries out more than 4.4 million procedures a year (Royal College of Surgeons of England, 2025), and around 6 in 10 people will need at least one operation in their lifetime (Abbott et al., 2024).
With NHS waiting lists still well above pre-pandemic levels (British Medical Association, 2026), booking a consultation early can help. If pain, a lump or a long-standing issue such as a hernia or gallstones is affecting your sleep, work or daily activities, a surgeon can review your case, talk through the options and plan next steps with you.
A surgeon has comprehensive surgical training covering the abdomen, breast and endocrine system. They work with both conventional and minimally invasive techniques such as laparoscopy, which allows faster recovery and smaller scars in many procedures.
People of all ages: patients with hernias, gallbladder problems, reflux, obesity, thyroid or breast conditions, as well as those with digestive cancer diagnoses who require surgical assessment or follow-up.
It is helpful to bring previous medical reports, recent imaging tests (ultrasound scans, CT, MRI), blood test results and a list of regular medications, including any anticoagulants. It is also useful to note down your symptoms and when they started.
