Gallbladder Removal (cholecystectomy)
Charles Imber is extremely personable, has a great bedside manner, explained everything very clearly and was extremely efficient. I had my gall bladder removed by him with keyhole surgery. Went home the same day. Little pain. The wounds healed quickly and are now barely noticeable. As someone regularly performs 24 hour liver transplants, this no doubt was about as basic as it gets but I never got te impression that he treated my procedure with any less seriousness as he would something much more serious. I would highly recommend his and his team.

Mr. Charles Imber is an extremely professional Doctor and very knowledgeable in his field, who within the first meeting immediately put me at ease with the surgery I was going to have. He explained the entire process in detail covering all the pros and cons which instilled a great deal of confidence in me. The surgery was very well done and the procedure went on as Mr. Imber had outlined. The scar has healed beautifully and I have had no untoward issues with my recovery process. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Imber. Thank you Mr. Imber and your very able personal assistant. J.W.

Pancreatic tumour
Charles is unlike any other person I’ve ever met before, he is truly one of a kind. From the moment I received my diagnosis and was referred to Mr Imber, I felt immediately at ease, well informed and comforted by himself and his team. Mr Imber expertly performed a Whipple procedure, leaving an unbelievably minimal and neat scar for such a procedure. My friends and family simply can’t believe the quality and how well done it has been. Mr Imber visited every day in hospital to keep me informed and assured, answering every question and truly became part of the family throughout my weeks in hospital and aftercare. I feel truly blessed to have been lucky enough to have Mr Imber as my doctor/surgeon and will be forever greatful for his hard work, friendly nature and utter expertise. He has changed my life for the better and thanks to him I am speeding through recovery!
