Mr Simon Atkinson

Dr Atkinson was very detailed in asking questions and my history and explained everything very well.

It was superb. He was very professional, he listened to what I had to say, he explained things in a simple manner. He was quite reassuring also. All in all, I will recommend him to my family members and friends

Good explanation

Mr Atkinson clearly explained my procedure and addressed all of my concerns.

Mr Atkinson is an amazing surgeon, extremely skilled and compassionate. He has helped us enormously through a very difficult time. He is a true professional and I would strongly recommend him.

I am still to have the Hernia procedure December1st but felt vary assured with DR Atkinson on my consultation process thank you.

Mr Atkinson was very kind and considerate to me. I felt that my symptoms were thoroughly investigated and that the results and implications were very clearly explained to me. Mr Atkinson is very patient and humane and I consider my self very fortunate to benefits from his medical expertise.

A brilliant surgeon !

Mr Atkinson has been exemplary in looking after our daughter during what was an extremely difficult time for her along with her family. We are eternally grateful for all the time and effort that Mr Atkinson has put in, in looking after our daughter and her family. I would whole heartily recommend him and would again like to thank him for all the Professional effort he has put in to care for us. It is so very appreciated.

From the moment I met Mr Atkinson I had complete confidence in him and was happy to proceed with the operation recommended (to remove my gallbladder). He was able to explain very clearly why the procedure was necessary, how it would be conducted, what the slight risks were and what measures needed to be taken prior to surgery. The projected recovery times were very clear and necessary absence from work, post operation. Mr Atkinson then came to see me in my hospital room, just prior to the operation, to reiterate the proceed and answer any questions I had. I had occasion to contact Mr Atkinson's PA, too, between the initial consultation and after the operation and found her to be very helpful and efficient. This was my first ever surgery and general anaesthetic and the whole experience greatly exceeded my expectations. After the operation, and when conscious again, I felt alert immediately and was in no pain, although I have medication in case this situation changes. I am due to have a final consultation with Mr Atkinson in six weeks but he made it very clear that I am welcome to get in touch sooner if I have any concerns. I hope this will not be necessary but I would have no hesitation in calling to arrange a sooner appointment, if relevant. Mr Atkinson has provided a letter for my own GP, fully outlining the circumstances that lead to my recent surgery and advising follow up action to monitor my blood pressure, which was observed to be high when my symptoms were first diagnosed. All parts of this experience with Mr Atkinson have been positive, I have full confidence in him and would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

I felt very comfortable being looked after by Simon for my gall bladder surgery - the whole process from initial consultation and explanation, through the surgical procedure and the follow up consultation all went very smoothly and I could not have asked for a better level of service. I would have no hesitation in recommending Simon Atkinson in the highest terms.

My experience of Mr Atkinson is that he is an outstanding clinician and a deeply caring man. Throughout my treatment he has listened closely and attentively to my concerns. He has advised me carefully and thoughtfully - taking care to be realistic and open. I am fortunate that my treatment (including major surgery) has gone well. Mr Atkinson's skill as a surgeon has no doubt been an important factor in that outcome. I could not recommend him highly enough.

Great service
