Mr Andrew Pickersgill

Written by a private patient at The Alexandra Hospital - part of Circle Health Group

I cannot recommend Mr Andrew Pickersgill enough. From the moment I met him for my first consultation, he was empathetic, listened with patience and kindness and showed genuine concern regarding my worsening case. He validated every one of my symptoms and explained the possible reasons, suspecting I had adenomyosis - which I had never heard of - and a scan later confirmed this to be the case. I was overjoyed to hear a full explanation, receive a diagnosis and learn that my symptoms were not normal, despite what I had been told over the years. Upon openly discussing my options, I decided to have a total hysterectomy and BSO. He is an expert surgeon and successfully carried out the procedure laparoscopically. During surgery, he also found advanced endometriosis and successfully excised this. I have recovered well, with limited pain and have been able to return to work after 5 weeks. Both before and after surgery, he was supportive, understanding and helpful. He has a very caring bedside manner and does not invalidate fears or feelings. He also supported me with post operative recommendations regarding HRT - which I was worried about due to a past health issue - yet so far, so good. I feel incredibly lucky to have been treated by Mr Pickersgill, have never felt better and am ever thankful to him for this new start in my life. I trust him completely and would not hesitate to recommend him.

Mr P recently operated on me. I came to see him from a different country. He is a brilliant doctor and I would highly recommend him. He is kind, caring and really helpful. I would travel from another continent to have him operate on me again - and indeed will be doing so again as I only trust him. I felt reassured by him at every stage of an agonising medical journey. I only wish he could be my doctor for everything! I am indebted to him for his help and compassion.

Couldnt recommend more highly. Dr Pickersgill was extremely professional, knowledgeable and put my mind at ease through everything. I had a number of procedures and he looked after me perfectly. I felt in very safe hands. I never felt any appointments were ever rush and he always allowed me the time to ask and many questions as I needed to! Thank you so much

I cannot recommend Andrew Pickersgill too highly . I underwent a (laparoscopic) total hysterectomy at the end of October 2022 after several , to put it mildly, miserable years. The level of understanding , consideration, care, and dignity afforded to me by Andrew and his team was exemplary along with his compassion and understanding. Andrew's top grade surgical skills meant that my recovery was swift , with little discomfort and without complication. I shall not forget him placing a reassuring hand on my shoulder just before I was given the general anaesthetic to check I was coping. Do not hesitate to gain the benefit of this surgeon's expertise. I should have done it years ago. I now have a new lease of life. I know that is an old and over used saying - but in my case it is very true.

Mr Pickersgill was very friendly and approachable and put me at ease straight away. I am an anxious person and was particularly worried about recurrent cancer but Mr Pickersgill reassurred me that he would do his best and help if any further investigations or treatment was needed. Luckily it wasn't but it was nice to know that there would be a plan in place. I had total confidence in my consultant and had no pain or repercussions after my procedure and would certainly contact him again if i had any further issues. I could not have wished for better care.
