Reviews
Dr. Alexander Hotouras inducted my colonoscopy on the 29 of July. I just have compliments for him and his team. They made me feel easy and the colonoscopy went great. I did not feel any pain or major disconfort.
Thank you for your great work.
The moment we saw Dr Hotouras, we knew immediately we are in excellent pair of hands. His caring and diligent way of approach, explaining medical technical phrases in simple, and digestible language are hugely appreciated. We need more doctors like him for NHS please. Thank you very much again Dr Hotouras.
I was scheduled for an operation at the Whittington Hospital general surgery department. Administrative errors and Covid cancellations meant my operation was going to be heavily delayed. Mr Hotouras did everything he could to ensure I was seen as soon as possible and resolved these issues. On the day of the operation Mr Hotouras came to see me before to check everything was okay, answered any questions I had and provided reassurance about the procedure. After the operation he visited me in recovery and filled me in on the details of the procedure and provided all the necessary information regarding post-op care. At all times Mr Hotouras made me feel at ease, was incredibly polite and caring and ensured I was happy with everything that was happening. Whilst under the care of Mr Hotouras I was never left with any issues or unanswered questions. I am incredibly grateful for the care he provided, thank you!
Dr Alex saved my life with emergency bowel surgery on May 20th.
I was on life support for a while and am still recovering under Dr Alex care. He has been extremely supportive and available between appointments to discuss my treatment plan going forward. An excellent surgeon whom myself and my partner are very grateful to.
Mr Hotouras provided excellent care, and it felt very personalised. He was also very easy to access between appointments. Very thorough in his approach. He is an example to other doctors and surgeons.
