From the initial consultation, through the surgery itself and final post-surgery follow-up I found Toby to be a first class consultant with a friendly, calm and reassuring manner. He was informative at my initial consultation and provided a detailed and balanced perspective on my surgical option, including benefits and risks. My surgery went very well with no post-operative issues and my treatment plan concluded with another informative consultation. I would definitely recommend him.

Mr Hammond explained the procedure in detail and discussed options. The operation went as planned and at the follow up appointment I was able to tell him how pleased i was with the result.

Mr Hammond is a very personable person who provided me with care and assurance before and after carrying out my procedure. I had confidence in his work.

Excellent experience. Explained the options clearly and the pros / cons of each route. Good interpersonal skills as well, making the processes easily understood.
Made the whole experience enjoyable - to the extent an operation can be.
Would highly recommend.

Would highly recommend Mr Hammond. His care was first class and the surgery was a complete success.
Profile
I am a consultant general & colorectal surgeon at Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford, Essex. I also work at Braintree Community Hospital and Ramsay Springfield Hospital.
I perform open & laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, diverticular disease and hernias. I have subspecialty interests in anal and pelvic floor pathology, and abdominal wall repair for complex hernias.
I graduated from Liverpool University Medical School in 1998 . I became a member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 2003, and a fellow in 2011. I was awarded my certificate for completion of surgical training in 2012. During this time I worked as a senior registrar at St Mark's Hospital, Harrow (a national and international referral centre for intestinal and colorectal disorders) and a laparoscopic colorectal fellowship at Colchester General Hospital.
Whilst training I undertook a 2 year period of full time research. I investigated the role of biomaterials in the management of parastomal hernias and anal fistulas. This culminated in a reasearch MD, awarded by the University of London, as well as the Colon & Rectal Disease Research Foundation Prize, by the Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain & Ireland (ACPGBI). I was also granted a travelling fellowship by the Coloproctology Section of the Royal Society of Medicine.
I continue to enjoy publishing and presenting on my research areas of interest. I have been invited to review articles for the Lancet, British Journal of Surgery, Colorectal Disease, Techniques in Coloproctology and The International Journal of Surgery. I have co-authored chapters on anal fistulas for the 6th edition of Rob & Smith's Operative Surgery: Surgery of the Colon, Rectum and Anus, and for Anus: Surgical Treatment and Pathology (edited by R Cohen and A Windsor).
