Reviews
Mr Birchley explained clearly how my hernia repair would be carried out, during our first meeting. Subsequently he carried out a bilateral laparoscopic (keyhole) inguinal hernia repair, at the Nuffield, Exeter, which went well. Healing and recovery went as he described, and I saw him again 6 weeks later for a follow-up consultation, at which he declared me fully recovered.
I found him easy to get on with, and I was very pleased with the whole process.
I cannot speak highly enough of Mr Birchley. He performed a first class procedure on me from which I recovered well and quickly. His consultations before and after were polite and professional. An excellent surgeon.
5* service from start to finish from mr David Birchley & the team @ Nuffield EXeter
I felt at ease with Dr. Birchley throughout my consultations with him. He explained in detail my problems and what he would be able to do to make my condition much better by having surgery for the relief of my hernia. I appreciated how he informed me of the benefits of having surgery and what the prognosis would be. I found Mr. Birchley and his staff very easy to talk to and also very reassuring. I did have to see Mr..Birchley three weeks after surgery as I was concerned about swelling below the scar. An appointment was quickly arranged and Mr.Birchley fully explained that this was a seroma and that it would probably disperse naturally. His explanation allayed my concerns and he offered to see me in the future if I had any further concerns. As Mr.Birchley explained, the fluid causing the swelling would dissipate naturally over time and this is proving to be the case.
This is my second experience of treatment and care in Exeter Nuffield Hospital and I would highly recommend the Consultants and staff.
David made me feel comfortable from our first meeting. He listen to my concerns and talked me through the process.
Throughout my treatment he was friendly and polite and always respectful. He has done a great job of removing the thread veins around my knees. I would highly recommend him.
