I am very grateful to Nuffield Exeter for my hernia repair having put up with the discomfort for many years. Having tried to get help through the NHS on several occasions and for several years, I can’t believe how quickly the journey from contacting Nuffield and the actual operation went. The whole process went very smoothly. Mr Birchley was very sympathetic, the anaesthetist was efficient and friendly, the nurses were efficient, kind and jovial, the rest of the staff too. I wasn’t rushed and had a very comfortable room and was sent home with medication, advice and instructions and I felt I could ask questions at all stages. I very quickly recovered and am grateful for the care and treatment I received throughout.

Over 20 years ago I was told a varicose vein in the front of my right foot could not be treated. Over the years it worsened to the extent that earlier this year I my ankle was swollen, suffered cramps and unable to wear normal shoes. I was concerned that leg ulcers could develop and asked to see Mr Birchley for his assessment and advice. When he examined my leg he said I had 'unilateral varicose veins on the foot associated with swelling, discomfort, cramping at night and thread veins' and could be treated with foam sclerotherapy. A few months later the results are remarkable with all the previous problems eradicated and the improved appearance a huge bonus. From our first meeting to being signed off as job done Mr Birchley has been supportive and reassuring explaining the procedure thoroughly. Throughout my time with him he instilled confidence in what to expect. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mr Birchley, a highly professional consultant who I felt was on my side.

Mr Birchley listened patiently to my problem, conducted a thorough investigation and explained very carefully his diagnoses. Nothing was too much trouble and at no time did I feel rushed or uncomfortable. Would highly recommend.
