I had been suffering with horrendous pain for some time and despite being seen by several other Consultants in London & Tunbridge Wells over the past 2 years or so, I was told there was nothing wrong. I was heavily bloated every day and in pain most days, which was affecting my quality of life. Being told I had nothing wrong made me feel it was probably all in my head. I knew it wasn't but when you're told so many times, "its nothing", you then start to think, "Mmm, maybe it is me ?" I tried to battle on and keep going until earlier this year in February, when the pain intensified, I was sweating, feeling nausea, weak and simply very unwell. I infact was in Spain for a few days break but had to return earlier due to feeling so very unwell. Upon my return I was referred by my GP to a Consultant in Tunbridge Wells. Despite clearly being so unwell and in pain, a couple of tests were undertaken and despite then being outside normal limits, I was once again told, "its nothing to worry about" and that was that. I felt alone, miserable and so desperately low. I just knew things weren't right and after another few months passing, still in so much pain I undertook research myself and came across Goldie Khera. An appointment was promptly made and upon meeting Goldie, I explained the background to him. He could see how much discomfort I was in and so desperate for help. He understood my worries and concerns and straight away identified that something was not right. He went through my medical history extremely carefully and actually LISTENED ! From this point forward, I felt I was in good hands and over the next few days etc I knew I was. Tests had been undertaken straight away and within a very short time, I was being booked in for gallbladder surgery. Goldie just knew something wasn't right and re-assured me all would be okay. His re-assurance, true professionalism and genuine kindness really did pay off. After all the suffering I had gone through over these last few years and being told there was nothing wrong, my gallbladder was removed. It had been identified as being severely poorly and something I feel had just got worse over the last few years. It was now out and only thankfully to Goldie ! I am now being referred to a liver specialist and whom, unlike most other consultants, Goldie has agreed to keep in touch and liaise with the liver specialist too. This chap is a "one off". He is not only an excellent surgeon, he is genuinely understanding and genuinely friendly. Quite simply, a true gent ! Moreover, a Consultant who is not "old school" at all. He actually listens and understands. He is respectful, knows his stuff and is someone who I will always be most grateful too. I thank Goldie for that.
