This was my first meeting with Mr Hewes, after a very anxious few months of awaiting a diagnosis. He put us completely at ease and was very engaged in our conversation. He explained everything in very good detail and made suggestions of what could be wrong and what to do next, whilst remaining very positive. I personally found him to be a very charming, confident and sympathetic man and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

I had a laparoscopic incisional hernia repair operation 3 months ago -20th Feb 14- and I am very pleased with the results. The consultations were very professional and reassuring.
This means that I can now lead a normal life without fear of injuriy everytime I laugh.
Overall I think that Mr Hewes is a great professional and a very caring man.
Thank you very much to him and his team.
