Mr James Kirkby-Bott

Written by a private patient at Nuffield Health Wessex Hospital

After having a child I started to experience crippling stomach pain which had me in A&E 3 times. I was diagnosed as having gallstones by the NHS and after experiencing the disabling pain, I decided to seek private help. Within 1 week of contacting Mr Kirkby-Botts team, I was booked in for my first consultation and potential surgery date. At my consultation everything was described with precision which really put my mind at ease prior to the surgery, all eventualities were ticked off and I was sent for an MRI to ensure I was diagnosed correctly and the stones were confined to my gallbladder and not the bile ducts also. This again aided my confidence in the surgery success. Just 3 weeks after contracting Mr Kirkby-Bott, my gallbladder was out and I’m completely pain and complication free! My scars are minimal and my recovery was shorter than anticipated. Very happy with my results and can’t thank him and his team enough!

Symptoms of a hyperparathyroid can be numerous and often (as in my case) present at different times, frequently being thought to be something else and were, for perhaps more than 16 years or more, in my case. Finally my GP Surgery referred me to Southampton General and, after a number of tests, hyperparathyroidism was finally confirmed. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic a prospective operation on the HNS was delayed with no indication of when it might be possible so I took the private route which led to my introduction to Mr Kirkby-Bott. How I wish I had been referred to him years ago! Without delay my surgery was arranged and he has an excellent team supporting him. From my first consultancy with him through my operation and post op meeting I have had every confidence that I was in safe hands.

I needed a total Thyroidectomy for a Multinodular Goitre that had grown quite big and was causing compression symptoms. I spent time looking for the right surgeon which was Mr Kirkybott and I can say I was not disappointed. It truly pays to have the right person for the job. For someone who has never had an operation before, I wanted to know I was in the right hands. His personal website and hospital profiles provided extensive information for pre and post care and on his credentials as a specialist with this area. On meeting him at the consultation and pre surgery he was able to explain everything to me in layman terms. I was also very impressed with him having access to nerve machine to reduce vocal cord impairment and also he mentioned adding something extra to support my scar healing. At this point I thinks it is also important to mention his secretary too Suzannah Vaill , as she was also outstanding throughout, answering queries and supporting me. She works hard and deserves a massive pat on the back. They make a great team . For me now it’s about recovering and adjusting to a lifetime of medication. However I am feeling positive and happy as already feeling benefits of the procedure, so thanks to the support and treatment I received.

I did a lot of research to find a specialist hernia surgeon, not just a general surgeon, to repair my bilateral inguinal hernias. I found Mr Kirkby-Bott from this website both he and his colleague, Suzannah, did provide great care. I couldn't be more pleased at the consultancy, surgery and post-surgical outcome.
