I have recently undergone a complicated private Incisional Hernia Repair operation under general anaesthetic at the Spire Hospital in Southampton. My surgeon was Mr James Kirkby-Bott and the procedure was booked through the Hampshire Hernia Clinic. I found Mr Kirkby-Bott to be a very pleasant and caring individual, who was professional at all times and actually listened to you. My treatment was first class from start to finish and I am now well on the road to full recovery. I took the route of a private operation, as I am the full-time carer for my wife, who is on end of life care and I needed to get back to full health, as fast as possible, to continue caring for her while she is still here. Under the NHS, I was told I would have to wait at least two to four years for this operation. I am very pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend Mr Kirkby-Bott to anyone seeking a trusted medical professional, who's skill, care and dedication are second to none. He is a credit to the medical profession and we are lucky to have competant individuals like him.

Mr Kirkby-Bott diagnosed my thyroiditis (with a multi-nodular goitre) initially back in June 2020 during the first lockdown. He was very calm, listened to my questions and suggested a partial left thyroidectomy, to help resolve my constrictive/pressure symptoms around my throat and neck. I decided to have it done six weeks ago and I feel so much better. He said that the remaining right side of the thyroid would cope on its own and my recent thyroid functioning blood tests are normal, which I am so pleased about. The nursing team with Mr Kirkby-Bott and the admin staff at The Spire were very professional and caring throughout my stay there. I was even able to eat a tuna sandwich and crisps two hours after my operation! I have a slight pulling sensation when I swallow, but as I continue to do my daily neck exercises and neck massage, this will gradually improve too. I would definitely recommend Mr Kirkby-Bott and his team.

I was so impressed with Dr Kirkby-Bott who performed a hernia operation on me about 2 years ago using local anaesthetic. He was very polite, professional and caring. He performed the operation very quickly and efficiently and everything went smoothly. I do not like doctors or hospitals but he made me feel very at ease. I now have a hernia on the other side that needs another operation and I refuse to be treated by any other surgeon. I am lucky and thankful that he will be performing the second one on me so I am not as worried as I was for the first one. I cannot recommend him enough.
