I was more than pleased to find that Mr Simon Monkhouse held a private surgery at Gatwick Spires, as I had heard many great reviews and recommendations from people who he had helped. He is very understanding and explains the procedure in a language that is easy to understand. On the day of the surgery, I was seen by him and his Anaesthetist colleague who were so re assuring, professional and friendly. I cannot thank them enough, l am now free of pain and able to resume normal life again. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Simon Monkhouse and his team who were brilliant!

Very impressed with Simon Monkhouse. Efficient and understanding in his diagnosis of my medical problem, able to fit in to my preferred timescales for treatment, happy to respond to queries by email, and the end result has been perfect.

I cannot thank Mr Monkhouse and his team enough. From start to finish, I felt completely reassured and in safe hands. The surgery was a complete success with no complications, and the level of care I received throughout was outstanding. Mr Monkhouse is not only highly skilled but also genuinely kind and professional, which made a world of difference to my experience. I would highly recommend him and his team to anyone — they are truly exceptional.

I am very pleased with the total service received from Mr Monkhouse and his team. My Inguinal hernia repair operation was carried out at Spire Gatwick Park Hospital. I was rather anxious about the procedure, as I had never had an operation before in 65 years of age, but Mr Monkhouse and his administration staff completely reassured me of any fears. Thank you so much Mr Monkhouse for your kind and professional service.

I had a gastric bypass with Simon on 14/05/24, and it was the first surgery of my adult life, so I was extremely nervous. On the day of arriving for my surgery, Simon came to see me and explained exactly how the procedure would work, and talked me through any concerns that I had. He was extremely knowledgeable and kind, and really added a personal touch to the whole experience. My surgical scars are so neat and I cannot fault his expertise and ability in his field. Simon again came to see me after surgery and just checked in on how I was doing, and informed me of how the surgery went, and I genuinely appreciated this so much. The care and attention that I received whilst I was in hospital for 2 nights was faultless, and I genuinely cannot recommend Simon & his team enough. He keeps in touch after surgery, and is active on social media and likes to follow his patients journeys, which I find extremely refreshing and down-to-earth. Thank you so much to Simon, Molly & the entire team for all that you do, and have done for me. I owe you everything for giving me this new chance at life.

Simon is an fantastic surgeon who is highly skilled at his craft and executes with exceptional level of quality. Great bedside temperament, and listens. If you are looking for bariatric surgery look no further than Dr Monkhouse, you will not be disappointed. His support team are exceptional too. Great team that delivers, and believe me I don't usually give glowing references like this lightly. Thank you to the whole team.

My experience with Mr Monkhouse and his team has been exceptional. From the initial consultation for the Allurion balloon, Mr Monkhouse provided an holistic and personalised care approach. He used terminology which I fully understood and managed my expectations allowing me to make an informed decision without any pressure. On the lead up to insertion all the instructions and medications were delivered to my house promptly and it was very clear when to start taking each of the medications and what they were for. The procedure itself was straightforward and without any complications. Mr Monkhouse went over the aftercare with me and what I could expect over the next coming days. My experience under Mr Monkhouse’s care has been excellent from start to post Allurion balloon and I highly recommend him and his team. The Supportive aftercare has been exemplary, I had a few questions/issues that I emailed him about and I Each time I had very timely responses with reassuring and helpful answers and solutions. Contact and availability is a definite 10/10. The care I have received has been well above and beyond my expectations, without a doubt I wouldn’t have had such great results from the Allurion balloon program if I hadn’t have been in such fantastic care I have received from Mr Monkhouse. I am truly forever grateful to him, he has changed my life.

I would highly recommend Mr Monkhouse, he is very trustworthy, approachable and friendly. Nothing is too much trouble for him, from the moment I met him (before surgery) to all the excellent aftercare, I really am grateful for everything he has done for me. Not only did he explain everything that was going on, he was very reassuring, understanding and I felt in safe hands. I can not praise Mr Monkhouse enough, especially because he saved my life, which I will always be thankful for. Thank you so much, you are a fantastic Consultant and a brilliant Surgeon. I am so grateful to you.
