Reviews
I would recommend this Vascular Surgeon to anyone who has a problem with vain’s or DVT. He has excellent skills in finding the problems and giving the information to the patient on the procedures to be followed.
This was the second time I had sat by my phone at work on the pre-specified land line as I work in an area of very poor mobile coverage. Aware of the importance of the call I had left message the day before 1st apt at hospital to confirm landline. 2nd apt I sent text few days before to ensure landline was used. Both occasions I stayed at work way beyond work finish time aware there may be delays until I was sent home.
I did all I could to ensure the call took place, but with no missed calls or voicemail on my mobile and nothing coming through the work landline - verified with reception [as highlighted prior to each call] and having waited outside of hours I really don't know what more I can do to accept calls which don't appear to have been made!
Ironically I leave this job at the end of August so will need to take any future attempts on the mobile.
I can't say this is down to Mr Telgenkamp - but somewhere there is something going very wrong. I do want to clarify matters and know what actions to take.....
Cant comment on recommendations / trust as we have not had the chance to speak.
The vascular team at The Royal Sussex saved my wife's life, and I, and my family are eternally grateful that we have such a skilled team looking after our care. Every member kept us informed and were very easy to talk to. Mere words cannot express our thanks to everybody involved.
Many thanks for your kind review. BT
Thanks Doc for my second extra Christmas. Hope you had a good one too.
I felt care for and was treated as an urgent patient.
All tests were carried out on time.
I have every confidence in Mr Bjorn Telgenkamp.
Many thanks for your kind review. BT

Profile
I have been trained as a general surgeon and vascular surgeon in Maastricht and Heerlen in the Netherlands. Following this I decided to do a subspecialty in Endovascular techniques and did a fellowship with Prof. Verhoeven in Nurnberg, Germany. This was followed by a specialised Vascular Fellowship in 2 centres of excellence in London (Imperial College - St. Mary's and Guy's & St. Thomas' Hospital).
Following my qualification, I started working as a consultant vascular surgeon in 2015 for the Sussex Vascular Network working in Brighton & Sussex University Hospital, Conquest Hospital, Hastings & Eastbourne District General Hospital.
My main areas of interest are care for the diabetic foot and endovascular treatments. In 2018 I became the chair for the Sussex Diabetic Foot steering group.
