Reviews
Dr Edwards is brilliant. Very kind and patient, explains things clearly and was very reassuring about my splenic aneurism. If only all doctors were same .
Thanks for this excellent review. It is much appreciated! Please do let us know if there is anything that could be done to improve our service. ME
I was very impressed with Eastbourne Hospital in general and Mr. Edwards in particular.
He was clearly under great pressure in the current situation, but he had a very efficient system working to maximise the time he could spend with each patient.
I feel he listened to my problems and this was reflected in the detailed and authoritative letter he subsequently sent to my GP
p.s. the form below didn't have a facility to record my age ... I am 80 y.o.
also, I ticked "yes" for chronic heart disease, - does my AF qualify?
Many thanks for this excellent review. You are correct - there are many significant challenges in running an effective outpatient department in the NHS at this time. We strive to provide the best for our patients every time and it is heartening to hear that this effort makes a difference. Thank you. ME
Mr Edwards has changed my life,for 30 years I have put up with pain from an ulcer on my leg and had to wear really uncomfortable stockings and he was so kind as well which made me feel very safe having the surgery.
I’m really pleased to hear this. Many thanks for taking the time to provide this valuable feedback. It is much appreciated. ME
I attended a Vascular clinic with Mr. Edwards regarding my large Abdominal Aneurysm and although I was rather nervous regarding what would happen I was quickly put at ease by him who clearly explained what would be the process that would be carried out with the treatment possibilities. He took the time to examine and listen and to reassure me. I felt that I was in very professional hands and the way he explained everything made me definitely more at ease with what was to occur in the coming months.
I am very pleased to hear that the consultation met our high standards. Many thanks for the feedback. It is much appreciated. ME
The incidental discovery of an 8cm diameter aortic aneurysm, leaving me obviously gravely at risk, was a great shock. I saw Mr Edwards within a couple of days and based on the limited options clearly explained, I opted for major surgery. The following weeks leading to surgery revealed the NHS at its joined up best with various tests, discussions and procedures carried out with professionalism and fully explained in context, recognising the obvious urgency.
The operation was apparently’textbook’ and following convalescence I have recovered all my fitness and am enjoying an active life to the full. My life expectancy has been turned around dramatically and I am truly grateful!
Thank you for this feedback. It is very much appreciated and will be used to help support the development of our service. ME
