Listened to me and gave me helpful advice couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. Would recommend to people in my circumstances
Thank you for your glowing recommendation. I appreciate you taking the time to write this.
I was seen at short notice and given the opportunity to discuss at length not only my immediate stoma issue but also stoma issues generally.
Thanks for this. It is important that we allow time to discuss general issues as well as any immediate problems.
Andrew listened to my few problems gave excellent advice and was extremely helpful. Credit to the team.
Andrew has always treated me with care, respect and humour. He was the nurse who initially saw me 5 years ago when I had my stoma operation and I am pleased to have him caring for me again. He keeps me informed of the treatment progress and reassures me that all is well.
This is great, thank you. I am happy to be caring for you and others that I have met in my former roles too.
Andrew Bird was very caring and gave excellent stoma advice and support.
Thank you. I am glad to hear you found the consultation useful.
