Get Well Soon works for everyone looking to get treatment fast

 Mr Pandey was a true professional from start to finish. He knew what was needed to repair the hernia within 2 minutes. Had the op. Saw him 7 weeks later all was good.

Miss N B

Inguinal Hernia Repair

Mr Stellakis is an excellent consultant, he explained fully the process of my operation. I followed his advice on my recovery period, resting until I felt comfortable enough to do some light exercise. I suffered very little discomfort after the operation and no bruising.

Mr P

Inguinal Hernia Repair

The recovery from the operation was speedy and pain-free. There were few side effects, and I can say I was moving around normally within a few days. I can certainly recommend Mr Stellakis.

Mr P T

Inguinal Hernia Repair

First-class consultant. He helped me every step of the way through the treatment. This was from the first appointment right through to the post-op consultation, he explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and inspired calm and confidence. Could not have wished my surgical procedure to have gone any better.

Mr M

Inguinal Hernia Repair

Felt very at ease with Mr Stellakis. Very friendly and excellent work. Would highly recommend.

Mr F S

Inguinal Hernia Repair

My experience has been excellent, from initial consultation through to being discharged. The day of the operation was relaxed, smooth and efficient, reflecting the professionalism of the staff. The post-op rehab and pain relief made for a quick recovery back to full mobility and it may even have improved my golf swing!

Mr G C

Inguinal Hernia Repair

From the first contact, everything progressed very efficiently and promptly. Simon Radley explained the options and process very clearly, recommending that I should have open surgery for my inguinal hernia. My surgery at The Priory Hospital followed quickly afterwards and I could not fault the care and attention Mr Radley and the team gave me on the day. I quickly made a full recovery and now feel like I have got my active life back again. Thank you to the whole team.

Mr I W

Inguinal Hernia Repair

My inguinal hernia was not causing me pain, however, it was getting larger and it wasn't going to go away by itself. I was reassured by Simon Radley's published experience as a surgeon and meeting him in person confirmed that I had indeed found a very experienced professional.

On the day, my wife and I were welcomed to the hospital and escorted to a comfortable room for our stay. All the hospital's staff acted in a caring, reassuring and professional manner throughout. I had no doubt I was in good hands.

The operation and post-operative care were carried out most satisfactorily. I was reassured that the hospital was only a phone call away during my convalescence. I would highly recommend him and his team.

Mr H E

Inguinal Hernia Repair

I've been rather unfortunate with hernias - groin (both sides) and more recently an umbilical hernia that was starting to need attention. But very fortunately, Mr Radley has operated on me and sorted everything out. Mr Radley is personable, considerate and obviously highly experienced and competent. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

Mr D J

Inguinal Hernia Repair

I couldn’t recommend Mr Radley more. My father had a stroke around 10 years ago, so when he had developed an inguinal hernia we were very concerned about the risk of any surgery. Mr Radley and the team assured us with great detail around the procedure. Rather than waiting 2+ years as we were advised by the NHS, we managed to get this sorted in the space of a week and a half - one day in and out with no complications. Mr Radley and the team were extremely respectful, knowledgeable and professional.

Mr K G

Inguinal Hernia Repair

I found Mr Radley to be a most charming gentleman, who clearly explained everything to me. I had full confidence in him right from the start and would not hesitate to recommend him to friends or family. He is a great surgeon with good team support. Fantastic job, he certainly put me at ease.

I am very pleased with the result.

Excellent hospital and wonderful nursing staff.

Mr N F

Inguinal Hernia Repair

I attended for a hernia repair recently. The hospital and staff provided excellent care that was safe, efficient and of a high standard. My only criticism was a lengthy wait postoperatively for discharge medications. Particular thanks should go to my treating surgeon Mr Radley, who I highly recommend for his expertise, skills and professional manner.

Mr P C

Inguinal Hernia Repair

I had an inguinal hernia operation carried out by Mr Radley in March. The care and treatment that I received was first-class.

Mr S W

Inguinal Hernia Repair

I had been diagnosed with an inguinal hernia by my GP and was in a lot of discomfort. Being 77 years old I wasn't prepared to put up with this discomfort until the NHS were able to operate (I still haven't heard from the NHS for my initial consultation with them).

I did some research on going private and contacted Mr Radley for a consultation. 11 days later I had the operation.

Everything was explained clearly before the op, and on the day everything went smoothly. After the first week, I had no discomfort or pain and was back to carrying on with my normal life within the month.

Thank you, Mr Radley and your team.

Mr M B

Inguinal Hernia Repair

My treatment with Mr Patel has been second to none; treatment was carried out efficiently with minimum delay, the treatment was always discussed with me and his professional manner and attention to detail has been wonderful. I felt very confident whilst under his care and would have no hesitation in recommending him.

Mr C

Inguinal Hernia Repair

I was delighted with, and very grateful for, the treatment I received for my inguinal hernia by Mr Patel and all at Droitwich Spa Hospital. The procedure was prompt, efficient, and completely successful, and I experienced very little in the way of after-effects. I was overwhelmed by the kindness and consideration shown by all. A thousand thanks.

Mrs S P

Inguinal Hernia Repair

It was made clear to me by my GP that I would have to wait a number of months to see a consultant in the NHS and I was able to consult with Mr Amit Patel, about an inguinal hernia within the week. He was very helpful, pointing out that I need not undergo surgery if I did not wish to, but that the problem would not improve otherwise. It was my choice to undergo keyhole surgery, and Mr Patel carefully explained what was to take place. Again, I was amazed that this was to be done within a couple of weeks. The surgery was very easily done. Mr Patel visited me both before and after the operation, and explained everything to me. The whole experience was very well arranged and the follow-up was faultless. My thanks to Mr Patel for his excellent work and care.

Mr R P

Inguinal Hernia Repair

Mr Ford was very patient with my elderly Aunt & Uncle, and gave clear and concise information to them both, loudly so they could hear him. Mr Ford has a good sense of humour too. I would certainly recommend him to anyone who is thinking of visiting him in the future.

Mr A B

Inguinal Hernia Repair

Thank you for your excellent care and expertise, I was very well cared for before and during my hernia operation. I had some concerns as I have a pacemaker and a defibrillator with blood thinners, however, Mr Radley was most reassuring and the team gave me the confidence to proceed. The immediate aftercare was excellent and I had no worries despite being discharged the same day. I followed all the advice and returned to my normal cycling and jogging activities after 6 to 7 weeks. Thank you all from an active 78 year old.

Mr D B

Inguinal Hernia Repair

I recently had an operation at The Priory. The care and the treatment were both exemplary and a problem that would have caused me distress for a long time waiting for the NHS was dealt with promptly. Particularly I would praise Mr Ford, my surgeon. Both competent and pleasant.

Mr C T

Inguinal Hernia Repair

First class treatment: professional, compassionate and a master of his craft.

Mr T S

Inguinal Hernia Repair

Polite and well-informed, he gave me all the information I needed and dealt with the issues I came in with. All in all, a very positive experience.

Mr L H

Inguinal Hernia Repair

Excellent diagnosis and explanation before and after the operation, with superb follow-up care.

Mr S P

Inguinal Hernia Repair

Very friendly and clear - no jargon - excellent!

Mrs P T

Inguinal Hernia Repair

Mr Adeyemo was extremely professional, he explained everything very thoroughly and was very pleasant, with a reassuring manner which helped me feel completely at ease.

Mr C L

Inguinal Hernia Repair

Everything from the pre-op to the post-op went very smoothly and I couldn't have hoped for a better overall experience. Mr Dayo Adeyemo is very friendly, professional and obviously a good, clean surgeon. The three small scars I have will probably be almost invisible in a few months. I had almost no pain after the operation, and just the odd ache, which, as explained to me, is to be expected. I would recommend Mr Dayo Adeyemo to anyone.

Mr C P

Inguinal Hernia Repair

Overall a reassuring and professionally managed experience, from initial consultation through to operation, discharge and follow-up check.

Mrs T S

Inguinal Hernia Repair

I felt very comfortable with Mr McArthur. He put me at ease and explained fully what the procedure entailed so going into hospital on the day of the procedure was less traumatic than I expected, although I was very nervous.

Mr K W

Inguinal Hernia Repair

My initial apprehension dissolved immediately in the presence of this friendly professional. Clear analysis and recommendations with a timely follow up.

Mr R A

Inguinal Hernia Repair

Very pleased with the surgery and overall result. Would highly recommend.

Mr T G

Inguinal Hernia Repair

Excellent service.

Mr P L

Inguinal Hernia Repair

All I can say is a massive thank you to my consultant, Mr Samuel Ford. At every point of contact, Mr Ford was personable and extremely professional, explaining the risks and benefits of surgery, and ensuring surgery was the correct choice for me by undertaking further clinical assessment. I've felt fully informed and in control of my decision to proceed. Even post-surgery check-ins and follow-ups have been reassuring. The level of care has been excellent. Thank you once again, Mr Ford.

Mrs K J

Inguinal Hernia Repair

Brilliant doctor, Mr Patel was very clear and honest about next steps. The location was superb, no waiting time and Mr Patel is an all-round nice person.

Mr A R

Inguinal Hernia Repair

I would highly recommend Mr Wiggins. My first operation in over 40 years. Always seen on time and, on the day of the operation, I cannot fault the treatment and information I received.

Mr L V

Inguinal Hernia Repair

My treatment was very successful and Mr Pandey was very professional. I was delighted with my experience at the hospital.

Mr M T

Inguinal Hernia Repair

I found Mr Fisher to be a lovely man and an excellent surgeon. He explained my procedure and told me what to expect, and how I would feel afterwards. I had every confidence in him. Post-op, I feel great and have minimal scarring - thank you.

Mr L T

Inguinal Hernia Repair

Mr Francombe was very helpful, thorough and competent.

Mr P L

Inguinal Hernia Repair

Mr Stellakis is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, genuine, empathetic and supportive. He takes his time to build a good rapport with you in a friendly and supportive manner. He is very positive and patient, taking the time to answer all your questions. I cannot thank him enough for putting me on the road to recovery and helping me regain my fitness so I can participate in sports again.

Miss S Y

Inguinal Hernia Repair

The treatment from Mr Nijjar was exceptional from day one. He was compassionate and informative at all times.

Mr A L

Inguinal Hernia Repair

Mr Peravali provided me with a highly efficient and professional service. He had an excellent bedside manner and was extremely knowledgeable. A swift management plan was formulated and seen through. I would highly recommend him.

Mr I P

Inguinal Hernia Repair

My experience with Dr Peravali was completely positive from start to finish. He and his team were professional at all times and had the gift of making me feel I was in extremely safe hands. I would have no hesitation in recommending Dr Peravali.

At Get Well Soon we specialise in elective procedures. Elective surgery is different from urgent or emergency surgery, where the patient's life might be in danger. However, we understand that for many patients, these conditions can often be debilitating and painful.

Elective procedures are often the sort of operations that the NHS are unable to prioritise, so seeing a doctor privately may be the only way you can have your condition treated quickly.
