Patient Feedback

had a very large abdominal hernia which was causing me considerable distress. It was extremely unsightly and was causing severe pain and vomiting on an increasingly regular basis.

Despite a number of enquiries and private consultations, I could not find anyone in Scotland who was willing to operate, either privately or within the NHS.

From my first contact with my surgeon at The British Hernia Centre, I was treated with kindness and compassion and given hope that I could be helped and that life could return to normal..
I returned about 3 weeks later for repair of my hernia and reconstruction of my abdominal wall.

At all times I was treated with kindness, compassion and professionalism by all members of the team (my surgeon and anaesthetist and the rest of the surgical team, all nursing staff and physiotherapy) Also the many others in the background such as admin, cleaning staff and catering.

I was admitted for 4 days and my surgeon visited me on each of those which was SO reassuring.
He followed me up as an outpatient prior to my return to Glasgow and again at 3 months when I attended for review. On one occasion he contacted my GP to request bloods and has remained available to me for advice by text or phone.

After recovery I was able to return to running, swimming and walking my wee dog

At six months, life is almost back to normal. I have a flat abdomen and can (much to my delight) fit back into my favourite dresses.My scar is very feint and barely noticeable.

I have only positive things to say about all aspects of my care.

Finally, the food was just fabulous and served with such flair by the lovely catering staff in their smart uniforms. Definitely a highlight of my stay.

I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending The British Hernia Centre.

Many thanks for giving me my life back 🙏

Thank you to all the wonderful staff at the British Hernia Centre. I was very impressed by your kindness and professional service. My surgeon is exceptional in his integrity and compassion. He really went the extra mile to ensure that I received the right treatment. The advice he gave me not to go ahead with our planned surgery meant he lost the fee (which was promptly refunded) and the theatre booking we had arranged. On top of this he arranged for a colleague to see me the following day just to be sure it was the right decision.

I highly recommend the centre to anyone considering private surgery, you will be in very safe hands here.

I am so pleased I had my operation performed at the British Hernia Centre, every aspect of the experience was first class! I had no pain with minimum discomfort. I was up and about hours after my operation.

“The Gold standard in hernia repair”

The experience was world class. Exceptionally professional. Great hospital, nursing staff and surgeon. I was back at work the day after my operation and back in the gym/ playing golf two weeks after the procedure. I never really experienced any pain. Now one month on, the operation site has healed perfectly.

It is now 3 weeks since my operation and all is going to plan (exactly as you said it would), with no complications or problems whatsoever.

I have been trekking in the hills each day for the last week and have started running again after a gentle build up without any problems or restrictions.

Once again many thanks for your care and attention and please extend my best wishes to your team.

I now look forward to some good mountains in the near future. You made this possible.

I cannot thank the surgical team enough for giving me my quality of life back. Using the British Hernia Centre was the best outcome for me. I am convinced that the operation outcome will be better than using my local NHS hospital because of your expertise in hernia repair.

Having just recommended a friend to come here for hernia surgery, I am reminded about my own large inguinal hernia which, before having a tension free repair here five months ago, I used to think about every day but now never crosses my mind!

I am so very grateful for the excellent and expert care that I received. My surgeon and anaesthetist, both kind and caring, were highly skilled and the operation seemed to be over very speedily. I returned home the same day after frequent checks by the charming nurses and for the next few days experienced only mild discomfort, easily remedied by the occasional paracetamol.

The aftercare information provided by the unit was detailed and helpful and when I had a query before flying off on holiday a week later, I received an immediate and reassuring email response from my surgeon.

The whole team provided a very positive experience and an excellent result. I can now wear whatever dresses and jeans I choose without the unpleasant bulge of a hernia showing. Many thanks to you all.

My Hernia Operation was on Thursday PM. ~ I was back at work on Monday!

2 Days after the op I was back to DRIVING
after 10 Days I was back to YACHT RACING
after 14 Days I was back MOUNTAIN BIKING

I was AMAZED how easy the operation was. That evening my wife and I WALKED ½ mile to a local restaurant and enjoyed a lovely paella!

Amazing – as I never thought, hours after an operation I would have been able to achieve this. THANK YOU!

I am very thankful to you for accommodating my procedure during a very busy time for you. My experience was outstanding; my first contact with your centre was very professional and helpful. The people at the hospital were very kind and the surgeon was very knowledgeable and explained things to me in an easy way.

After six weeks I went for a hike with my family and friends to the ‘Portuguese Bridge’ near Addis Ababa in Ethiopia. Now, after six months I actually have totally forgotten I had a surgical procedure and again I went for a hard-core hike, including a walk to the 2nd highest point in Ethiopia, in the ‘Bale Mountains National Park’.

18 years ago I had my first hernia repair done by The British Hernia Centre and was extremely pleased with the result. I said at the time that I hoped never to have another hernia, but if I did, I would know exactly where to come. Well, 18 years later I did have another hernia on the other side and I didn’t hesitate in calling the BHC.

I naturally based my expectations this time on my previous experience but I have to say that this time, not only was the recovery even quicker but there was even less soreness afterwards than last time. I did not even need any painkillers.

Two days after the procedure it was our wedding anniversary and, not only did I feel well enough to go out for a meal, I drove us to the restaurant. On removing the dressing, the scar was barely noticeable – and no stitches to come out!!!

Over the years I have recommended The British Hernia Centre to several people unfortunate enough to suffer hernias and I will certainly continue to do so.

Thank you SO much for your expertise – AGAIN!

I found recovery MUCH better than I thought. I dropped the painkillers after 24 hours and was back at work the NEXT MORNING

I feel the procedure went very well. I am so pleased to not have any pain or discomfort and for everything in that area to look normal. I had the hernia for six months.

The care given by nursing staff and doctors was fantastic.

I flew from Inverness to London on Friday evening had my op on Saturday 9am and back to Inverness Sunday.

• first class hospital
• first class nursing staff
• first class doctors.

Thank you so much

I had surgery at The British Hernia Centre to repair an inguinal hernia. I am posting this in particular to make known the excellent work and care that the British Hernia Centre provides and to bash a few myths about hernias.

I am 46, 5’11? and 12 stone and I cycle and kite-surf. I have cycled all my life and windsurfed and kite-surfed since i was 30. When it was diagnosed by the doc at A&E he told me after the operation I’d have to stop riding a bike! This turned out not to be true.

PAIN – at no time during the operation or after it did I experience any pain at all.

CARE AT THE BRITISH HERNIA CENTRE – the level of care from everyone there was exceptional. Very kind, helpful and thoughtful. A very impressive team indeed. My surgeon always had time to talk and explain. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble. This is very unusual!

PAINKILLERS – I took painkillers as prescribed and stopped after four days because they were clearly not needed.

RECOVERY – I took it easy on the day of the operation and the day after. By Day 3 it felt fine to drive and go to Sainsburys.

WORK – I work at a desk and work was not affected.

CYCLING – I was back on the bike a week after the operation riding with the kids to school.
Riding off-road two weeks later.
Riding full-tilt, downhill in the Alps five weeks after the operation!!

I wondered how my hernia repair would handle any falls I might have. Riding hard is one thing. Coming off is another. I came off and tumbled twice on my shoulder and then my knee. both pretty hard and painful, but the hernia repair was unaffected!

The whole thing, starting with the initial consultation, was handled in a way that gave me total confidence and put me at ease. There was a nice relaxed air, with a very sensible level of humour that left me feeling that I was in good and very experienced hands. I felt that nothing was being understated and that I was being told it totally “as it was”, but that there was nothing of which to be afraid. You were all very open to, and actively encouraged questions, giving honest but reassuring answers. As regards the operation itself, it passed off very smoothly and left me with very little pain both on the day or subsequently.

The whole experience was handled as well as it could have been. Thank you.

The whole procedure lasted about 1½ hrs including recovery etc but at no point did I feel discomfort or lacking in confidence because I was surrounded by genuine caring nurses/staff.

I had the opposite side hernia repaired some 10 yrs ago at The British Hernia Centre. Touch wood I have never had a problem with this previous repair hence my reasons for selecting The British Hernia Centre to undertake the current repair.

I am 68 yrs old and have already returned to bowling some 7 days after the repair and intend to start gym next week.

If I had known you existed and how easy it would have been to recover and resume normal life I would have had the operation last September when I found out I had an incarcerated hiatus hernia! I am ecstatic about how the procedure turned out for me and the care I received.

3 days ago I underwent surgery – it was so easy, painless and stress free I could almost have it done all over again!

The entire team from admin, nurses, anaesthetists (who also chose the theatre music soundtracks!) and of course the surgeon are indeed the very best.

A consultation and operation arranged for the same day, fabulous lunch and back to my hotel 7 hours later. Post op all going well and walking around with minimal pain relief required.

Thank you British Hernia Centre – I can now plan my Vietnam cave trek with confidence!

Three weeks ago I spent a relaxing morning at The British Hernia Centre. At times I felt as if I was at a health spa rather than a health clinic, such was the courtesy, care and consideration I received from everyone I came into contact with.

I can’t tell you about the op because I dozed off during it, but I can say that the coffee and sandwiches afterwards were great. I asked for and got biscuits too but don’t tell them it was me who told you! Three days later I was driving and mowing the lawn – the rest as they say is history.

Looking back, I wish I had done this sooner. I realise now that telling myself it wasn’t a problem meant I hadn’t done things I wanted to do because I knew it might cause a problem.

The real bonus has been that my wife has stopped nagging me to get rid of the rowing machine and for that and everything else I thank all the staff at The British Hernia Centre.

Being regarded as a ‘Wimp’ by my Good Lady when it comes to pain, I was overjoyed that I did not need ANY painkillers following the operation, which was carried out in an efficient and friendly manner.

I felt at ease as soon as I met my surgeon.

Impressed with the hospital and all the staff that we came into contact with.

I will certainly be recommending The British Hernia Centre to any hernia sufferers. Many thanks.

Took painkillers the first day only. I was back at work 3 days after the op.

My recovery was faster than my other hernia repair you did for me 19 years ago!

Excellent team, friendly and competent. Excellent treatment and care given. No pain killers needed and I was able to travel home on public transport the same day. I’m 73 years old. It’s important to listen to advice given as everyone is different.

My heartfelt thanks to the excellent staff. In particular, my surgeon, my anaesthetist and the nurse with the soft Irish accent (I am sorry I don’t know her name at all) were all utterly superb.

So far I have no immediate plans to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, but it feels entirely plausible to me that I will be able to take up hiking again in Cornwall quite soon!

Wonderful experience, I was really frightened about the whole ordeal as I had a large hernia. It turned out to be a nice experience. I was out and walking in less than 24hours. Just a bit of pain getting up from bed for the first two days, but with a little help it was ok. After a week you could see it was a speedy recovery with the dressing removed and a healing wound. Will recommend to anyone that this is the place to go.

I had seen 3 different consultants in 3 different hospitals and all of them advised me not to proceed with surgery as my hernia was extremely large. However when I had my initial consultation at the British Hernia Centre I was delighted that my specialist there told me that he would put me back to my former self.

In my opinion they are the best in this field and successfully repaired my hernia.

My life has been transformed, I am 8 stone lighter and my confidence and outlook in life is totally different since the successful surgery. The difference between before the surgery and after is unbelievable.

Would highly recommend this team to anyone.

I am 68 years old. On 20 April 2012, I went for an umbilical hernia repair at The British Hernia Centre. When I arrived I was made so welcome by the staff. I then saw my surgeon, who explained everything to me, after which I got ready for my procedure. The nurse who gave me tests was first class. He explained everything as well. I then went to the operating room and again, the nurses in there were so nice. I had a local anaesthetic and my repair was done. After the surgery, I walked to an adjacent recovery room where I had two cups of tea and sandwiches, served to me by a lovely lady.

I then saw the nurse and surgeon again, they checked me out and gave me the all-clear to leave and my wife drove me to a local hotel where we stayed overnight, as we live 140 miles away in Suffolk. We drove back to Suffolk, I had two weeks off my work in traffic management.

I was able to drive again in 6 days (when I was sure I had no pain using the pedals). The nurse also rang me to see if I was okay after a week. I thought that was a lovely touch, by very caring people.

The centre also wrote to me, my surgeon was on call 24/7 if I wanted to speak to him. Where else would you get that service?

I paid for the surgery. On the NHS I would have had to take 3 months off work for recovery, having used other methods that also would have required general anaesthesia.

I hope I have given an insight of my dealings with The British Hernia Centre. First class treatment and care and after-care. I recommend them.

After suffering with a groin Hernia I decided to see a consultant and get it fixed, I’m in BUPA so I booked in to see a hernia specialist in Manchester where I live. The consultant was excellent, he said he could perform the operation using keyhole surgery and I would have a general anaesthetic. He said it wasn’t an easy operation but he had done many of them so there would not be a problem. I was about to book this when my wife checked out The British Hernia Centre, their procedure seemed much less intrusive and the recovery times much better.

Today is the sixth day since I had my operation completed by The British Hernia Centre at the Lindo wing. The whole experience has been amazing and far better than I expected.

My consultation was one evening last week, my specialist’s confident and pleasant manner filled me with confidence for my operation the following morning.

On the morning of my operation I was introduced to my anaesthetist, he explained everything to me and made me feel completely at ease.

The operation (under LOCAL anaesthetic, not General) took around half an hour, I was awake but could not feel any pain, once completed I spent a short time in Recovery where I was monitored before being taken back to my room for an excellent well deserved meal.

A couple of hours later my wife and I were walking back to my hotel and that evening we had a walk out and enjoyed a nice meal in a local restaurant.

The following day we returned to Manchester by train, the recovery has been both remarkable and uneventful, I have had no pain from Day 1, the only thing I have felt is the slight discomfort you would expect from the dressing. I have not mentioned the Admin and the rest of the nursing staff at the centre, they were all very helpful and totally professional.

I would like to thank the whole team for their help, i’m just so pleased my wife found The British Hernia Centre.

I had an inguinal hernia op, under local anaesthetic

At 9:30 I went down for my op which took a mere 30 minutes.

By midday, I had already had lunch and my discharge was being sorted.

I left at 1pm, unaccompanied, taxi to Waterloo and caught the train home.

Within a week I was walking 4-5km and now just short of a month after my op, I went for a 5km run 👍.
The care was fabulous, all the nurses were wonderful, kind, helpful and a good sense of humour.

In summary, very positive experience in the hands of an excellent team.

I’m amazed at how life changing this op has been. I feel young again! After just a week I was cycling again. After 4 weeks I’m fine with 60-70 mile rides at my normal fast pace. Amazing!

Surgeon and support team are world-class!

I very much appreciated the way my questions/concerns were addressed before the surgery. Surgery was very smooth and I would recommend the team to anyone whole-heartedly.

48 hours after surgery, I drove my car for 3 1/2 hours from Zurich to the Valais. says it all …..

Full of admiration. You deserve your reputation as the world’s leading hernia facility.

Not only has the recuperation from my hernia procedure followed precisely what you predicted but none of the unlikely problems, about which I was cautioned, has arisen. Thank you – all of you. But especially my surgeon, and the theatre team who assisted him as well as all those who were involved prior to and after the procedure.

It is wonderful to be freed from all the constraints to one’s life caused by the hernia.

You are all fabulous!

I want to say how grateful I am to everyone at the British Hernia Centre for the wonderful attention received at the weekend. From admittance through to discharge the same day, I cannot fault the professionalism and concern of all the staff. In particular, a big thank you of course to the surgeon and anaesthetist for their reassurance and humour during the procedure.

Local anaesthetic meant that I was able to chat away to them during the whole operation which was completed in 30 minutes. I was then attended to by a lovely man in the recovery room who put me at ease and assessed my level of coherence post op. Not to forget the nurse who ensured I was comfortable both pre and post op.

A very well appointed private room and a most welcome lunch post op meant I was ready to leave in a much better condition than I could possibly have hoped for.

Now into my third day of recovery, I managed a one hour walk yesterday with no after effects.
All in all, a RESULT! Thank you all so much.

At the age of 78 I had a hernia repair at a local private hospital which was carried out by a general surgeon. This left me in considerable pain for several days afterwards. Six months later the hernia recurred. During the following twelve months I tried natural healing methods but without success.

By this time the hernia had worsened and something had to be done. My internet searches found The British Hernia Centre. I was particularly impressed by the video broadcasting to other surgeons of their hernia repair technique. In March 2013 I had the hernia repaired at the BHC and what a totally different experience this turned out to be. The Consultant was caring and charming and surrendered as much time as I needed. He even telephoned me the evening before surgery and twice afterwards. Immediately following surgery I was comfortable and pain free. Seven weeks on hernia discomfort now seems a distant memory and I wish I had been driven earlier to find a solution. Also, the Hospital of St John and St Elizabeth sets standards that would be hard to beat.

Had I not experienced the original unsatisfactory hernia repair I probably would not have fully appreciated the quality of the BHC’s whole approach.

Accordingly, I would recommend The British Hernia Centre without reservation.

I am now back in the Bahamas after a successful op at the British Hernia Centre at St John & St Elizabeth.

I would like to say a big THANK YOU for the excellent service I received, both prior to leaving the Bahamas for London and then at the Centre.

I originally found the British Hernia Centre on this website. I found the information posted on the site to be comprehensive and very informative, enough to give me the confidence to contact you.

All staff with whom I came into contact were courteous, friendly and had answers to all my questions.

Having made the decision to have my hernia repaired by the BHC, I was sent information which answered all my questions. I found it particularly thoughtful that you not only gave information directly linked to my short stay at the hospital but also lateral information with regard to nearby hotels and more.

Everyone with whom I came into contact, from Danny of the Car Service who drove me to and from the hospital, to the staff in the Centre, the anesthesiologist and the operating room nurse, are to be commended on their friendly and easy manner and their excellent bedside manner.

The surgeon treating me is a gentleman and a gem. He completely put me at my ease – and obviously did a marvelous job, as after the operation I felt just fine with only a small amount of discomfort rather than any pain so that I did not have to take a single pain killer, not even the first night after the operation.

This was my first ever time in a hospital and my experience with doctors has also been extremely limited – at age 61 I am very lucky to be able to say this. I have a rather demanding job and consider the short time I spent at the hospital as a wonderful enforced rest.

This has been a very positive experience, and I would not hesitate to recommend the British Hernia Centre to anyone else who needs this kind of medical help.

I returned to the Bahamas last week and I am fine. The day after the operation I resumed taking gentle daily walks and have now taken up daily exercise again.

Please extend my thanks to everyone.

Everything has been amazing. I took a chance coming from the US and hoping that it could all work out, and it has turned out better than expected.

I’m very grateful that this has been fixed after dealing with it for so many years.

My primary care physician [in the US] said that patients he has seen after this particular surgery here are generally flat on their back for 8 weeks straight trying to recover, so he was surprised to see me in his office after less than 14 days.

You provided exactly what I expected from your website. The whole process was extremely efficient, pain free and conducted in a very friendly atmosphere. Normality returned in about 5 days.

Since the op I have resumed gardening, DIY, and driven 2,424 miles on a 3 week tour of Ireland!

I am a really happy ‘customer’ who would recommend you to anyone I meet in similar circumstances to mine. Praise be that I don’t get another hernia, but if I do I will be in touch for further treatment and help.

Thanks for everything.

Had my surgery Monday lunchtime.
Went out to eat on the way home.
Out to restaurant with the boys next day – food and drink
NO pain-killers – NO PAIN!

Everything from start to finish went well. I came to the British Hernia Centre on a recommendation and seeing your website. I could not believe it could be so easy. Many thanks.

Thank you for your kind care and attention and for giving me back my body!

I will highly, HIGHLY recommend you and all the staff at The British Hernia Centre.

Having just recommended a friend to come here for hernia surgery, I am reminded about my own large inguinal hernia which, before having a tension free repair here five months ago, I used to think about every day but now never crosses my mind!

I am so very grateful for the excellent and expert care that I received. My surgeon and anaesthetist, both kind and caring, were highly skilled and the operation seemed to be over very speedily. I returned home the same day after frequent checks by the charming nurses and for the next few days experienced only mild discomfort, easily remedied by the occasional paracetamol.

The aftercare information provided by the unit was detailed and helpful and when I had a query before flying off on holiday a week later, I received an immediate and reassuring email response from my surgeon.

The whole team provided a very positive experience and an excellent result. I can now wear whatever dresses and jeans I choose without the unpleasant bulge of a hernia showing. Many thanks to you all.

I was diagnosed with an inguinal hernia in April 2022, probably brought on by weightlifting. I’m 64, and in otherwise good health. As I researched my choices for a repair, I was surprised to find that almost every U.S. doctor in my area wanted to perform a robotic laparoscopic surgery, which involves general anesthesia and making 3 keyholes to repair one hole (the hernia.) And the recovery period was daunting; it would be six months before I could consider lifting significant weights. Naturally, it’s also very expensive.

Fortunately the British Hernia Centre’s web site came up during my investigation. At first, I thought it was too good to be true: only local anesthetic, a small external incision, and mesh inserted between layers of the abdominal muscles; no mucking about in the abdomen, and no risk of nicking something important or having the intestines attach to the mesh as it heals.

After contacting the Centre for further information, I scheduled a flight from Seattle to London. The Centre was very accommodating. I arrived in the early morning, had a consultation with my surgeon in the afternoon, and surgery was scheduled for the following morning.

The morning of the surgery, I walked two miles from my hotel in Kensington to the hospital. The facilities are modern, the staff were welcoming and cordial, and the doctors were excellent. They do provide a light to medium sedation so that you will be comfortable during the procedure.

The procedure lasted less than 30 minutes. I returned to my hospital room (perhaps I should call it a suite, it was very comfortable), relaxed there a bit, had a delicious lunch, and walked two miles back to my hotel. Try doing that after your laparoscopic surgery!

The pain over the next three or four days was easily managed with a little paracetamol (acetaminophen as it’s called in the U.S.) and ibuprofen. I walked miles every day. They suggest a light jog already the following day, but this was a bit uncomfortable. I remained in the UK for a week, and saw the sights, including an aerial tour of Kent and the Dover coast in a WWII Spitfire — complete with victory rolls. The incision was unaffected.

Now, two weeks later, all pain is gone; only some numbness and itchiness remains. I’ve resumed all normal activity (including running) and expect to be lifting again at the 6 week mark.

I was so impressed with the staff, facilities, and the effectiveness of the procedure itself. The long journey was certainly worth it; the cost was very reasonable; and I very highly recommend the Centre and its staff to anyone. After seeing my results, even my own doctor here in the U.S. (who has developed an umbilical hernia) is planning to have his repaired there this fall.

I am DELIGHTED with the way everything has worked out. On the day of the operation every member of staff was simply wonderful, you have a great team.

I felt relaxed and very confident in the hands of the surgeon and I believe he carried out an excellent hernia repair. Within a week I was gently returning to normal activities and everything was as it had been described to me both verbally by the staff and also in the literature that was given to me on my discharge.

I had a sudden Inguinal Hernia in mid July. My GP warned me – push it back in but ‘if it gets very painful go to A&E because it could go horribly wrong’. My wife was talking to a friend who told us of The British Hernia Centre. Three days later we drove up to them at the Lindo Wing. Seven days later we drove.100 miles again,up early am. Job done – lots of TLC – advice on what to do and not to do – Lovely lunch. Stretched along the back seat of the car – in bed AT HOME by 5:30pm.

Now ten days on I feel so good. Walking gently, nap in early afternoon, dressing off at home with “Peeleasy” – perfect scar -no stitches to worry about.

If you feel a hernia, DO NOT wait for NHS. Get up to The British Hernia Centre. It is the best money I have ever spent. Trust me. I’m 84 !

Two weeks on, I have resumed all my normal activities and the only reason I am not playing golf is because the course is waterlogged!!

The whole procedure was excellent. The medical and hospital staff were all efficient, caring and professional resulting in an anxiety-free time in the British Hernia Centre.

I had a massive hiatus hernia where my stomach was in my chest displacing my heart and squashing my lungs, I couldn’t breathe and I was exhausted every day. My own GP said he thought it was unlikely that any surgeon at our local hospital would attempt the operation due to the fact that it was a very difficult operation to do and also because of my age (82) and medical history.

I came for an appointment at The British Hernia Centre to talk over my problems with the surgeon who then told me he would be happy to do my operation.

Everything was absolutely first class right from the surgeon, the anaesthetist, the doctors and nurses even the very pleasant young man that brought my food. I have nothing but praise for the whole team who took very great care of me throughout the operation and recovery, each and every one that made my operation and recovery possible.

They literally saved my life and I and my family will be forever grateful x

I am pleased to have undergone the procedure as the hernia was slowing my activity level. The fact that the hernia would never heal of its own accord was unacceptable for me. The procedure was for me a necessary step to resuming both my normal mental and physical quality of life.

I flew thousands of miles for this procedure to be done at The British Hernia Centre.

I took NO painkillers!

I was back to my normal activities right away!

EXCELLENT service and EXCELLENT surgery.
I highly recommend the British Hernia Centre

Hi. I had my Hernia Repair nearly 30 Years ago and remember the day well, with neighbours thinking I’d gone mad doing a 3 mile jjog the evening of the surgery.

I’ve had a number of approaches over recent years concerned about patch failure and triggered by cold callers and press sensationalism.

I can happily say that I’ve never had a moment’s trouble since with the repair. I’ve subsequent experienced a key hole repair through medical insurance and only wish it had been using the technique used previously as I was black and blue and swollen.

Many Thanks

I would highly recommend The British Hernia Centre to anyone looking for a specialist in hernia repair. I chose to pay privately and use the BHC for my repair giving me the best possible chance of returning to sports and with the quickest recovery time, I have certainly not been disappointed.

The surgeon who carried out the operation was brilliant. He explained exactly what I could expect from the operation and answered any questions I had, leaving me very confident that I would return to full fitness.

All of the staff were very friendly and made my short stay very comfortable. Couldn’t recommend this place highly enough.
Thank you.
