Recommendations and patient stories for The McCarthy Clinic

Thank you for your recent letter confirming the polyp you removed was "entirely benign". The whole process from seeing my GP in June to having surgery with you a few weeks ago has been nothing short of first class. Everyone was so friendly and helpful every step of the way. I had no issues with pain or bleeding and so thank you for doing such a good job. At 61 years old and having just gone part time I feel very lucky. So thanks once again for doing an amazing job.

Thank you for confirming that the rectal polyp you removed was benign - always a relief to have it in writing! Please thank the team that assisted you that day.

Just a note to thank you for your kindness, care and expertise in caring for me on my recent hospital visit. Please convey my thanks to your colleague. I've taken the liberty of including a card for the nurses and staff.

Mr H. has written to me on behalf of his father, complimenting the excellent professional care and treatment of his father from you and colleagues at Southmead Hospital. You and your team's approach clearly had an impact on the patient which demonstrated Exceptional healthcare, Personally delivered. Mr H expressed his gratitude for your clear explanations of the different options with and without the surgery and your humanistic approach to his father's queries and thus comforting him during the stressful moments. I would like to express my personal thanks to you and your team for your commitment and dedication.

Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) during the course of my scans a tumour was diagnosed in my bowel and in October, this year, I had an operation to remove it together with a full colostomy. I cannot thank, enough, Mr Iraklis Delikonstantinu and Ms Kathryn McCarthy and their teams for the continuing care and support which I have received.

I would really like to thank you and your team for the excellent way I was treated for my colonoscopy procedure. It really was first-class team work and I really appreciated the care and attention given to me.

Amazing service yesterday. Please pass on my grateful thanks to your team for their superb work yesterday. The full colour TV coverage of my insides was amazing.

I had one wife in tears today and that was because of the news that she is free of Cancer. R. was so glad to see you and the chat you had with her meant a great deal, and the hug you gave her was so caring. She is now going to spend the rest of the night telling our friends the good news. Please do not think you are not appreciated because you are and we make sure we tell as many people as possible about the great work you and your team do.

I am extremely thankful for your teaching yesterday. I thoroughly enjoyed it myself. I think we need to give you a bit more time as you were so good at it and I think the trainees were enjoying the session.
