I cannot rate Professor Baildam highly enough. He has been so reassuring, professional and handled this difficult experience with such sensitivity. I was extremely nervous and he had a fantastic way of putting me at ease. Outstanding outcomes following my preventative surgery.

I’ve seen about ten different specialists this year, and Prof Baildam was by far the best. He actually listened to me, and responded to what I asked, with his vast knowledge and clinical experience. This ability is is seemingly rarer than it should be. Would recommend to all!
