Slight mix up with my name causes a small delay at the clinic but the overall experience was positive

I am glad you had positive experience. I am sorry you had to wait longer than needed, and there was some mix-up with how your name was recorded. Whilst we endeavour to see everyone on time, some conversations unexpectedly need more time due to the complex clinical need.

I was fortunate enough to be referred to Prof Kocher from Dr. George Webster after a referral from Dr. Michael Chapman who were all excellent. I am very grateful to have been attended to by such high quality doctors.

Professor Hemant Kocher is exceptionally thorough, experienced and knowledgeable. He was very efficient and quick to analyse my past history of gall stones. He spent time arranging an initial video consultation, even when he was on a holiday. He explained my condition clearly and advised with wisdom. My laparoscopic cholecystectomy went very well indeed and I had a speedy recovery. His excellent reviews applauds his virtuosity. I'm blessed to have chosen the right person to do the job.
