- Paul Leeder completed a laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair for me in January. The standard of care from Paul and the Nuffield hospital has been excellent throughout, from initial consultation, to the day of surgery and after care. I am very happy with the results, having had next to no post-operative pain and life is quickly returning to normal. Thank you Paul, I have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending you!
