Colin is genuinely interested in the surgery he performs - both process and outcomes. If any of my friends need a hernia surgery - I know a guy. He understood exactly what I wanted and did a great job.

An incredible surgeon, with great experience, impeccable knowledge, AND an amazing bedside manner. He took the time and care to explain my results with me in a kind, informative and reassuring way. I didn't feel rushed and was able to ask many questions. He is an extremely kind and compassionate doctor. I would highly recommend Mr Colin Hart. He is rare (I have seen lots of surgeon's in the past 5 years)

I searched extensively to find the right surgeon for a second opinion with regards to my ongoing Diverticulitis episodes. I picked Mr Hart because of his straight forward approach, sensing that he’d be honest and upfront about my condition and the discussion of upto date scans. After three consultations and many questions, I made a fact based decision to go ahead with surgery. Which wasn’t without its risks.
I came through the surgery with a better than expected outcome - he’s a brilliant surgeon, with a down to earth, caring bed side manner. I felt that he was very much with me on this journey to “fix me”.
So, if you are looking for an outstanding surgeon who will totally “take care” of you, then Mr Hart is your man.

I arrived in A and E with a severe bout of diverticulitis and saw Colin Hart, after undergoing many tests he said he could operate but he would prefer to plan it rather than going ahead as an emergency. He said he would put me on the urgent list as I had suffered many of these attacks since being diagnosed in 2008 and left just to put up with it, not by the Royal Free. I was admitted just a few weeks later and had the surgery to remove the diseased section of colon and had a colostomy. Colin and his team were honest and explained everything in terms that I would understand. Unfortunately I developed a parastomal hernia and in order to deal with that I was operated on again to reverse the colostomy and repair the hernia. During the surgery Colin felt that I would benefit from having an ileostomy, to enable full recovery of the colon, the hernia repair could not be done. 18 months later I was admitted to have the ileostomy reversed and the hernias repaired. At all consultations, appointments and hospital admissions Colin and his team were absolutely brilliant, I always felt totally at ease and given the full facts of my condition. I have every faith in Colin and tell everyone what a wonderful person he is.

My first consultation with Mr Colin Hart put me completely at ease regarding a prospective inguinal hernia repair. He took the time to explain everything about the operation, including post-op, and I felt confident and relieved that my pain and discomfort would soon be at an end. The operation went extremely well and my post-op recovery was very successful. My family are very grateful as I will now be able to embark on a trip to USA to visit my grandchildren, which was not possible before. I would highly recommend Mr Hart bith as an excellent surgeon and also for his very friendly manner, putting one at ease.

Mr Hart went out of his way back in December 2022, to attend promptly to my mother and reassure my family , during a medical emergency - bowel obstruction. His support and kindness was fabulous and we felt reassured that our mother would get the best treatment. He also visited our mother on the ward to reassure her about her condition. He is what one wishes every doctor could be, just great.

Dr Hart immediately put me at ease, gave me confidence in his ability to know what needed to done and he would ensure the right outcome - whatever the results proved. His initial prognosis was correct, he also managed to get me to listen and affect change in my behaviours.
