"My partner recently underwent hernia surgery, and I wanted to write this review to express just how grateful we both are for the outstanding care he received throughout the whole process. From the very first appointment, right through to the procedure and follow-up care, every single member of staff we met was professional, kind, and incredibly reassuring. I specifically want to say a huge thank you to Mr Christopher Challand, who performed the operation. He was absolutely brilliant — highly skilled, knowledgeable, and very patient. He explained everything clearly to both of us, took time to answer all our questions, and made sure we fully understood what would happen, which helped put our minds completely at ease. The whole medical team worked together perfectly, and we could see that they genuinely cared about my partner’s well-being and recovery. The level of attention, kindness, and medical care was exceptional, and we always felt he was in the safest possible hands. Thankfully, the surgery went very smoothly, and his recovery has been going really well thanks to the excellent work and advice we were given. We honestly could not have asked for better treatment or support. I would highly recommend this service and team to anyone — you are in wonderful, capable hands here, and we truly appreciate everything you did for us."
My experience was the best I have ever had. Any more problems I experience he is the consultant I would contact. I would recommend Mr Challands to friends and family. If in the future I have I any more rectal problems he will be my first call. Very professional, accompanied with a friendly disposion and easy to talk to regarding my rectal problems. Excellent. Currently I feel better than I have for the last 6 months or so.
Mr Challand explained everything clearly throughout and the procedure was conducted very professionally.
An extremely professional individual that showed full empathy with my medical concerns
After years of issues Mr Challand was the third specialist I had seen and the improvements as a result of his treatment have been genuinely life changing. I am extremely grateful
Very helpful and reassuring in making sure I was made fully aware of my condition. Excellent at explaining and for me to understand
Mr Challand puts you at ease and makes a point of listening to you without making you feel as though you are asking silly questions.
I recently had hernia surgery that was done by Dr Challand and all I can say is positive things, I cannot thank him enough for everything he has done as the surgery had some complications and he rectified those issues and I am so much better now and pain free
Mr Challand was extremely pleasant, polite, prompt and informative throughout each procedure and consultation. Thank you Mr Challand. Richard G.
Has a good relationship with patients and staff.
