In patients’ words

A selection of letters received following treatment at Guy’s, St Thomas’ and London Bridge Hospital.

  • As a PA my hands are my career, so it was a very scary experience. Mr Gidwani diagnosed a compressed nerve and operated four days later. Words cannot express how grateful I am for his care and skill.

    Ms S.L., Harold Wood. Ulnar nerve release and anterior transposition, London Bridge Hospital.

  • You were always so kind with me. It will be so nice to no longer be in pain with my wrist, something I owe to you and your amazing team at Guy’s and St Thomas’.

    Ms M-A.U., London. Distal radial osteotomy and bone grafting, Guy’s Hospital.

  • He explained the whole process in a very clear and detailed way, which made me comfortable going ahead. Considering it was my first operation, he even managed to make me laugh whilst I was being operated on.
