Testimonials

What our patients say

Paul Goldsmith was superb. He diagnosed me quickly, he explained the options of surgery thoroughly and put my mind at ease and made comprehensive notes on all my symptoms ahead of the surgery. Post surgery, Paul was easy to contact and answered any questions I had throughout the recovery period and the surgery itself went really well with no complications. As a side note, Paul is very personable which was refreshing as his sense of humour immediately made me feel comfortable. I would highly recommend Paul.

Spire Manchester Hospital

Thank you Paul for changing my life and relieving me of acid reflux which has blighted me daily over the years. Paul treated me as an individual, he has a relaxed manner which supports easy communication. I am positive that the fast recovery was due to the superb surgical skills of Paul. I was also very well looked after by all the staff at the Spire Hospital in Manchester. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to find a solution to the problem of the debilitating condition of acid reflux.
