What our patients say
Dr Campbell assessed my condition very efficiently and explained clearly what his actions would be. These were carried out at the BMI Alexandra hospital. The total timescale from initial consultation to follow up meeting after the procedure was 2 weeks which was very acceptable. I would like to thank him for his very efficient, friendly and professional approach. At all times he spoke a "language" I understood which always helps.
I made an appointment to see Dr Campbell on a Monday,he arranged a CT Scan on the Thursday followed by a Colonoscopy on the Saturday.His secretary then arranged a follow up appointment a week after the Saturday treatment with the results of my biopsies! What a wonderful service,a great team effort with full marks to his secretary (his wife) who bent over backwards arranging appointments and giving instructions on the taking of the powders prior to the Colonoscopy.What could have been a very stressful week was made very relaxed by this great Campbell team,thanks again.
