I had my umbilical hernia repaired by Greg back in October. I had been really apprehensive about the idea of surgery for some time, but after a lot of consideration, I decided to go ahead and contact the Oxford Hernia Clinic. The idea of avoiding general anaesthesia was a huge draw for me, even though it meant a long drive from
Scotland.
Soon after my email enquiry, Greg got in touch and took the time to thoroughly explain the entire procedure over the phone, which really helped to settle my nerves.
On the day of the operation, I was greeted by Greg’s incredibly welcoming team who reassured me throughout the process. I remember joking I must have been the most anxious patient they ever had. Before I knew it, after a few initial checks, I was in the operating theatre. Even though the procedure wasn’t done under general anaesthesia, I ended up sleeping through the entire surgery, thanks to the sedative I was given. The next thing I knew, I was being offered a sandwich and a cup of tea by the nurse. Greg came by shortly after, explained that everything had gone smoothly, and within just two hours, I was dressed and ready to head home.
The local anaesthetic lasted throughout the drive back, and I only needed paracetamol and ibuprofen for around 5 days. I did reach out to Greg a couple of times with questions, and both times, he called me back within minutes, offering reassurance and advice.
If you're feeling anxious about having your hernia repaired, I can't recommend Oxford Hernia Clinic enough. From start to finish, they made the entire experience as smooth and stress-free as possible. I just wish I had went for it sooner.

I had my inguinal hernia repaired by Greg and his team 3 weeks ago. As everyone else has said, the whole process was incredibly easy, smooth and efficient compared with trying to have the repair done through the NHS! The clinic was easy to find, with on site car parking, and the whole team were friendly and thoughtful.
Ultimately though, I feel a decision should be based on outcomes and once again I can definitely recommend the Oxford Hernia Clinic.
Three weeks on, the scar is healing really well and is barely noticible. I have a ridge as explained in the booklet but it is very small and I am sure with some massage it will reduce. I needed to use pain relief (not Codine) for about a week and by the end of the second week any discomfort had ended. I've been taking light exercise since about 10 days and have not expereinced any pain. My only challenge now is taking it easy for another 3 weeks because I feel pretty much back to normal!
In conclusion, I give Greg and his team a unqualified 10 out of 10 and would highly recommend him to those of you considering your options.

I chose to have my surgery with Oxford Hernia Clinic because the dates were flexible enough to plan around my work schedule, the pricing was clear and reasonable and every contact with them was informative, unpressured and helpful. Once I'd booked, the whole process was well organised, personal and professional. At no point was I left to feel concerned or worried. Greg is clearly a master of his craft and has built an exceptional team around him that all pull together and seem proud to do what they do. I gave a great deal of thought to whether paying for surgery was right for me. When I factor in the short hospital visit, the expert treatment and a recovery that gets me back to work as fast as possible, it was a no-brainer to go with Greg and the team.

Lovely people, first rate service. Never having had any operations before, I was very nervous at first but Greg and his team soon put my mind at rest. Mark the anaethetist made my sedation sweet and I was soon eating rolls and drinking coffee! I went home pain free. I am only 48 hours after surgery right now and already feel a new man. I want to thank Greg and his team for I feel sure this will give me my life back. 100% a 5 star rating from me!

Based on my own experience I will have no hesitation in recommending Greg and his team at OHC to anyone needing a hernia repair and not prepared to wait months for an NHS repair, if available at all, due to funding issues.
My inguinal hernia repair took place just over 6 weeks ago at OHC.
Having made the decision to take the self-funded route and after researching options I contacted OHC and was delighted to be offered a repair date within the next week.
I wasn't looking forward to a surgical procedure but a phone consultation with Greg immediately put my mind at rest.
The care I received at OHC was first class before during and after the procedure. The fact that the repair was done under local anaesthetic was a real plus for me personally although the relaxant I received from Mark made me sleep through the whole thing. That was an unexpected bonus.
Post repair everything has gone really well and in line with the information in the initial call, discharge advice from Greg and contained in the detailed information booklet provided by OHC.
So well that post-op my main concern was not to do too much too soon and basically follow the recovery recommendations provided.
Having passed the 6 week mark now and feeling good I have have pretty much taken up pre-op activities but just with a bit extra care in regard to significant lifting etc.
Many thanks to Greg and team at OHC,

I have referred patients to Greg for some time as I work as a GP in the area. My own experience under his care (inguinal hernia repair) was first class. I was sorted within days, the communication and information were excellent and the whole process smooth and easy. The surgery was quick. The team was friendly and welcoming. A brilliant service.

My hernia became serious on a Tuesday whilst on coastguard watch. I struggled home and contacted the Oxford Hernia Clinic late that evening. By the following morning I received a series of very helpful emails offering advice. By Wednesday afternoon I was booked in for an operation at mid-day on the Friday and by mid-Friday afternoon I was back home with a repaired inguinal hernia. The service and care was 5* - extremely efficient, professional and caring. The staffing levels at the clinic were outstanding and I am very grateful for the pre and post care in the recovery room by the nursing staff. The surgeon and the anaesthetist put me at ease with excellent briefings and of course a painless operation. Many thanks to all.
