Mr Leo is a genuine, kind and knowledgeable Surgeon. He took the time to listen to what I had to say, answered all of my questions, and explained to me everything he was doing, in a clear and concise manner. I feel lucky to have Dr Leo and his team in my corner, and I highly recommend him. He made me feel at ease and he makes me feel confident each time I see him. Thankyou Dr Leo.

The surgery carried out by Mr Leo has been transformative for me- I can’t thank him enough! Mr Leo was patient enough to answer all of my questions and the post-surgery care was great too (I saw him twice prior to leaving hospital and he also called me a week later for a further follow-up). Katie, his medical secretary, also deserves a very special thank you for being exceptionally helpful whenever I called or emailed her.

I had severe haemorrhoid problems which had not cleared with over the counter medication or prescribed medication. Mr Leo identified the problem and attempted a banding to avoid intrusive surgery which was not successful and so a haemorrhoidectomy was preformed. There was a follow up as some skin tag and marginal inflammation occurred. Steroid treatment was prescribed and second follow up took place. The haemorrhoids were completely resolved as was the skin tag problem. The area concerned is now better than it has been in my lifetime. On each occasion Mr Leo was excellent in manner and explanation. His advice was based on excellent diagnosis and succinct. He sought to avoid unnecessary treatment and medication, but which in fact proved necessary. He was extremely efficient and speedy without being peremptory. All in all someone I would recommend for any colorectal issues.

I had an excellent experience with Mr Leo. He also looked after me a few years ago, and once again I was impressed by his care. He is always very helpful and extremely knowledgeable. He takes the time to explain every detail of my condition, proposes different options, and we go through the plan together. I particularly appreciated how honest he was about the pros and cons of each procedure; it really helped me feel confident in the decisions we made. His secretary Katie is also amazing and makes the whole process much smoother and faster. She deserves her own 5stars review. I would truly recommend this service to anyone; if you need this kind of care, you can trust you are in good hands.

Mr Leo makes you feel comfortable right from the start, making it easy to talk about the medical issue and have the examination done. He was professional, efficient, and clear in communication. He takes good care of his patients from consultation to surgery to follow-up. If I would have this type of medical issue again, I would go back to him.

I was seen by Mr. Leo with the hemorrhoids condition for a second opinion. I chose to see this doctor because of the positive reviews I had read online. The experience with Mr. Leo did not disappoint. It was exactly as described by other patients. The doctor has a very pleasant personal style (welcoming, attentive, professional and consultative). I was greeted warmly and put at ease from the beginning. The doctor listened attentively and clarified several points. He then conducted an examination. In the end he summarized his advice and clearly outlined steps to follow. He answered all my questions in detail and provided a prescription. I received a medical letter from Mr. Leo the following day. Great service by Mr. Leo. I recommend seeing this doctor.

Dr. Alex Leo combines expertise and a willingness to listen and discuss. He is an excellent surgeon, friendly and knows the words to tell to reassure the patient. He was always kind and clear with me, explaining all the steps to be done to solve my issue. He followed me after the surgery and I had no problem at all. The assistance I got before and after the surgery was great and the staff around him is simply amazing. Thank you so much.
