Dr Goodchild removed my bowel polyps via a colonoscopy. The experience was superb, I had almost no discomfort at all and I was back at my desk within 2 hours. The nurses were also great, a brilliant team!
After suffering months of abdominal problems and seeing various medical professionals without a diagnosis, I made an appointment with Dr George Goodchild at the London clinic. I was very worried and anxious, needlessly as he was so patient and kind I soon felt at ease. He asked a lot of questions and he really listened to me. I now have a diagnosis I can’t thank him enough for his caring and professional approach. Highly recommended
I have been very worried regarding my stomach problems. On meeting this lovely doctor I immediately felt at ease. My condition was very clearly explained and treatment plan. The most positive point was that he listened and asked lots of questions. A very positive experience.
On attending the clinic I found the Dr Goodchild extremely pleasant and explained everything very clearly in a manner in which I understood. Thank you.
Could not fault the service that I got. Dr Goodchild spent a long time explaining my problem to me with diagrams and pictures which has made me really understand the issue .
The opération was very well conducted but the information about the treatment lacked clear follow up. This seems however be part of the system. I still do not know after our call when I might receive my prescription, but the message about the bill is already here...money more than care seems to be the focus
Dr Goodchild was fantastic; super friendly, put me at ease and very professional
I was referred for a colonoscopy and initially had an excellent first consultation where I was examined and had reasons why the colonoscopy was required fully explained and, in addition, was informed that to ensure a complete picture was obtained I would also be having a gastroscopy. To allay any concerns that I might have had Dr Goodchild suggested they be undertaken as soon as possible and he was able to schedule the procedures only 2 days after the initial consultation. I attended the London Clinic early in the morning and was discharged by mid-morning. The entire endoscopy team were first class in attitude, professionalism and competence and I recommend this doctor and his team very strongly indeed.
Excellent hepatobiliary and gastroenterology specialist. Exceptionally friendly and always provides a conscientious clinical opinion.
