I feel as though I was listened to, shown understanding and not brushed off as I had been with my GP. Options were clear and discussed with compassion and my decision was supported
From start to finish I felt heard, safe and had a lot more knowledge into what was going on with me. I am so pleased Dr Swanton was who I had look after me throughout this process.
Throughout out my whole experience Mr Swanton has been very professional and a delight to deal with, from my initial consultation to post Op. Provided me with all the information/options for my issue allowing me make a fully informed decision. So pleased l decided to go forward with the procedure. I couldn't have asked to be in better hands.
Mr Swanton conducted my surgery in a professional and caring manner. He, and his team, have been attentive and helpful throughout every step of the process, and I felt I was in excellent hands. The outcome of his work has been successful and made a huge difference to my wellbeing.
Fantastic experience with Dr Swanton. After fighting for my endometriosis diagnosis for 15 years it was a massive relief to finally have that diagnosis and the treatment I needed. Highly recommended him to anyone who struggles with endometriosis.
After struggling for years with severe bleeding and pelvic pain, I finally decided to seek help and was fortunate to find the right gynaecologist. I recently underwent a total hysterectomy under the care of Dr. Alex Swanton. From the initial consultation through surgery and recovery, Dr. Swanton demonstrated outstanding expertise and professionalism. I felt completely confident with the decision and supported throughout. The surgery itself went smoothly and my recovery was far easier than I had anticipated. The improvement in my quality of life has been remarkable. I no longer experience the constant discomfort and fatigue that once effected my daily routine. It's truly life-changing to live without the pain and heavy bleeding that had persisted for so long. So grateful to Dr. Swanton and his team to finally feel healthy, free, and full of energy again. Having this procedure was the best decision I could have made, and I would encourage anyone struggling with similar issues to seek out a qualified, trusted specialist.
Mr Swanton and his team offer an exceptional level of care and take the time to answer all your questions and help in any way they can. It has been a pleasure in what has been an uncertain time so thank you. Best wishes Hannah B.
My experiences with Mr Swanton have been nothing short of excellent. He’s very kind, listens well, understanding and very clear in his explanations. He was reassuring immediately before he operated and visited twice straight after. He performed a laparoscopic hysterectomy with such skill and precision that you’d barely know I’d had the operation. His PA Emma is incredible - efficient, responsive and, well, just lovely. Delighted with my care and can fully recommend Alex and his team.
I chose Dr Swanton for my hystorectomy because of his reviews, he was very friendly, supportive and Informative from start to finish. As someone with a higher BMI I was concerned I would be turned away however despite this, the operation was very successful and recovery has been a million times better than I imagined.
Mr Swanton was professional and approachable all thorough out my time of needing his services. Very informative and made me felt at ease at all times I trust Mr Swanton implicitly and my recovery time after my operation felt like a breeze. I can't praise him enough and his PA too. No question was left unanswered and because of this I felt confident in my choice of surgeon. Thank you again for everything
