I was referred to Mr Jenkinson by another surgeon who was unable to assist me because he could not provide the necessary long term follow up. I am very pleased that he did. I have found Mr Jenkinson to be thoroughly professional, candid and realistic. My sleeve surgery in January 2018 went very well and, following his team’s clear advice, I have lost a third of my excess weight in 3 months. I only have one regret which is that I did not seek his advice years ago.

I had the laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy with Mr Jenkinson. My first consult was in mid November 2016 and I was walked through the procedure and given the pros and cons. My surgery was on the 30th of the same month and I am LOVING my sleeve. Thank you Mr Jenkinson for a really amazing experience to a scary but worth journey!

Excellent consultant found Mr Jenkinson to be honest, gave me and my husband clear explanation on my surgery, understood my journey with constant dieting which was affecing health issues. Mr Jenkinson made me feel at ease, answering all my queries and concerns which enable be to go through with surgery with a clear mind, realistic expectation on weight loss. Without his input and support, I would not be at this stage today, a much more happier, confident person. I am extremely pleased with weight loss, and please that I had such an understanding and caring consultant.

I found Mr Jenkinson to be a fantastic surgeon before and after my gastric bypass operation. His advice and information pre op was clear and straight forward and he put me at ease and addressed my concerns professionally. He visited me in my room the day after the op and was warm and empathetic. My operation was nearly six months ago and I’ve recovered well and adjusted to my new life without any unexpected or unexplained problems. I would highly recommend Mr Jenkinson to anyone considering weight loss surgery, it’s a life changing and life enhancing operation and I felt perfectly safe and reassured under the care of Mr Jenkinson and his team.

My experience of Mr Jenkinson & his team has been outstanding. I contacted Mr Jenkinson after a poor experience with a different private hospital. From the moment I had a my first conversation with Nathalie the process has been seamless, rapid & most importantly high quality. The experience in the hospital was first rate, high quality care & I felt like I received the best of attention. I cannot recommend Mr Jenkinson & his team more highly. 7wks on and the results are already life changing. I am delighted.

I first met Mr Richardson in January 2017 to discuss weight loss surgery. Having previously had a Gastric Band (removed 3 years earlier) I was apprehensive. Andrew very quickly put my mind at ease, discussed the benefits of each of the options open to me in an honest and transparent way. Having armed me with the information I was then able to make the right choice, with zero pressure. He operated on me in March and to date I have had no complications and lost over 38kilos. My surgery was pain free within less than 48 hours and scarring minimised. Andrew comes across with a combination of real optimism and integrity as well as giving you the feeling you are in the hands of a genuine leader in the field. A huge thank you from me!

Mr Jenkison has performed laparoscopic hiatus hernia operation on me at Wellington Hospital, London on May'17. He is professional, accessible, attentive, and incredibly skilled. He has kindly allowed me to watch the video recording of the procedure. I was mesmerized by the precision movements of the laparoscopic instruments which could not have been possible without the expertise refined by over 1500 operations. I will be eternally grateful to those hands.
