    I attended for gallbladder removal. Everything was very well explained and seamless.

    Dr Adeyemo was very pleasant and informative at all stages of the process. The surgery was successful and it was reassuring to have a follow-up appointment 6 weeks later to confirm all was well. I would have no hesitation in recommending Dr Adeyemo and the Nuffield hospital.

    Dr Adeyemo was responsible for my recent surgery. The whole process went extremely smoothly. Dr Adeyemo clearly explained the procedure, any potential risks, and the recovery process. On the day of surgery, he put my mind at ease prior to the procedure, and visited me again after surgery to ensure I was ok, comfortable, and clearly explained how it went. The outcome of the surgery was positive, and I'm now back to full health, with the underlying issue having been resolved. I would recommend Dr. Adeyemo to anybody who might be considering using his expertise.

    Hernia fix by laparoscopy. Successful op, no pain hernia site, minor in 3 holes. Back to work after week, light training after 3 weeks, long distance walk after 5 and back playing football after 6 weeks. All to plan, great job.

    Everything from the pre-op to the post-op went very smoothly and I couldn't have hoped for a better overall experience. Mr Dayo Adeyemo is very friendly, professional and obviously a good clean surgeon. The three small scars I have will probably be almost invisible in a few months. I had almost no pain after the operation, and just the odd ache, which, as explained to me, is to be expected. I would recommend Mr Dayo Adeyemo to anyone.

    Mr Adeyemo saved my life with his immense skill and I shall always be grateful. He is, in my books, an amazing sugeon and I recommend anyone who develops the same problems that I did (severe divertiular disease and a narrowed bowel) seeks help from this incredible man.

    First class attention and expertise from all the team. I was fast tracked with my diagnosis and therapy, and would not have been treated any faster or better had I gone privately. My experiences with Hereford hospital previously have always been top quality, from the cardiac unit to orthopaedics. I would like to thank Mr Adeyemo and his team for the excellent service they gave to me, and restoring me to full health.

  • 5/5

    I would like to thank Mr Adeyemo so very much for not just the operation that he performed on me that has healed and I am recovering very well, but for the very courteous and understanding interviews with me before and after the operation. Which when you get to 74 years of age and not had any major illness means a lot in giving me confidence in the surgeon that was going to carry out the operation. I should also like to thank all his team and the ward nurses that helped me . Again many thanks to you all. Definitely a five star review

    Mr Adeyemo was extremely thorough in explaining the reasons for the treatments that I required, the original loop ileostomy in May 2021 and the the subsequent reversal in August, as well as what the procedures would entail. Surgery and accompanying treatments appear to have been carried out very successfully and I was impressed by how well Mr Adeyemo kept me informed about my progress following my surgery.

    08/12/2021
  • 5/5

    Mr Adeyemo was very clear in explaining the diagnosis of my condition, and what treatment that he proposed to undertake, including pre-treatment prior to surgery. Everything was arranged through him at the Hereford Nuffield Hospital very efficiently and rapidly, allaying any concerns that I might have had about the proposed procedure. All appears to have gone well with the surgery and after-care that I received. Mr Adeyemo visited me on the recovery ward every day following the surgery and updated me fully on my progress and explained clearly what the next steps would be.

    I found him to professional and approachable. Prior to surgery he took into account my lifestyle and took this into consideration when the surgery was carried out.

    02/02/2021
  • 5/5

    We put complete trust in Mr Adeyemo in taking his advice that I needed to have the operation. He explained the reasons clearly and that he wouldn’t be able to tell us in advance whether he would be able to operate laparascopically or whether it would need to be open surgery and a reversible ileostomy. After the operation he phoned my husband immediately with an update and came to see me each day in hospital, and patiently answered all my questions.

    01/11/2021
  • 5/5

    My consultation today and previously was very useful, a discussion of my problem and my options were all very helpful and explained in detail in a way I could easily understand.
