The surgery all went very well - I felt fortunate to benefit from robotic surgery and I was pleased to not need a stoma. The information from Mr Panteleimonitis and the team was all very clear, caring and helpful in guiding me through the treatment needed and likely outcomes. Despite some changes in my habits, I have recovered very well overall and I have been able to return to work full time in quite a demanding role. I am also grateful for the ongoing support from the colerectal nurses and a clearly structured surveillance schedule. I offer my heartfelt thanks for my excellent treatment.

From a personal point of view and no reflection on Doctor I found it difficult to make the decision to go ahead with surgery, Doctor was more than helpful in getting me a second professional opinion

All the stuff I dealt with are excellent caring perhaps a little bit more detail into the robotic. Surgery would’ve been good. I wasn’t expecting to see so many incisions but having glued rather than stitches was a good outcome.

My recent procedure did have one or two hitches . I had to be moved from Good Hope to Solihull Hospital and back again after the operation. This was handled as well as possible and I was kept informed of developments . My recovery took longer than anticipated but all through my stay at Good Hope Mr Panteleimonitis went out of his way to visit and reassure me that my condition would improve. Many thanks for your support.

Admitted to hospital with an acute blockage of bowel. Extremely painful. All staff involved in care were very professional., reassuring about plan of care. Mr Sofoklis Panteleimonitis was a constant source of empathy, providing a decisive course of surgical treatment that would benefit me in my recovery. He undertook a laparoscopic approach to release the adhesions. Together with the very clever anaesthetists and the wonderful ward staff I made a quick and speedy recovery. I am so grateful to the whole team..
