I saw Mr Wiggins as I had stomach pains for 18 months. I had been to see my doctor 3 times and then asked for a referral. Mr Wiggins diagnosed the issue and sorted out a scan followed by an operation in a short period of time and to fit in with my commitments. Following the operation all the pain has gone and I feel great. I was so impressed with his diagnosis skills and his professional, caring manner. I would recommend him,

I had a very good experience overall. Mr Wiggins was very professional, explanations were clear and I was able to ask questions. Each step of the process towards, after and having the operation felt smooth and straight forward. Mr Wiggins, the ward, anaesthetic, theatre and recovery teams were all very kind and supportive.

Great experience with Mr Tom Wiggins, after suffering for months with gallstones. I had my gallbladder removed on 7th January 2025. My life is now back on track. I was in so much pain and he was able to fit me in on his next available date which was not long at all, only a few weeks from initial seeing him. I felt at ease and could see a light at the end of the tunnel finally. Surgery was straight forward, explained throughout and reassured. My scars are neat and tidy and had a check in appt afterwards. Was always seen on time at each appointment was never left waiting. My surgery was done at the time given and was able to see Tom before and afterwards when asked. Thank you so much.
