Hernia Clinic Hampshire provided excellent care and service. Mr James Kirkby-Bott and the team explained all my options and kept me well informed throughout my treatment putting my mind at ease and supporting me at every step. I am so pleased with the outcome and would not hesitate to return if I ever needed future treatment. Hazel Watson19 October 2025 The entire team at HCH were very responsive, helpful and informative. Keeping me updated and well informed throughout the process. Communications have been first class and fully comprehensive with all possible questions and queries well covered with sound advice. The procedure carried out quickly and with only the very slightest after effect which a couple of paracetamol sorted the day after surgery. Of particular note the recommended follow up exercises have been most helpful and I am sure aided the recovery process. I have no hesitation in recommending Hernia Clinic Hampshire Graeme Rees19 August 2025 Excellent repair of my hernia. Mr James Kirby - Bott did the operation under local anaesthetic. I was able leave the hospital within a couple of hours. There was no pain during or after the op. The care at the hospital was also very good. Would advise anyone with a hernia problem to consult Hampshire Hernia Clinic. Thank you. Keith Young13 August 2025 The Hampshire Hernia Clinic were very quick to respond to my enquiry. Within 2 weeks I had seen Mr Kirkby-Bott and made a plan for fixing my hernia that fitted in with my busy work life. I was always kept up to date with information and help around hernia surgery and best practices for recovery post surgery. I was surprised how quick my recovery was and I am really pleased with the results. I highly recommend the Hampshire Hernia Clinic. Will Cheyney2 June 2025 Excellent in all aspects. Great communication, and care pre-, peri- and post-operative. Thank you! Beyers Van Niekerk14 May 2025 Having put off my hernia operation off for more than 10 years I was at a crossroads where it was only going to hinder my life and not get any better. After biting the bullet I came across the Hernia Clinic and started the process, from the point of contact you could not ask for a more caring approach, I explained my situation and how I felt about hospitals etc and right off the bat I was assured. I then met with Dr Kirkby-Bott and he was just as calm and reassuirng as the front end, he listend to my fears and reassured me with how we should approch the final surgery and the day itself. The day itself arrived and as the start of the consult, it was excellent right from the moment I walked in the door, the spire team, the Aneathesist and his team, Surgey I was asleep but all worked so they must have been good to :) and into recovery. I'm half way through my recovery now and all is on the plus side, the recovery process described ny Dr Kirkby-Bott is how he said it would go. My advice to anyone, if you are putting off a repair then do not, contact the clinic today and start the steps to getting it repaired. I cannot express my gratitude enough to the team and Dr Kirkby-Bott Hernia Clinic and how the got me through it. Matt Wyatt22 March 2025 First class service smooth all the way through the operation Leonard Blake21 March 2025 Excellent service all around. The team are very friendly and know what they're doing. Worst part was waiting for the surgery. Felt a bit sore after the first few days, but honestly only some minor discomfort. 2 weeks later and healing has been going nicely - no problems at all. I warmly recommend Mr Kirkby-Bott and his team. Will Ellinger18 January 2025 Absolutely superb. Peter Reardon22 April 2024 An amazing service from beginning to end, headed up by a caring and compassionate surgeon who weighs up all the options, presents them to you in a clear and concise manner, and acts with amazing professionalism. For hernia repairs, I cannot recommend Mr Kirkby-Bott and his team enough! David MacLauchlan19 April 2024
