"Amazing care and experience - gastric pacemaker"

I was referred to Mr Glen for Gastric Pacemaker surgery and have to say he is one of the nicest consultants I’ve ever met.

Mr Glen and I had a telephone consultation following a referral from another surgeon at NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde and we agreed that the Gastric Pacemaker was a good path to go down.

I was admitted to Surgical Same Day Unit and from the minute I was admitted the care was amazing, The student nurse was lovely and actually took time to ask how I was feeling (I suspect she saw I was nervous), The nurse kept me up to date throughout the day to when I was taken down to theatres to theatre 1 by a lady called Megan who was so funny and made me feel relaxed and assured me I was under great care.

Dr Pollock was the anaesthetist looking after me. He knew again I was nervous as I admitted it and he was absolutely excellent! Such a friendly guy too. Can’t thank the theatre team enough for all that they did for me and for the friendliness shown.

The amazing care didn’t end there I was transferred to ward 9C following surgery where I stayed for 4 days. The nurses and auxiliaries simply were sensational. The care I was shown and the friendliness of everyone really helped me through a tough time.
