Thank you for the immense change the bowel operation has meant in my life. Thank you for quite simply giving me my life back….” Patient Testimonial  “I feel it hard to express in words the enormous debt I owe to you for all you have done for me over the past seven years. When we first met, back in 2008, I was filled with fear and dread over my diagnosis and I remember, although you could not provide any miracles, you changed my outlook with your positive words and happy smile. I know that together, with the work of Mr Byrnes and Dr Conkey, I owe you my life. I told you once your hands were blessed and indeed they are. I thank you for the most recent operation you carried out on me. Already the colostomy has made such a difference to the improvement of my life…” Patient Testimonial  “I refer to my recent gallbladder removal operation… By way of background information I was extremely anxious prior to the surgery because I had waited in excess of one year for same. My gallbladder as Dr Beattie noted was ‘diseased’ and it’s removal was necessary. Dr Beattie was able to expertly ease my concerns due to his emphatic and understanding nature. Dr Beattie explained to me in great detail the entire surgery and all the risks associated with the same. At no point did I ever feel uninformed. My tricky operation was undertaken via key hole surgery and although my gall bladder was badly ‘diseased’ Dr Beattie successfully removed it without the necessity of open surgery due to his specialist skill and experience. And am very grateful that I was under the care of Dr Beattie. Overall my operation was a huge success with magnificent results. My recovery was rapid as my wounds have healed and my scarring is minimal. Dr Beattie provided excellent patient care and undoubtedly is a sincere, caring and highly skilled general surgeon. I cannot speak more highly of him. I am extremely pleased with the results and I have no hesitation in recommending Dr Beattie to anyone.”
