Great listening manner, no frills, straight to the point. Having had confirmation via NHS Consultant, I was advised of a waiting period between twelve and twenty-four months. Not good enough for a me at aged seventy-eight and still very active. I was in a position to seek private treatment, choosing the Spire Hospital and able to choose my surgeon. I am type 2 diabetic and have other medical complications and was advised to take an overnight stay as part of the package. Spires arranged everything else I required including the Covid-19 testing and a very good pre-op medical. The surgery went well, and my recovery plan well worked. I have had a final consultation with the Prof which went well, excellent clear report, healing well. Would consult again if required; thanks Professor I am re-starting my normal life.

What a charismatic and charming man. Sorted out my hernia perfectly. For a professor and surgeon, very down to earth and absolutely approachable. We shared some great stories.

I would highly recommend Professor David M Lloyd, he removed my gallbladder 3 weeks ago & did a fantastic job , so glad I chose him .

After seven hours in my local A & E department I was told a large gallstone was causing the excruciating pain which had caused me to visit the hospital. I was advised to have my gall bladder removed,and told to await an outpatient appointment to see a specialist. At that time (mid-October) newspapers were reporting that many hospitals were cancelling routine procedures to clear wards in anticipation of an influx of Covid-19 patients, and I decided look into the possibility of arranging private treatment. It was my great good fortune to see Professor Lloyd's cv when researching online, and I contacted him by email. Very promptly I received a reply offering a consultation in less than a week. On meeting Professor Lloyd, I immediately felt at ease with his friendly manner and professional advice, and his thorough explanation of what would happen during the procedure. I felt confident to place my trust in his skills, and three weeks later I was admitted to Leicester Nuffield Hospital for a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The staff who looked after me at the hospital were caring and attentive and made sure my needs were anticipated and met. Professor Lloyd came to check on me after the operation, and again the next morning to ensure I was ready to go home. Two weeks later I saw Professor Lloyd for my follow up appointment, when he gave me full details about the sorry state my gall bladder had been in, and patiently answered my questions about future care. In summary, I would wholeheartedly recommend Professor Lloyd as an expert surgeon with excellent people skills.

Professor Lloyd has performed 2 separate hernia operations on me in the past 2 years, one keyhole and one with a longer incision. On each occasion I cannot speak highly enough about the care and attention I have been afforded throughout the whole procedures, from initial consultation, the operation itself and follow up consultation. On both occasions I have been able to return home within hours of the procedure without the need for any painkillers. I hope I have no need for future operations but, if so, I would not hesitate to consult Professor Lloyd again.

I had a Lloyd release procedure and everything about the operation was explained clearly to me by Professor Lloyd which was very reassuring. The post op consultation was also positive as I am healing nicely with no pain in the groin area, so thanks to Professor Lloyd again for the job well done and i can now get to play football again

This experience was very professional from the start to finish, having the procedure laparoscopically was very easy and I was totally back to normal in under two weeks now I can put this behind me and enjoy my retirement. I could not make any suggestions to improve any part of the process !! Thank you all very much.

We had excellent, friendly and professional treatment and care. Recovery has been swift and follow up appointment was prompt and again extremely professional. I would not hesitate to recommend Professor Lloyd. Thank you.

Professor David Lloyd is caring and considerate, knowing exactly how to help patients understand their medical issues and carefully explaining how he will treat their condition. He performed a Laproscopy surgery to treat my hernia and, just as he promised, I was able to return to my normal activities within a very short space of time. I would highly recommend Professor Lloyd and his team for their care and dedication to their patients.

I was very wise to choose The Spire, and Professor David Lloyd,I held back for quite a long time, rather because I was nervous about what surgery would involve, having been for a very long time without much pain, and capable to carry on with the usual reckoning that the hernia, simply pressed into place, would in some way be a mild nuisance. My wife persuaded me to have an operation, and I capitulated. I cannot be more pleased with this rare capitulation! Professor David Lloyd was very encouraging as a result of the initial consultation, and the operation itself went unbelievably smoothly. He is clearly a very skilled surgeon, and made my short time a very worthy decision. Professor Lloyd's engaging and professional approach to the whole procedure was exemplary. I am enormously grateful to him.

Professor Lloyd is a star. I had an open hernia repair last year which went wrong. Professor Lloyd re-did the hernia repair with key hole surgery and I feel great. The open operation was terribly painful ad I would not recommend it. I would like to thank Prof Lloyd for his kindness and surgical skills.

Professor Lloyd is brilliant! I am 84 yrs old and had a key hole hernia operation a few weeks ago. I didn’t take any pain killers and I can’t see any scars. He is very kind and friendly and I can’t recommend him highly enough. Thank you so much for being a brilliant surgeon.

Can I take this opportunity to thank you very much for giving me my life back! After seeing numerous doctors & consultants throughout the West of Scotland, all to no avail, you diagnosed me immediately and carried out your procedure to repair the ligaments. After suffering continuous pain and discomfort for over 4 years, I am now able to have a normal, pain free life. Thank you once again.

Both my wife and I have had surgery by Professor Lloyd, we would highly recommend him. We have every confidence in his abilities, he is a thorough professional and also a very nice person who is most understanding and explains things well. I would like to praise Professor Lloyd on the work he has done for my wife and I, as he has made us feel very comfortable throughout the whole procedure of both of our surgeries. During the difficult time of mine and my wife's illnesses and need for the operation that Professor Lloyd has carried out, his reassurance and kind personality has made this time a lot more bearable for us to go through. We cannot thank him enough for the hard work, dedication and time he has provided for us to help us gain our quality of health again.

Two weeks ago I had a cholecystectomy at the Spire Hospital in Leicester. Prof. Lloyd was my consultant for the procedure. He was extremely professional, kind, competent and reassuring, and I felt safe in his care. My operation went very well and I had very little pain post operatively. I have no pain at all now. My scars are miniscule and the bruising has gone. I have had pain and discomfort for a long time pre-operation, and now I realise I had not been very well for month, maybe more than a year. Now my gall bladder is removed I feel so well, and euphoric it has been resolved so well, so quickly, and with relatively little pain. I can highly recommend Prof Lloyd for giving the care and attention that everyone would like when unwell. I do not believe anyone could do better.

I write to say a massive thank you. Not only from myself for all the hard work and determination you have given to me to get me better; but also from my husband and children for giving them their wife/mummy back. The last 3 years of my life have been very difficult. I wasn't even aware I had cysts until the day I collapsed. Having been born with the complications that I had I was used to having issues. I just thought I'd put on a lot of weight and this was why I'd been in a lot of pain. You worked tirelessly to seek solutions and find a way to help me. Sometimes things worked for a short time and then something else crept up. Still you researched and came up with alternative options. On 28th September 2016 you performed the operation to remove the pump and redirect the pipe from my lower abdomen. Thankfully this appears to be working. I'm no longer retaining fluid for long periods of time. Yes I still get a build up if I've over exerted myself but after resting, this now drains away. This has been a difficult and tedious journey, for me; and I'm sure at times its been frustrating for you too. Thank you for sticking with me. In the nicest possible way, I hope we don't have to cross paths again. But if we do, I know I'll be in the safest hands. Thank you once again.

I would like to say a very big thank you to Professor David Lloyd for the Hernia Operation he performed. From the first appointment, through the operation and the after operation appointment, I cannot fault Professor Lloyd. He inspires confidence and puts you at ease. He explained everything clearly and concisely to me and took time to answer any questions I had and nothing was too much trouble. In all I found him to be an excellent surgeon, one of the best in his field and thoroughly nice man. I have no hesitation in recommending Professor Lloyd to anyone who is in need of an operation.

After many years of pain and specialists not knowing what my problem was or how to fix it, Prof Lloyd knew immediately what was causing the pain and has fixed it, something I thought would never happen. After having to leave my profession of dancing from this injury, I am now able to move freely once again. I will always be very grateful to Professor Lloyd for giving me back my quality of life.
