From the moment I entered the health centre I was looked after treated properly and with respect by some amazing team members
The service was prompt, professional and friendly. Hernia surgery, done under local anaesthetic, was made so much easier to get through by the chattiness and sympathetic approach of all concerned. The follow up phone call this morning was equally supportive.
Mr Morley and the team, are just wonderful. So friendly and the advice they give to explain the do's and don'ts is very clear.
Can not fault the service and care I have received.
In modern and clean premises I was seen on time and had every confidence in the advice I was given by the consultant surgeon who was most professional.
Appointment was given within 3 weeks of referral. On time that I was seen. The Consultant had an excellent bedside manner. Great listening skills and importantly I felt heard. Reassured me.
The appointment ran on time, and the staff were very efficient and friendly. I thought the surgeon was first class.

Why we choose local anaesthetic first
Unlike most surgical providers who default to general anaesthesia, Independent Health Group specialises in local anaesthetic surgery. This isn’t a compromise, it’s a better approach for the right patients.
Safer
Local anaesthetic significantly reduces the risks associated with general anaesthesia. No grogginess, and fewer complications. Your safety is always our priority.
Faster
Without general anaesthesia, there's no lengthy recovery period. Most patients are home within hours of their procedure and back to normal activities much sooner.
Better value
Our streamlined, efficient process means we can offer competitive pricing for private patients and shorter waiting times for NHS patients. Quality care shouldn't cost more.
Patient safety always comes first. If you’re not suitable for local anaesthetic surgery following your assessment, we’ll ensure you’re supported to access the right care through our trusted partner providers.
