Mr Day is a very talented and dedicated surgeon. His skills are very advanced as are his decision making abilities. I would have no issue with him operating on me. Fantastic Day!!!

Andrew Day carried out a double hernia operation on me at Nuffield Haywards Heath. At the initial consultation he carefully explained the procedure and discussed possible risk factors. At all times he was approachable and friendly. The operation went smoothly with a rapid recovery. I am very happy with the care I was given.

I’d like to say how happy I was with the whole event, from visiting Mr Day in 2021 to seeing him today.
The care I was shown from my arrival at Spire Gatwick for the procedure until leaving was excellent.
It was nice not to be rushed to leave and being able to change in the comfort of my own room made such a difference and of course the tea and biscuits helped a lot!
Please pass on my thanks to everyone who looked after me, especially Mr Day.

The whole process from pre operation to admissions and to theatre at East Surrey was excellent, overseen by a doctor that I had full trust and faith in. I am now 3 weeks after a high anterior resection and glad to say that am well on the road to a full recovery due to the professionalism of my operation and of Dr Day
