University of London College Hospital

"I did not realise how advanced medical and clinical skills had become. I saw some the highest level of practitioner skills I can ever imagine witnessing. Extraordinarily impressive."

Alberic Fiennes

"First of Mr. Fiennes (\"Mr.\" is English for top-notch doctor/surgeon) is no longer in Tooting. He is now practicing at University College London Hospital.rnrnMy first impression of him was that he was a brilliant, if rather idiosyncratic chap, pushed to the end of his tether by the amount of need for bariatric treatment that he saw: rather like the little boy in the who paddling on such an impossibly huge ocean.rnrnI first saw Mr Fiennes when he was practicing at St. George's hospital in Tooting. The staff I found quite difficult to deal with. I have come to understand that this was a function more of that hospital & some dysfunctional NHS big bureaucracy issues than Mr. Fiennes. In his new incarnation at UCLH, there is a different experience completely! And it is MUCH better.rnrnWhat I like most about Alberic Fiennes (besides his wicked and twinkling bright blue eyes) has something to do with his passion for his work. I suspect more of his patients give up on him than he ever gives up on! Being Mr Fiennes patient means belonging to him in a very real sense.rnrnI have no complaints at all about any facet of the care I have received. The information has been thorough: risks completely discussed, every aspect of dealing with him is about participating in a PROGRAMME that has a timeline direction and well-defined goals.rnrnMr. Fiennes is indisputably one of the most illustrious bariatric surgeons in the UK. His bedside manner is fine, however when someone is going to mess with your innards, hey boy, I want competence. And Mr. Fiennes delivers that in spades."
