I HAD THE GOOD FORTUNE TO BE REFERRED TO THIS SURGEON FOLLOWING MY SEVERE CAR ACCIDENT. I STARTED OUT IN THE PUBLIC HOSPITAL UNDER HIS CARE AS THE SENIOR CONSULTANT AND THEN TRANSFERRED TO HIM AS A PRIVATE PATIENT. AS A SURGEON HE HAS RETURNED ME TO A PLACE WHERE I CAN NOW RETURN TO SOME FORM OF MEANINGFUL WORK. HE WAS SUPPORTIVE THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS OF 3 SURGERIES AND I WAS ALWAYS FULLY INFORMED AT EVERY STEP OF T HE WAY. HIS OFFICE DEALT WITH MY INSURER AT EVERY STEP OF THE WAY FOR WHICH I AM ETERNALLY GRATEFUL. I CANNOT RECOMMEND DR MCCOMBE AND HIS PRACTICE HIGHLY ENOUGH. THANK YOU.

Dr McCombe has been looking after my sad and sorry degenerative spine for a large part of my adult life. He has performed both cerrvical and lumbar disc replacements and lumbar fusions. I still work. I still lead an active and full life. I put it down to his care and attention, knowledge and professionalism. He is dedicated to his work and I have only ever observed him treat his patients with respect. I have always found his support staff supportive and sympathetic. I do not normally comment on these types of anonymous websites but I accidentally found this one and felt compelled to set the record straight. The man a few have described here is not the doctor I know. Jan Ellis

Got an appointment easily. Staff helpful and polite. Dr Peter was knowledgeable and supportive throughout the treatment process. Had successful surgery and results beyond my expectation. Back at work full time. I found beside manner straight to the point, honest with no quibbling – exactly what I wanted.

Dr Peter McCombe is always late for appointments plus that he has NO bedside manner is rude and a bad surgeon

Great surgeon, Tells you how it is and does not dress things up. I had high risk thoracic spine surgery and thankfully all went well and I am back at work. Dr McCombe and staff were supportive throughout the process. I highly recommend the practice. If you want a new best friend or touchy feely medicine don’t bother. If you want expertise and truth and ethical treatment you are in the right place. Check out his website and credentials if you want the facts.

I had the misfortune of having this rude and arrogant doctor perform a back operation on me for a bulging fractured disc With complications arising whilst having tubes removed ended up in ICU for 2 days then up on ward had to chase him up constantly to get him to see me Finally when he did ( myself being very emotive after anaesthesia and realisation of having failed surgery) he called me an emotional female and would not deal with me Two more days he finally reappears and tells me to go home and come back in a fortnight to have my back fused to fix it! Released from hospital with massive chest infection and later in a follow up surgery visit he had said I had caught the flu whilst at home and this only exacerbated the healing process and made my pain worse When I questioned him on the results, outcome and long term prognosis he told me to accept a payout go on the pension and buy myself a wheelchair as I would need it This man has absolutely no bedside manner, ignores your questions and concerns and if things don’t work blames you or tells you nothing can be done I definately do not recommend him
