'As one of your breast implant patients I would like to thank you and the other County surgeons for your swift response to the PIP crisis (Gloucestershire Echo - 22nd December 2011). It was so reassuring to be informed quickly that no women treated on the NHS or at the Cheltenham Nuffield Hospital had had PIP implants for either cosmetic or reconstructive surgery. The early clarification of the situation in Gloucestershire meant that the worry was removed immediately for many women, such as myself.

When a situation like this arises and everything is thrown into doubt, it is reassuring to know that the expertise and care that we all witnessed first hand still carries on tirelessly in the background on our behalf.' Mrs JM, Cheltenham

'Thank you so much for all your kindness and support' Mrs PP, Cheltenham

'Thank you for being so positive and life affirming' Mrs SH, Cheltenham

'We just wanted to say a very big thank you for all you have done for me, and for all the attention I have received. We are so thrilled with the results.' Mrs GB, Cheltenham

'Thank you so much for all your professional care and kindness during my recent consultations and surgery for breast cancer. I consider myself fortunate to not only having such a skilled surgeon, but also an extremely nice man treating me.' Mrs ME, Cheltenham

Thank you again for your expert surgery and care. I am so pleased and just wish I had done it ten years ago now! Thank you for giving me a D cup size. Miss JR, France

'Many thanks for all your kindness. I am really thrilled with my new assets!' Mrs NW, Cheltenham
