Mr Billie is a genuine person who shows an amazing passion for his work and his patients wellbeing, from the moment I was introduced to Mr Billie I felt at ease. He takes time to listen to his patients and he fully explains all procedures in layman's terms which helps keep you at ease. Mr Billie visited me most days post operation, sometimes twice a day. His passion for his work shines through and is reassuring for any patient, this passion is clearly infectious to those that work with or alongside him and he is a true professional in all aspects. If Mr Billie is recommended to you, then grab the opportunity with both hands!

Dr Bille is the best, an excellent surgeon, highly skilled technically and also a very good communicator (fantastic bed side manner - easy going and not pompous ) which is rare in a doctor. He clearly explains everything including surgical treatment options, pain levels, scarring, (my scars are minimal - neat and discreet). I had an enlarged thymus and was in panic mode when I met him but he is very calm and controlled as he knows his stuff which I found calming. I really can’t fault him, he is a superb doctor and a lovely man, empathic and just very very good at his job, I can’t rate him highly enough.
