Kind compassionate staff. Kept informed

No issues , very quick response

On my first visit to the department on 17 March 2022 (after knee surgery for a Patellofemoral joint replacement on 14 March 2022) I was introduced to Chinyelu. Her immediate reaction to me could not have been less welcoming. Unfortunately she remained this way for the whole of the 45 minute appointment. I had already had 3 left hip replacements so I was used to pain but the pain of a partial knee replacement is far worse. I explained to her that I was in a lot of pain and her reaction was ‘you will be’, absolutely no effort to give me advice as to how I could make myself more comfortable. She then proceeded to make me lift my leg (impossible) and also bend it (impossible). I was feeling very vulnerable when I attended the appointment and really needed some support and I received none. My husband was in the car park when I came out and I cried. This is not like me. Since then I have been very fortunate to mainly see Sarah who is one of the very best physiotherapists I have ever met (as you can imagine this is an extremely strong recommendation if you look at my medical history) who is always warm and friendly and gets the best out of me. I have also met G on a couple of occasions who has been an excellent replacement for Sarah.

Feeling vulnerable and in pain following surgery, it is comforting to have pleasant and kind staff not only nursing and doctors but housekeeping and catering staff were very kind and considerate.

My daughter ( age 14) has been seen a few times now with an injury to her back and Lizzie has been amazing handling her well and helping her heal from not being able to perform in cheerleading and doing her backward walkovers ! She is healing well and slowly bending again! Thank you so much for your expertise. X

Dr Maria Nyekiova was very kind, considerate and attentive. I felt that she thoroughly understood my needs; and that she is a very experienced doctor. She gave very good explanations of everything that was required for my problems and I am very pleased that I booked in to see her.

I was greatly impressed by the dedication, professionalism and sympathy displayed by all those who carried out the procedure

It was what I wanted. I got a diagnosis, and a temporary treatment plan until I’m able to be sent for a scan

Very friendly receptionists

Very professional and high standards of patient care
