Put my mind at ease

"Put my mind at ease"

About: Dumfries & Galloway Royal Infirmary / Day Surgery Dumfries & Galloway Royal Infirmary / Trauma & orthopaedics

(as the patient),

Came in for knee op and all the nurses and surgeon were excellent. Put my mind at ease,  which made a great difference. The aftercare after surgery was spot on .

Dear Dossa 21

Thank you for your Care Opinion post.

I am so pleased to hear that you received reassurance to allow you to be comfortable with your procedure.

After care is very important, especially following surgery, and I am glad that you were followed up appropriately.

Thank you for your kind words, which will be disseminated to the Orthopaedic team, and I hope you are on the road to recovery.

Sending best wishes

Karen
