"Singing your praises"

About: Barlborough NHS Treatment Centre

I am not a "Spring Chicken" but an 82 year old and when asked by my GP where I would like to go, my immediate response was Barlborough where I had my right knee replaced in 2016 and I now needed a left knee replacement. I asked for the same surgeon ( and told him I needed a matching one!!) I had my initial examinations (MOT as I call it) on May 24th and later received a convenient date of July 23rd for the operation. I went down to the operating theatre at 9 a.m. and was back in my ward eating sandwiches and and drinking tea at 11a.m. The care and attention by every member of staff from the top to the bottom is second to none. I was allowed to stay three nights until I felt comfortable to return home in the care of my husband. I shall return to Barlborough next week for my six week "check up". My left knee is looking and feeling as good as my right knee and I have tried to do everything they advised me to do ( except perhaps reduce medication that I felt I did not need) and I am happy with the result. I had previously had two other small operations there so after four operations I feel that I can fully recommend Barlborough.
