This is a brilliant surgery... If you are healthy and don't need them. If you do, different story. Trying to book an appointment is almost comical. Online, there are so many options to tick that I feel there is an AI there ready to diagnose me. Then, you (may) get a callback, most likely from a receptionist that would have to assess how urgent is the care required. You finally see somebody, after a couple of weeks. I have knee pain from arthritis, but there is no chance of surgery since I am a smoker ( as far as I know its not a knee transplant), and I have been told that straight to my face. Injections? I am probably past that, same reasoning for refusal. But feel free to get in touch... And exercise. Unfortunately, my body tells me otherwise, and in order to cope with a job that requires me on my feet, I have become sedentary, because of the constant pain, whether I am walking, going up or down the stairs or lying in bed. It took 1 year for a folow up after I have been sent to an MRI. Apparently my GP left. So, don't count on systems and procedures that insure continuity.
I wish I had a better review, but, with the kind of pain I am in only a cigarette will calm me down (I don't like painkillers).
Stay healthy.
