Dear Mr Griffiths,

thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback.

Firstly well done for joining a gym and losing so much weight. It is always a difficult thing to do but you have shown real commitment.

You chose to come to Peninsula as there was a long wait for surgery. Fortunately Care UK and the NHS work closely in partnership and we can step in to ensure patients are treated as swiftly as possible.

Your pre-assessment was a one stop appointment but to achieve this it can be long appointment and I thank you for your patience and understanding. So glad you were able to be offered a short notice operation.

You appear to be making an excellent recovery from you hip operation and are doing exceptionally well.

Should you ever need our services again we would be delighted to see you.

all the very best.

the Peninsula Team.
