"Total Knee Replacement"

I returned home two weeks ago having undergone total knee replacement surgery. I should like to thank all the dedicated staff that make the Horder Centre a truly exceptional hospital experience. From my very first consultation through to discharge, I could not fault anything. This is a first class orthopaedic hospital/centre which should be congratulated on running an exceptional service to all.

I am grateful to the committed nursing team who showed real care and respect to all their patients; to the anaesthetists who explained the procedures so clearly and concisely and put me at ease; to the catering team who work tirelessly and patiently ensuring every patient gets exactly what has been ordered, always with a smile; to the fantastic physiotherapists who guided me through all the exercises and prepared me for a confident discharge.

Without doubt, I am indebted to my Consultant/Surgeon for his reassuring expertise, professionalism and outstanding skills.

FInally, I should also like to give special thanks to a fantastic Nurse who looked after me over my final two days. She was so caring and respectful, nothing was too much trouble, an excellent Nurse who ensured I was completely aware and confident before discharge. The Horder Centre is lucky to have her in their nursing team.

To anyone contemplating or worrying about a future knee replacement, I cannot recommend the centre highly enough.
