Anything else?

one of the best teams mine was feet, this time (due to poilio as a child) treated with utmost dignity, and care,theatre staff excellent above and beyond, and the best foot surgeon i could say in the country his attitude 'Its my job, you don't have to thank me' i had a problem it was no trouble arranged to see me quickly ,was not happy so i was placed into emergency surgery and seen too straight away late on a friday, i was treated the theatre staff new i was afraid and supported me all the time and kept me calm, i was kept in overnight and next morning first thing Mr patterson was on the ward explaing everything and making sure i was okay, i expect this is something in private hospitals but not here, i wish there was another way to thank him and his team.

he carried out ops i never knew was available, so suffered in silence a referal from the knee surgeons they are great i have heard no bad things here you are safe, be confident they do look after you

Thank you for telling us about your positive experience with your surgery. It will be reassuring for future patients that the goals we set about ensuring patients are kept informed; about efficient systems and the professional attitude of staff, are being achieved. We have passed this on to the staff concerned
