Mr Jonathan Webb

Orthopaedic Surgeon

5 months ago, in July-2025, Jonathan Webb and his team performed a Total Knee Replacement (known as a TKR) on my left knee. I could not have wished for a better experience and outcome. If anyone reading this post is considering a TKR and is choosing a surgeon I honestly don't think you will find a better option. I'm 65 years old and have had a pretty active and sporty life - but nothing hugely out of the ordinary. A year ago my [old] knee was beginning to give up - I was walking with a limp, stairs were getting difficult and cycling / other activities were getting so difficult that I was doing less and less. My life was being heavily impacted by my knee and it felt like my world was getting smaller and harder. An MRI confirmed that my knee joint was at its end of life - the cartilage was gone and arthritis was active. The NHS, for all the good that it does, was going to be a long wait and I also learned that you, the patient, don't get to choose your surgeon. So I decided to go privately. I met with a few surgeons and made an easy decision to work with Jonathan. He was engaging, caring, deeply experienced and had even had a TKR himself (do read the blog on his website... it's a good representation). Recovering after the operation is quite testing. The knee replacement is a major bit of surgery - it takes quite a long time to recover and there's quite a bit of pain during the first month or two. But if you take the painkillers properly, use the ice packs, elevate your leg and do the physio exercises (which make a big difference to your recovery) then you should come through it with a new knee and, speaking for myself, a new life. So, 5 months on from the operation, I'm doing all the things I did 10+ years ago. I'm back to taking the dog on long remote walks, long cycle rides and doing all the things I thought I'd never do again. Honestly - having the TKR has transformed my life. Most importantly, I believe that Jonathan Webb (and his team) is largely responsible for my hugely positive outcome. I've spoken with lots of people who've had a TKR and the ones who've been treated by Jonathan all seem to have had a better experience and a better outcome. Quite apart from the physical side, meeting and working with Jonathan was also superbly enjoyable and, at times, great fun. He's a great bloke as well as the most highly skilled surgeon (IMHO). I did and would again trust Jonathan with my knee and also, in fact, my life. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Mr Nick Ohly

Orthopaedic Surgeon

When I went for the original consultation I had requested Mr Ohly on the recommendation of a friend whose hip he had replaced. I had deliberately not looked up his credentials as I wanted the first hand impression. (Of course I would follow this up subsequently.) At the initial meeting I liked his approach. He covered a lot of ground in language which was accessible to someone not at all clear on how bad my knee was, far less what could be done. I was not talked down to, and thus I felt able to ask questions, the answers to which I really wanted to know in order to look at how I was going to manage the whole business mentally and physically. I knew so little at that point, but in the following months I read and slowly became clear on what was about to happen. During that time I sent him a few emails and his responses were always prompt and thorough. I was scheduled for the operation in early October, but for reasons beyond his control, it had to be postponed. None of my preparation had included that possibility. Having geared myself up for it, I was extremely distressed at this turn of events. Mr Ohly took time to talk me through the situation and reassure me. He could have left it to someone else, but he did not. By the time I got to the operation I had full confidence in him because of how he had treated me as a human being. He knew I was scared and he managed that very well. I was not dismissed. When he came to see me after the operation he was professional and kindly. I was just relieved. In my follow up meeting he very shrewdly picked up on my concerns and dealt with them well. Seven weeks on I can see a future which I had thought was disappearing as my life shrank to cope with the pain I was enduring. I will never climb Mount Everest but I can climb stairs, something I could only do with extreme distress two months ago.

Professor Sanjiv Jari

Orthopaedic Surgeon

This is my second knee replacement under Professor Jari at Spire Hospital and I am highly delighted with the result. I had my left knee replaced in 2021 and my right knee replaced in November 2025, both under Professor Jari using the Maco Robotic Surgery technique. I understand Professor Jari has performed many knee replacements using this Maco Robotic Surgery. I have had no issues with healing or infections following my surgery and the recovery is going very well. After just three weeks in recovery I am no longer using crutches for support and my Physio Therapist has signed me off as I have full mobility in my knee. Professor Jari does set a strict exercise programme which in my opinion is the key to full mobility and a quicker recovery time. I would strongly recommend anyone who is thinking of having a Knee replacement to consider the Maco Robotic Surgery under Professor Jari at the Spire Hospital. This surgery is more accurate, less painful and a quicker recovery time. I have friends who have had knee replacements done via a surgeon and they have taken much longer to recover and in some cases suffered issues following their surgery. I can only speak from my own experience but both my knee replacements are perfect. The icing on the cake for me is Professor Jari has managed to straighten both my legs so I am no longer bow legged, perfect! Stephen W

From my initial appointment with Mr Hoo, I felt all my questions were answered and felt at ease, from the onset I knew I would choose Mr Hoo as my surgeon. I had done a lot of research for my procedure and felt reassured from my initial appointment. Pauline (Mr Hoo’s nurse) was also very informative and patient regarding any questions which I had. My surgery was booked and due to unforeseen circumstances had to rescheduled, Brenda in appointments was very helpful and offered me a cancellation slot which I was very thankful for. On the day of surgery, I was admitted into the admission pod and here all staff were attentive, I met with the anaesthetist and Mr Hoo and thereafter went to theatre. The theatre nurse and anaesthetist were so lovely, talked me through everything and I felt reassured. Thereafter, in the recovery ward, the nurse was excellent when asked about pain, I was immediately given pain meds which eased the pain and brought upstairs to a room which the excellent care continued. Mr Hoo came to see me and answer any further questions, truly 5* service from the onset. The hospital was spotless and attention to detail by all staff was exceptional.

Mr Andrew Pieri

Breast Surgeon

I am now 8 weeks post op following breast augmentation surgery performed by Mr Andrew Pieri. I am already in love with the results! They are beautifully natural and suit my shape perfectly. I could not have asked for anything more and Mr Pieri has 100% understood what I was hoping to achieve. From the initial consultation to surgery day, I have felt completely relaxed and taken care of. The recovery has been much better than expected and the aftercare received from Andrew and his team has made me feel completely at ease. From the moment I met Andrew I knew the entire process was going to be everything I was looking for and I was absolutely right! I feel so blessed to have had Andrew perform my surgery. It has changed my life and I couldn't be happier! Mr Pieri is incredibly talented and focused on achieving the best possible outcome. Excellent standard of care and professionalism throughout - 100% recommend Mr Andrew Pieri and his team! Thank you so much ❤️

Optegra Eye Hospital Hampshire

Ophthalmology

Pleasant waiting area with self-service drinks available. Within an hour you are called and escorted into the preparation/recovery room where you are prepared for the operation and the procedure is explained including a visit from the surgeon to check if you have any questions. The operation takes place in the adjacent theatre where again efforts are made to keep you informed as to what’s happening and before you know it you are escorted back to your recovery area for water and a biscuit. Staff were pleasant and attentive at all times. Once thoroughly checked out you return to the waiting area to be collected by your escort who has already been called to say your are ready for collection. I was back home within 2 hours

Ms Sophie Corbett

Dietitians

I have been Sophie’s client for the last 6 months. In that time I have felt my relationship with food and my confidence in myself grow. She has helped me change the beliefs I hold about food and helped me on the road to recovery from anorexia. As an autistic person, I have struggled in the past with connecting with health professionals but Sophie adapts the sessions to meet my needs. She always sends notes after our sessions which is useful in making sure I keep track of what I should be doing.

as ever, the administration has let your business down. i had an MRI scan at Cleveland Victoria at 1000hrs and the outcome should have been given to Neurologist Dr Richard Perry. Having had more than 35 minutes consultation, i asked about the MRI scan and it had not been sent to him. as a result, we had to have a lunch around the corner and had to return an hour later to continue the consultation. I have complained a number of times about the poor administartion. this is yet another.

Mr Darmarajah Veeramootoo

General Surgeon

I had my endoscopy at Clare Park. Before the procedure Mr Veramootoo came in to see me and gave a clear explanation of what would happen. He knew I was apprehensive and nervous so I was more at ease and reassured after talking to him. The procedure went well and I felt looked after during and after. I would highly recommend Mr Veramootoo for is professionalism but also for his caring and attentive manner that made me feel understood and listened to.

I had a telephone consultation with Dr Rakesh Patel today. He was kind, understanding, positive, practical and clear. He took a thorough history and was very empathetic, offering realistic suggestions on lifestyle strategies as well as medical support. I have a clear plan of action and would feel confident in recommending Dr Patel to anyone else wanting a warm, well-informed and efficient experience.

Mr Vik Kapoor

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Kapoor gave very clear explanations of my condition, the treatment options and what outcomes might result. He was reassuring in dealing with any concerns that I might have. Following the operation he was clear in setting out the limits of activity and the timescale for recovery. I'm very grateful to Mr Kapoor for his care and skill as a surgeon which have greatly improved my life

The Westminster Maternity Suite

I thoroughly enjoyed staying in The Westminster Maternity Suite twice, after delivering my babies. The care, cleanliness, privacy, personal space and food are fantastic. I had really enjoyed staying there for the recovery after giving birth. The views of Big Ben both times were an amazing bonus for the night feeds of my newborn.

Wonderful experience at ACE, where my son has been attending OIT appointments. The centre is welcoming and full of books and toys to keep us entertained through the appointment. The staff are knowledgeable and kind, we feel very lucky to benefit from their experience. Most importantly, the treatment seems to be working!

Mr Surajit Mitra

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Mr Mitra’s care and attention has been positively life changing for me, eliminating my condition of heavy periods by endometrial ablation, and thus improving my quality of life very significantly. He is compassionate as well as a trusted expert in his field. My most recent visit was no exception in demonstrating this.

Recently attended HCA Harborne as an inpatient. Every member of staff from the nurses, the caterers and the cleaner was incredibly professional. Nice room which was, as you’d expect, spotless. Nobody wants to be in hospital but HCA make the whole experience a stress free as possible
