Name: Patricia H. H. Patient ID: xxxxxxx Consultant: Mr Graham Bailie On Monday 8 December 2025 I visitied No. 6 Lisburn Road to have my wound reviewed. I recently had a full hip replacement with a wound on my hip with approximately 10 staples. The wound was reveiwed and reported that it was mending very satisfactorily. The original dressing on the wound was 30cm x 10cm. When the nurse was finishing examining the wound, she replaced the dressing with a smaller one - 15.5cm x 8.5 cm. She Spent some time stretching the smaller dressing to get it to cover all the staples in the wound. That evening, I experienced great pain with my wound. When I touched it through my clothing, the skin was extremely tender. Eventually, I removed the dressing to find extensive bruising at either side of the wound. It appears, that by stretching the smaller dressing to cover the staples, the wound itself had become extremely aggravated and angry. I replaced the dressing with a larger dressing. Within a few hours, the pain had subsided. However, 4 days later, the bruising is still present. I cannot understand why the nurse chose to use a smaller dressing which obviously caused great discomfort/aggravation to the wound. Having made a great recovery since the operation, this was a major setback to such a successful recovery.

The Joint Injection Clinic

Diagnostics & Testing, Imaging (Scans), + 4 more

A month ago I had the arthrosamid injection. I had never heard of it and initially I went online to find out how others were treating their oesteoarthritis. I found the Joint Clinic quite quickly and was amazed to read that this injection would last about 3 years rather than 3 months for the NHS cortisol injection. My knee was causing a lot of pain especially when the weather changed. I was unable to walk properly, I couldn't walk up or down stairs. My work involves walking and I really thought I would have to retire because of the pain. From day 2 of the injection, I was beginning to walk without as much pain, about 2 weeks later I wasn't limping or experiencing pain at all. It took about 3 weeks to be able to walk up and down stairs without pain. I no longer need anti inflammatory drugs (that was always hit or miss if they would work). I am very pleased with the outcome at the one month mark and I hope my knee pain is no more for years!

Mr Adam Critchley

Breast Surgeon

I recently had a breast lift and augmentation with Adam after significant weight loss, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. At 20, I was nervous about such a big decision, and I’ve always struggled with low confidence, but Adam made me feel informed, supported, and confident from the very first consultation. He was thorough in explaining my options, realistic about expectations, and patient with every question I had. For the first time in years, I feel normal again—like myself. I can finally look at my reflection in the mirror without the negative feelings I used to have, and it’s been incredibly freeing. This surgery has truly had a life-changing impact on my confidence. I’m so thankful for Adam’s exceptional skill, kindness, and professionalism, as well as his wonderful team for all their care and support throughout the process.

Miss Deepika Akolekar

Breast Surgeon, General Surgeon

I approached Miss Akolekar on October 25th.for a second opinion, recommended by BUPA. She immediately assessed my situation and within a week had organised an Ultrasound scan (then a PetScan) and appointments with an oncologist, a haematologist and a plastic surgeon. The plastic surgeon and his specialist nurse initiated a wound dressing regime which healed my mastectomy wound in just over a week (a wound that had remained open and infected since early August). Miss Akolekar kept me fully informed throughout these appointments, telling me the possible outcomes and filling me with confidence that my situation was reparable. She was always kind, professional and empathetic.

Clarity - Coventry

Gastroenterology, Ophthalmology

There was a massive time delay in getting my discharge letter/documents After lots of emails to Binley and Coventry ( possibly some to “ differing addresses “ , I admit ) phone calls ( no call backs as promised) I eventually received an email from Binley with the discharge document attached IT WAS WRONG ! I have asked for another ACCURATE letter I feel “ a look into “ your ADMINISTRATIVE SYSTEMS should be immediately undertaken Angela said she would “ close my file “ , perhaps a shade early considering the happenings By the way your documentation quotes a 15 minute walk from Coventry Railway station to your Binley site …..,…… MORE LIKE AN HOUR !

Jessica was my consultant for my hip arthroscopy surgery, and I couldn’t have asked for better care. My recovery came with several complications and turned into a long, complex journey, but Jessica supported me every step of the way and got me back on track after seven months of intense physio. She was truly amazing. I deeply appreciated her positive, human approach and the time she took to build a genuine relationship with me as a patient. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you, Jessica!

Mr Vivek Gulati

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Gulati has a very wonderful and empathetic manor which made me feel at ease as I was very stressed over the pain of my injury. He could see that I was practically immobile and rushed me through the process and squeezed me in to have my MRI and operation. I was kept informed by Hollie with every detail through out the process. I can not thank Mr Gulati and Hollie enough for his professionalism, courtesy and bedside manor.

Mr Anthony Murphy

Podiatrist

Mr Murphy was extremely efficient and effective. He advised me that the local anaesthetic was the worst part (he was right) but what struck me was how swiftly (and painlessly) he adjusted BOTH big toe nails. I was pleasantly surprised to be walking out without any pain or complications after 30 minutes. Thank you Anthony, and thank you also for the post operative advice you sent to me to assist a full recovery

Once the procedure had been completed, the discomfort totally dissipated and l haven't felt any pain at all since - none whatsoever!

Mr Azhar Khan

Urologist

Having any sort of surgery can be scary , but Mr Khan's relaxed and professional manner , put me at ease.
