On my first visit to the department on 17 March 2022 (after knee surgery for a Patellofemoral joint replacement on 
14 March 2022) I was introduced to Chinyelu.  Her immediate reaction to me could not have been less welcoming.  Unfortunately she remained this way for the whole of the 45 minute appointment.  I had already had 3 left hip replacements so I was used to pain but the pain of a partial knee replacement is far worse.  I explained to her that I was in a lot of pain and her reaction was ‘you will be’, absolutely no effort to give me advice as to how I could make myself more comfortable.  She then proceeded to make me lift my leg (impossible) and also bend it (impossible).  I was feeling very vulnerable when I attended the appointment and really needed some support and I received none.  My husband was in the car park when I came out and I cried.  This is not like me.  

Since then I have been very fortunate to mainly see Sarah who is one of the very best physiotherapists I have ever met (as you can imagine this is an extremely strong recommendation if you look at my medical history) who is always warm and friendly and gets the best out of me. 

I have also met G on a couple of occasions who has been an excellent replacement for Sarah.

Gennai was very patient with me, she persevered with me and together she helped me become far more mobile.  She saved me from needing surgery.  Very professional throughout, encouraging and caring.  Highly recommend 

Really great and appropriate to my condition 

My physio was G. She was excellent and brought me through quite a painful elbow that I had. All cleared now

I had a very good experience here with the Physio team and have made much more of of recovery thanks. A special thanks to my physio Gennai who help so much and made a very difficult situation with my injury very easy with her experience, motivation and direction. Ten stars to her for sure!

Could not fault the whole experience from friendliness and efficiency of check-in right through.
Very professional and friendly physio Sarah struck the perfect balance between being friendly and making sure you did what was required. An incredibly positive experience and highly recommended.
