Excellent friendly and informative, good with explanations
Top rate service. Incredibly knowledgeable and settled the nerves from my swimmer. Got to the bottom of what has been happening and he’s now back in the water.
I was able to explain my injury in full, together the exercise I take, which may have contributed to my condition. Reassured me I would be back doing Parkruns in the New Year.
Dr Jones is very good at asking the right questions to get as much information as possible. He’s clear and concise with his answers and explains things in a way that is very easy to understand.
Dr Jones was very helpful and supportive. He provided clear guidance on how to recover from and rehabilitate from a back injury which we had been struggling to obtain prior to being under his care.
Absolutely brilliant, Alastair listened and came up with a plan, and I can now walk with no pain at all
Dr Alastair Jones has been incredibly helpful throughout my injury, from diagnosis to recovery. Dr Jones was quick to recognise the symptoms of my tibial stress response and quickly arranged an MRI scan to confirm this diagnosis. He is clearly a very experienced professional and was able to explain the recovery process and helped facilitate the next steps to recovery at pace. His advice was clear and helpful and allowed me to return to running without any complication. Thank you again Dr Jones!
Alistair offered me hope for recovery when the original surgeon I saw was very pessimistic, I found his depth of knowledge of my condition very reassuring . His chair side manner is friendly whilst at the same time very professional. I would definitely recommend him and hope to return to see him for further treatment if necessary.
Dr Jones has been very helpful. He explained everything clearly and provided me with all necessary treatment and advice for my recovery.
