Was delighted to have the confidence to get in my car today and drive.Cannot thank Mr ashmre enough post op only 6 weeks and my normal life is back on track.Being a widow the thought of further isolation was a concern. So thankyou
Excellent experience, Mr Ashmore’s very professional and informative approach gave me total confidence throughout.
First rate service mr Ashmore attentive and explained things clearly
Mr Ashmore was very helpful and honest with regard to my future. I was glad to get the injection and feel much better. I explained to Mr Ashmore that I was living with the stiffness and adjusting my habits accordingly.
Mr Admire has a very pleasant manner and is excellent at explaining things. I would thoroughly recommend him
Mr Ashmore was very professional and approachable explaining the hip replacement thoroughly both pre and post surgery
My operation was incredibly text book . The whole team , headed by mr Ashmore took great care of me . Felt completely informed and cared for . Now my op has turned out to be a dream , and I’m well on the way to recovery. Honestly pain was minimal, if you follow instructions and keep yourself drugged up for the 1st 2 weeks . (with pain killers). By week 3 I stopped all pain drugs including paracetamol. So the operation was 1st class. I’m told I’m lucky, absolutely no complications so my op has appeared to be so boringly straightforward , but I know I’ve been lucky . If you are able to do as many exercises as you can before the op . It will help your recovery. Oh and finally, I didn’t realise how big an operation a hip replacement is . It’s dramatic for your body , and even if you are fit it’s at least a six month recovery . If you can afford it , come to the ridgeway , I recommend me Ashmore obviously , come open eyed it’s a big op .
Hospital excellent, consultant & staff very caring. Meals well prepared, good menu choices. Recovery team patient, friendly. Would recommend a patient having an epidural is equipped with absorbent disposable pants immediately after their op(ie in recovery). I felt humiliated to find I had unknowingly saturated the bedding back on ward & it had to be changed. Physio excellent too. Now pain free. A.1. Experience.
Alex is a hardworking, diligent surgeon with an excellent reputation. I would be very happy if my friends or family were under his care.
