The experience i had had at Hartlepool hospital and the after care was five star from the day I had my surgery to the day six weeks later when I was seen by the doctor and discharge I couldn’t have had better care thank you to everyone
I would like to express my gratitude to Mr Cattell and his team for his 5* treatment from start to finish. His quietly reassuring manner fills you with confidence and you know you are in safe hands. Just over 5 months ago I had a full left knee replacement and today I managed a club bike ride of 57 miles. I should add that I have been rigorous in doing the physio and exercises. Thanks
I was greatly impressed of the efficient and professional treatment I recieved
I had a referral to Dr Cattell when my GP was not listening to any of my concerns. I suffered with knee problems for nearly 2 years. I seen Dr Cattell and he was brilliant. Listened to my concerns, did a thorough assessment. He explained everything in detail of what to expect in surgery. He listened to what I wanted from the surgery. The overall treatment I had was fantastic, and I am very happy with my current results. I am now able to drive, return to work, and the pain has significantly improved.
Andrew was very clear in his thoughts and possible diagnosis. The planned course of action made sense and was coherent.
Amazing consultant, genuinely cares and looks after you .
Recently had an arthroscopy and Mr Cattell provided absolutely outstanding service…total gentleman
I would like to express my gratitude to Mr Cattell and his team for his 5* treatment from start to finish. His quietly reassuring manner fills you with confidence and you know you are in safe hands. Just over 3 months ago I had a full left knee replacement and today I managed my first club bike ride of 41 miles. I should add that I have been rigorous in doing the physio and exercises. Thanks again Andrew.
