Hi I seen you back in December again about my left knee we discussed a few options and you were going to discuss at the board I still haven’t heard anything as to what is happening I hope I don’t get passed around and left out the system for another 3 yrs
I was totally amazed and satisfied with my treatment by Mr Cattell at the Nuffield hospital. He has a really good relationship and bedside manner with patients. My operation was a total success and I walked un aided from the hospital the same day. A very affable and extremely excellent surgeon.
Dr Cattell was professional and extremely easy to communicate with during the whole process from diagnostics, surgery and through to aftercare.
I cannot rate Mr Cattell highly enough. From my first appointment to my last appointment he was incredibly patient and answered all of my questions in a way that I could understand so I felt confident going ahead with my operation and into my recovery.
All questions answered and clear expectation of outcome fully covered
So happy I can play golf again. Many thanks to you and your team for getting me back active again. Thank you 🙏
Excellent care received from Dr Cattell and his team. I was pain-free as soon as I had my knee surgery. Dr Cattell explains everything clearly and has a fantastic approach. I look forward to making a 100% recovery. A big thank you to Dr Cattell for fixing my knee.
