Follow-up visit, as always very thorough and explained issues in an easy to understand way.
The outcome, despite not being straightforward, following my total knee replacement , was far better than I expected and recovery much quicker.
Mr Waterson gave a clear explanation of the replacement knee procedure and what to expect during rehab.
A very confidence-inspiring surgeon, who put me at my ease at all times before, during and after surgery.
Professional friendly. I felt very comfortable and cared for at all times. Thank you for all your kindness.
