Reviews
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.
Mr Waterson was very calm and assured whenever I saw him and was more than happy to explain any questions I had. I was very impressed by the fact that he came to see me several times while I was in hospital to check I was OK.
I found Mr Waterson to be very polite, clear in his explanation of my procedures and caring in his approach to the job.
Helpful and thorough at all times. Mr Waterson explained things in layman’s language, and I had total confidence in him.
Really nice chap who gave a detailed overview of process,the pro's and cons and after care expectations.
Mr Waterson was very pleasant and gave good explanation and answered any queries clearly.
