From initial consultation through surgery and to follow up appointment. Mr Allen has been professional, informative and helpful. He made an excellent job of my total knee replacement to the extent that at 6 weeks I was discharged from physio with no pain, minimal swelling and great range of movement. Everything went as planned and I can now walk again. Thank you, Mr Allen

Mr Allen performed my hip replacement surgery. I found him direct and easy to talk to, and I received the information I felt I wanted/needed about the procedure. I am now ten weeks post surgery, and it is making such a difference to be able to stand up and walk without the pain or the limp, and I am looking forward to walks in the country again. I would certainly recommend Mr Allen to others, and would go back to him myself if it were to become necessary.
