At my first meeting with Mr. Allen, everything was clearly and plainly explained including what can occasionally go wrong with the procedure. The procedure, my brief stay in the Nuffield and follow up care has been excellent. I am very happy with the outcome.

Explanation

I have no hesitation in recommending Mr Allen. It is just over 4 months since my op and I am delighted with the outcome of my hip replacement surgery. The improvement in flexibility, function and strength is what I had hoped for and is still improving. I feel back to the person I was 8 or 9 years ago before retirement and have lost 20lbs in weight. The wonderful hospital team and follow up physiotherapy also played a key part n my recovery and rehabilitation. Mr Allen is honest and straight talking and I always felt in good hands.

Mr Allen performed a full hip replacement. I found him very pleasant and easy to talk to. The operation has been a complete success. Recovery was speedier than I anticipated and 6 weeks post op I felt like I had never had a hip problem. Can’t be happier.

Explanation

Great surgeon, i've had two full knee replacements and the work carried out by Dr Allen has been faultless from the start. Very neat wounds that have healed well and not very noticable, and extremely happy with mobility in both knees. Pain free now and getting back to activities i have not been able to do in years.

Explanation

Mr Allen explained everything really well at my initial consultation He then carried out the operation with his team at the Nuffield in Glasgow. The operation was successful beyond my expectations. I had a full hip replacement and was back on my feet, crutch free within three weeks. I was back to work after five weeks or so and have never looked back Pain free and able to do things I haven't been able to do for five years or more. I highly recommend Mr David Allan and am so grateful to him for giving me back my ability to fully enjoy life again!!! .....
