Mr David Milligan was very professional and informative. Really impressed by the appointment approach and explanations
I had a total hip replacement with Mr Milligan at Kingsbridge Private Hospital. From the first consultation he was very approachable and explained everything clearly, including the pros and cons. He took time to answer all my questions and made me feel completely at ease. The surgery went well and I’m now 8 weeks post-op — almost pain-free, walking well, and the scar is very neat. The whole team at Kingsbridge were excellent. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mr Milligan to anyone considering hip replacement surgery.
