I was personally recommended to see Mr Sam Yasen for a second opinion. A few years following a previous meniscus repair surgery, I was struggling to make a full recovery and still experiencing pain. I felt confident when meeting Mr Yasen that my situation would improve. After further investigations with injections and MRI scans, I had another meniscus repair & partial meniscectomy. Discussions regarding my knee operation were always communicated clearly. My early recovery post-op is going well and I feel positive in the care of Mr Yasen.

I found Mr Yasen to be professional and knowledgable. He has been very patient in explaining the challenges I have with my knee resulting from an injury and surgery as a teenager (many years ago). He has done his utmost to improve things for me. Several of my friends have also been under his care and happy with their outcomes.

I’ve truly had an amazing experience with Mr Yasen, from start to finish! Not enough words can be said to rate him so highly!! After having many operations in my past not one consultant has come close to Mr Yasen in all aspects! Mr Yasen is simply the best!!

Great doctor! I had two osteotomies done on each leg. I am really happy with the results. Mr Yasen always listen carefully to my concerns and explained clearly my options. I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. Yasen highly.

I have had both knees replaced in the last two years, and I recently visited Mr Yasen for a final check-up on the second knee. Both knees were examined by Mr Yasen, and he fully explained how the condition of each might slightly change during future years, and that he was delighted with my progress. I now have good mobility again.

I have been thoroughly pleased with all aspects of Mr Yasen's care. His expertise is without doubt very good, His after care is excellent, His follow on advice creates confidence, I don't believe he could be bettered.

After fighting the NHS for 20+ years I finally found a consultant that not only listened to me and but showed real compassion and humanity, not just to me as a patient but to also my husband who has been fighting my corner too. I really can not thank Mr Yasen enough for not just fixing my knee but for giving my life back. After 3 years of of off the scale pain I am finally pain free.

My most recent appointment was my 1year follow-up after my ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair, where Dr Yasen also gave me a steroid injection to help with the swelling that was still lingering in my knee. As always, he took the time to listen to how everything had been going, examine my knee properly and talk through what he thought was happening. I never felt rushed, and he explained everything clearly, which gave me confidence in the plan moving forward. Although I still have some recovery ahead of me, I came away feeling reassured and positive. Looking back over the last year, every appointment has been like this. Dr Yasen has always been approachable, honest and incredibly supportive, and I've always felt that he genuinely cared about getting me back to doing the things I enjoy.
