Suffering with knee pain and getting nowhere with NHS podiatry I contacted Mr Yasen; no delay as no need for GP referral.After an initial consultation ,X-ray and scan, I had a clear diagnosis and after considering my options,explained clearly by Mr Yasen, I had full confidence in him,especially as he carries out a lot of knee surgery and opted for partial knee replacement surgery,with little delay and which has been very successful.

I am 28 years old and injured myself through sport meaning I had bilateral knee surgery. I was petrified to say the least but Mr Yasen and the team at Basingstoke were fantastic. I felt at ease and knew exactly what was happening during my procedure. It was nearly 6 months ago now and although I am still on the mend, I can see dramatic improvements in my day to day life.

I would like to pass on my positive feedback and sincere thanks to Mr Sam Yasen and the whole team following my bilateral medial opening surgery with allograft bone. There have been a few bumps along the way during my recovery, but I am now feeling considerably stronger and am almost completely pain-free, which is amazing. I have also been able to return to training and achieve a high standard of fitness, which is a huge step forward for me. Overall, I am extremely pleased with the progress I have made and really appreciate the care, expertise and support I have received throughout the process. Thank you to everyone involved in helping me get to this point.

From the moment I met Sam i was put at ease, once the first x-rays were taken he was very clear on what was needed and best way forward in achieving the best results, towards the operation date my knee had become unbearable and I couldn't walk without an aid, once the operation had been carried out it has been nothing short of life changing for me, and one year after the operation i am in the best condition for years and owe this to Sam.
