I cannot recommend Mr. Yasen enough. Over the course of my treatment, he performed an osteotomy, followed by metalwork removal and the removal of loose bone fragments. From my very first consultation through to my recovery, the level of care I received was exceptional. I was absolutely terrified about having such major surgery, but he took the time to explain every step of the process, answer all of my questions, and reassure me throughout. He never made me feel rushed, and it was always clear how much he genuinely cared about both his work and me as his patient. Thanks to his expertise, this is the best my knee has felt in four years. I only wish I'd found him sooner. He has genuinely changed my life, and I will always be incredibly grateful for the care and support he has given me.

I came to see Dr Yasen after a rugby injury affecting my left knee. I felt like I was in the best hands from the start. Everything was explained so clearly and calmly with any question or query I had answered.

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.
