My final follow up visit after my right knee replacement, my knee is excellent now with no pain, fully healed and very strong, lots of easy movement from straight to well over 90 degrees. Steady and totally supportive when walking etc. Excellent professional job with great attention to detail, explained everything in easy to understand detail with his excellent manner, Highly recommend by me!!!!

Mr Massa was very kind and reassuring during all my clinic visits and answered my many questions without rushing me. I feel confident with my hip replacement now and will carry on with the physiotherapy and exercises suggested by Mr Massa to ensure that my hip stays in good shape. I actually forgot to thank him for the successful surgery so hope this will suffice.

I cannot thank Mr Edward Massa enough for the care I have received. He performed my hip replacement in March after I had experienced a long period of pain, discomfort, and reduced mobility, all of which had a significant impact on my daily life. From my very first appointment, Mr Massa made me feel completely reassured. He listened carefully to my concerns and clearly understood the difficulties I was facing. His approach was both compassionate and professional, which gave me great confidence going into surgery. The operation itself went very smoothly. I had sedation and felt calm and relaxed throughout the entire experience, despite it being a major procedure. My recovery has been remarkably straightforward, with no restrictions, and I was able to return home in under 24 hours. Now, 12 weeks post-operation, I am back to walking my dog and comfortably completing 5km walks—something I never imagined possible before surgery. I am incredibly grateful for the outcome and the care I received, and I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Massa. I am now feeling confident about returning for my next hip replacement.

As a 50 year old ex rugby player and also an NHS paramedic the idea of having a total hip replacement when still fairly young was daunting. Mr Massa was from the very start was wonderful…. From detailed explanations highlighting every facet of the process to his impeccable bedside manner I really couldn’t have wished for more. It’s given me a new lease of life and being pain free and back to doing the things I love I am eternally grateful. Thank you so much

From the very first consultation through to post-operative care, the level of professionalism, expertise, and compassion shown by my orthopaedic consultant was exceptional. Undergoing a hip replacement is a daunting experience, but I felt completely reassured every step of the way thanks to their calm manner, clear communication, and outstanding surgical skill. The care and attention to detail throughout the entire process exceeded all expectations, and the recovery has been far smoother than I imagined possible. What stood out most was not only the consultant’s remarkable expertise, but also the genuine kindness and dedication shown to me as a patient. I always felt listened to, supported, and treated with the utmost respect. I cannot thank them enough for giving me my quality of life back. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone needing a hip replacement surgery.

I had full hip replacement 6 weeks ago. Mr Massa had explained the process fully. The operation went well. I was out of hospital for the following day. One of my concerns as an aging athlete was the potential time for rehabilitation and a loss of fitness. Mr Massa gave reassurance & advice as to what I could expect & achieve. I was on a turbo on the 14th day and managed to cycle 50 miles on week 6 post Op. Mr Massa is both approachable & knowledgeable.

I have always found that clients do very well when they see Mr Massa. They comment on his personable approach when they see him for assessment, and he has a genuine interest in seeing them get better. His surgical outcomes in my experience are exceptional too, and clients always arrive at physio having a good idea of the recovery process in front of them and ready to engage. I readily refer to Mr Massa and look forward to seeing his post operative clients and the things they achieve.
