A last minute change of plan a little surprising, full knees replacement instead of partials, but he knows best. Probably future proofing. All good, pre- op chat reassuring. Proceedure seems to have gone well. Did not get to see Mr Gilespie post op, butvassuming all went well.

I have never been so well looked after by a surgeon and his team. From the pre operative preparation, to the surgical experience and then the after care . No question went unanswered but in fact few questions were needed as all angles seemed covered from the beginning

Mr Gillespie was excellent. 3rd procedure ive had with him ove last 5 years and I would choose him again if ever I needed knee related surgery in the future. Hopefully this will not be necessary. I have recommended him to several friends and family members over the years.
