Mr Berwin replaced my hip and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The whole process was handled efficiently and the surgery was carried out swiftly and successfully. My recovery has gone very well, and I’m extremely pleased with the outcome of the operation. Mr Berwin was very professional and reassuring throughout and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone considering hip replacement surgery.

My first knee replacement has gone so smoothly from start to finish that I am now very happy for Mr Berwick to replace my other knee.

My full knee replacement with Mr Berwin was a positive experience throughout. The consultations were helpful and supportive of my decision making, options fully explained and a clear understanding of what to expect. I felt that I was in good hands and had confidence in the surgical and nursing team. I particularly valued Mr Berwin’s honesty and encouragement to engage actively in the post-op exercise regime to achieve the best outcome. So far, so good. No operation and recovery are exactly fun, but this was all better than I envisaged.

Earlier this year I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in both hips. Fortunately, I was referred to Mr Berwin who immediately made me feel at ease at the initial consultation with his professional explanation coupled with an exceptionally reassuring manner. Within two months Mr Berwin had replaced both my hips and literally got me back on my feet. Before my first operation I could hardly walk even short distances without walking poles, and even then I was in great pain. Mr Berwin’s surgical skills in replacing my hips have left me pain-free. Now, eight weeks after my second operation, I can walk 5k with ease and am able to get on with my life. I couldn’t be more pleased with the results of my hip surgery or with the standard of care I received from Mr Berwin and his team.

Mr Berwin is a highly professional, knowledgeable Consultant who took time to explain everything to me about my treatment and procedure. I appreciated his candour about the condition of my knee and found him to be trustworthy and caring, with a very approachable manner. He is and will continue to be my Consultant of choice.
