Mr James Pegrum shows a professional, clear, and kind approach with patients. Patients feel high confidence in his care and praise successful hip and knee replacement surgery. His clear explanations make patients feel supported, leading to pain relief and a better quality of life. Feedback often mentions hip replacement, knee replacement, and arthritis conditions.
Utterly, professional, and pleasant. Provided concise and clear information, paying attention to detail as well as being mindful of the bigger picture. Will always be grateful for the enhancement to my quality of life, thanks to Mr Pegrum’s care.
Mr Pegrum is perceptive and kind. His explanations are clear and reassuring. I felt there was a very good relationship among his theatre team and I felt informed and supported throughout my operation - so much so I stayed awake throughout! He was also equally clear and reassuring at post op visits. I am enormously grateful for his kind manner, expertise and clarity of information at all times.
MR Pegrum was very professional explained everything clearly.
I had total hip replacement yesterday at Cheltenham General and Mr Pegrum and his team were wonderful. From the start, I had total confidence in Mr Pegrum and was impressed by his calm, friendly, and efficient manner. I would like to also specifically mention Laura, the anaesthetist. I was nervous about being awake during the surgery and she reassured me that she would be with me the whole time and could adjust the sedation if I became distressed. In the event, I was barely aware of what was happening, so all good. In recovery a lovely nurse chatted to me. Name began with M. We discovered we both liked almond mini magnums! Lesley looked after me on the ward and was great. A very positive experience all round.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such lovely feedback. I’m delighted to hear that you had such a positive experience and that you felt confident and well looked after throughout your surgery and recovery. I will make sure your kind comments are passed on to Laura, Lesley, the recovery nurse and the rest of the team. It was a privilege to look after you, and I’m very pleased to hear that your experience was such a positive one. Wishing you a smooth recovery and many happy, pain-free years with your new hip.
Mr Pegrum apart from his reassuring manner and professionalism is probably the most approachable consultant I have ever had to care for me.
I underwent a hip replacement 6 weeks ago by Mr Pegram and visited him for a follow up appointment today. My surgery went really well and having followed the treatment and exercise plan I am delighted to be pain free, walking well and looking forward to getting my life back after a painful few years.
Engaging and understanding Mr James Pegrum immediately put my mind at rest regarding a replacement hip. I had appointments with him via the NHS Pathway both before and after the operation and his professional manner gave me the uptmost confidence. Accordingly, his skill during surgery and closing the wound resulted in minimum discomfort and i was on my feet walking within 24 hours. The wound has healed very well and there have been no complications. A magnificent result from a remarkable surgeon.

Thank you very much for taking the time to share such kind and generous feedback. I’m delighted to hear that you felt reassured and confident throughout your treatment, and that your recovery has been so smooth. It was a privilege to look after you, and I’m particularly pleased to hear that you were up and walking so quickly and that you have recovered well. I will also pass your kind comments on to the wider team, who work incredibly hard to provide the best possible care for our patients.
Professional clear in my path forward and treatment a huge thank you to Mr Pegrum and his entire team.
