AI Review Summary
This summary was created by AI based on recent reviews
Mr James Platt is a professional doctor. He gives clear details, listens to patients, and builds confidence. Patients get great results from hip and knee surgery, including partial knee replacements. His skill provides knee pain relief and successful hip replacement surgery.
I have found Mr Platt to be totally clear, informative and reassuring in consultations leading up to my knee surgery. If I had questions, it was easy to ask them. I am more than happy with the outcome of the surgery, and the follow up care given by the Nuffield physio team. The whole experience has been a good one and I am very grateful that Mr Platt was my consultant.
Mr Platt provided Clear explanation and reassurance. He listened to my concerns and gave guidance on how to manage and improve my injury.
Had a hip issue and it was dealt with quickly and effectively
I have received outstanding care from Mr Platt and his team at Woking. In addition to his advanced surgical expertise he has used a range of other skills such as joint injections and diagnostic ultrasound to understand and manage my unusual knee issues. I have particularly appreciated his excellent communication with the physios, nurses and other professional colleagues as well as myself. His interest and dedication to helping me achieve the best possible outcome has been unwavering. His secretary/wife Kerrie has also been exceptionally kind and understanding. Thank you team Platt!
Dr Platt was very calm and clear in communicating what the issue was and what needed to be done. I would recommend and if I have a knee issue in the future, would be keen to see Dr Platt again.
I went to see Mr Platt as I needed a full knee replacement. He was extremely professional and at the same time allowed me to raise concerns which may have been slightly outside of the reason I went to see him in the first place. If my concerns were justified he would address them and if not he would explain why they were not. I felt very at ease with him handling my medical issues and would highly recommend him. He is a credit to his profession.
It was a smooth and informative first consultation with a clear plan for next steps.
I had torn my Meniscus and Dr Platt did a great job to repair it, I hardly had any pain after and it is now the best my knee has been for ages. He explained everything clearly. I would highly recommend him for any knee problems.
Thank you very much for your review. I'm very happy to help!
Mr Platt was my surgeon for both my knee procedures. I was very pleased that he was able to perform my second half knee operation. From my consultation to my final visit, Mr Platt had always explained everything in excellent layman's terms, been very clear and happy to answer any questions I wanted clarifying. He is patient and charming in his manner. He was never in a hurry even though I know how busy he was. My results are excellent and I am so happy that I am able to walk long distances again. Go back to Yoga and Pilates, do every thing I did before the operations.
Thank you for your review and for trusting me to operate on both your knees.
