I was introduced to Mr Platt several years ago and he is the man who has made my life since the first and second hip replacement pain free. If you are suffering with hip or knee pain you have my sympathy. I was only in hospital for 2 or 3 days and yes it was not a place I would want to spend too much time in, but after a few weeks I realised just how beneficial it was. I am now in my 78th year and as I said earlier totally pain free.

The whole experience from beginning to end was excellent. I can't recommend Mr. Platt enough.

Mr Platt was extremely professional and pleasant to deal with. He guided me through the X-ray of my hip, explained the present situation and what he recommended be done to rectify it. He explained in simple terms but also had all the technical knowledge to answer any queries I had. Leading up to the operation he kept me informed and his secretary was very patient with my numerous enquiries so that going into the operation I had every confidence in a successful outcome. After the operation Mr Platt explained everything that had been done and was on hand again to explain and reassure me. I couldn’t have had a better experience throughout the entire procedure and when my other hip needs sorting out I shall go straight back to Mr Platt.

Having had a previous knee operation performed by Mr Platt, I knew he was a very competant surgeon. On a follow up visit today following mri scan on the other knee, after reviewing the scan Mr Platt stongly advised me that I needed another operation. He was kind , and took the time to explain everything and make sure that I fully understood what he needed to do and what the outcome would be for me , he left me feeling confident that he would do the best for me , which left me much less worried about having to have the procedure. The NHS should be proud and are lucky to have such a kind and experienced surgeon.

I had a knee replacement performed by Mr Platt in February 2022 My experience of Mr Platt has been excellent. He is kind and thoughtful and gave a clear explanation of the procedure, and he saw me on my follow-up in his clinic. I am under his care again for my other knee. Thank you for helping me to remain as independent and improving my quality of life.

My partial knee replacement surgery was carried out by Mr Platt on the 17/02/2023 which was approximately 10 weeks ago. I know that recovery's are different for each patient but mine has been exceptional so much so I played 18 holes of golf on 22/04/2023 and couldn't be happier with my surgery. Mr Platt explained my operation in full before performing surgery and took the time to see me on the ward the same day after my surgery to let me know how the operation had gone. His beside manor filled me with nothing but confidence and any questions I had were answered and explained in full. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mr Platt to anyone considering Knee surgery and I can't thank Mr Platt and all the nurses at Mount Vernon Hospital enough for the exceptional care they provided.

Mr Platt treated both myself for a knee replacement and my wife for a knee issue and we both found him to be informative, caring and very professional.

Mr. Platt was the surgeon who led the surgical team treating my tpf in October 2022. He explained the process very well to me before surgery. He was present in the theatre, overseeing the surgeon who performed the operation, checking each stage from what I could tell. Post surgery other team members attended and explained recovery. I have spoken to Mr. Platt after my six month check today. He was happy to chat things through regarding future surgery, including hardware removal and TKR. Thank you for your time.

Very professional and understanding Put me at ease ,found the whole Experience excellent.

I found the treatment I was given by Mr Platt, from my initial consultation to having my hip replacement surgery a very positive experience. He was very kind and patient in explaining how the procedure would be carried out, the impact of having a new hip and guiding me through my recovery. Contacting him was always very straight forward and he always responded in a timely manner. He was empathetic and explained things without blinding me with science which was refreshing.
