Mr Jeffery has been exceptional. He’s been fantastic with my 15 year old daughter who was initially very anxious about the operation , all full ACL reconstruction and also meniscus tear. Throughout the process , pre operation, on the day and all post operation meetings he’s been brilliant and encouraging. She’s made notes of all her questions in advance of her appointments as he has encouraged. He has then spent the time responding clearly in a very engaging way suitable for teenagers and is then always available to answer any further questions. Overall it’s been a brilliant experience as a parent and as his patient.
He’s a great Doctor, He has the ability to explain things in simple terms so I as a 14 year old am able to understand. He is a great example of what all Doctors should be. Very glad I was able to have him through my journey of recovery.
We saw Mr John Jeffery for an initial consultation for my daughter’s ACL injury. He was very professional and knowledge. He explained the MRI images and surgery required clearly so we all understood. He is also very patient and kind, taking time to answer all our questions. We were truly grateful that he is going to do the surgery for my daughter.
We had a positive experience with Mr Jeffery. He carefully assessed my daughter’s knee and clearly explained that she has slightly higher kneecaps, which makes her more prone to pain and injury. The diagnosis was explained in a simple and reassuring way, and the recommendation for physiotherapy was practical and helpful. We appreciated the professional and caring approach throughout the visit.

John has treated us with the utmost professionalism over the past few years. His character, dedication, care and attention have been outstanding, and resulted in successful operations with positive life enhancing outcomes. We are very grateful for his expertise in his field, and hold him in high regard.
Mr Jeffery is a really nice Dr and explained very clearly what was going to happen during my operation. I felt like he really knew what he was doing! He didn't talk down to me when I asked questions and listened to what I said to him.
John is an excellent colleague who has a great ability to put patients at their ease.
