When I first arrived and was scared he reassured me that everything would be fine and that if I wasn’t ready for my surgery even on the day we could wait which gave me a piece of mind. The entire time he supported me and helped me through every worry and answered all my crazy questions without even thinking twice. Overall dr Jeffery was an amazing surgeon and doctor and I’m very sad I won’t be seeing him monthly now
My recent experience with John was overall a great experience. He gave a clear explanation as to why i may be experiencing pain in my knee and the options i have to relieve the pain.
Amazing, dr Jeffries has been amazing, my daughter wouldn’t be living her life as well as she is, she has even gone on to sign up for the London marathon, she has had multiple surgeries all of which have been fantastic, he is compassionate caring and just all round an amazing dr who cares and has so much patience with his patients
We had a post surgery follow-up today with MrJeffery. He did an ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair for my 15-year old daughter who had a sports injury last year. The survey went very well so does the recovery. Mr Jeffery is very professional, knowledgeable, and caring. He explained the surgery process clearly and answered all our questions making us feel a lot eased before the surgery. He visited the ward when my daughter stayed in the hospital. The follow-up appointment was quick and nice as the recovery has been progressing very well. We are so grateful for having Mr Jeffery for my daughter’s surgery.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Dr John Jeffrey for the outstanding care he has provided to my son, Alfie Clift, from his surgery last year through to his discharge today. From our very first appointment, Dr Jeffrey was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly reassuring. He always took the time to explain everything clearly, answer our questions, and ensure that both Alfie and our family felt informed and supported throughout the entire process. The care Alfie received before, during, and after his surgery was exceptional. Dr Jeffrey's expertise, kindness, and genuine compassion gave us complete confidence every step of the way. Nothing ever felt rushed, and we always felt that Alfie's wellbeing was his top priority. Today, as Alfie is discharged from his care, we reflect on the journey over the past year with immense gratitude. The positive outcome achieved is a testament to Dr Jeffrey's skill and dedication, and we cannot thank him enough for the difference he has made to Alfie's life. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Dr Jeffrey overseeing Alfie's care and would highly recommend him to any family. Thank you, Dr Jeffrey, for your exceptional care, support, and commitment to Alfie Clift and our family.
We are incredibly grateful to Mr. Jeffrey for the care he provided to our 12 year-old daughter Willow during her paediatric MPFL and PTA surgery. From our very first appointment he was kind, reassuring and took the time to ensure both our daughter understood every step of the process. He made her feel at ease throughout her treatment. Thank you Mr Jeffery for your expertise and giving Willow the opportunity to return to sport she loves. We cannot thank Mr Jeffrey enough and would highly recommend him.
Dr. Jeffery is very skilled surgeon and expert in his field. We felt in very safe hands and had the utmost confidence in his skills and knowledge. He has a wonderful bedside manner. He’s kind, calm and explains things clearly to the children to put them at ease. He’s answered our many questions and provided supporting information to help us make an informed choice about the best operation for our daughter. As parents it’s a very scary thing to see your children go through such an operation, but he also put our minds ease both in the pre op and on the day of the operation. She has had an incredible outcome and we cannot thank him enough.
