Mr John Jeffery is professional and reassuring with young patients. He explains scan results in clear terms so children feel at ease. Families receive full support before and after surgery. His primary focus covers knee pain, paediatric orthopaedic surgery, sports injuries, patella dislocation, and ACL reconstruction.
We had a really helpful and insightful appointment with Mr Jeffery. He took the time to understand the difficulties our daughter has been experiencing and carried out a thorough examination before explaining the likely problem and the treatment options available. We particularly appreciated the way he spoke directly to our daughter, explaining everything in a way she could understand and helping her feel at ease. He clearly understood her passion for sport and the impact this injury is having on her, which meant a great deal to us as parents.
Mr Jeffery was very approachable and was very good with Freddie (aged 15). He explained the MRI images and what they showed. He was clear what the options were and the possible outcomes of the different surgery procedures. The images indicated a meniscus tear and possible cruciate ligament strain
Really friendly. John made my daughter feel comfortable especially as he knew all about football and his questions related really well with her based on his knowledge of her knee injury and all the sport she was playing
We visited to see the physio and consultant post op . We were seen on time and met with friendly professional practitioners. Mr Jeffrey is exceptional, he has given us a lot of reassurance following years of my daughter struggling with pain and not able to walk properly.
Mr John Jeffery was excellent he spoke to my 15 year old daughter not just to me he had lots of patience and we didn't feel rushed at all he did a full knee examination and really explained our MRI scans and also the operation and made my daughter believe that gymnastics would be possible in the future after recovery and he also to the time to listen to all our questions was a real breath of fresh air feeling listened to and understood and not talking to us in a belittling manner
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.
