Lauren explained everything very clearly and gave some in depth advise that I can start whilst I wait for my next appointment
Lauren has a lovely professional approach. Very down to earth and explains everything in a clear manner.
Lauren took over my care and immediately referred me for a further MRI, which showed that I needed further treatment in addition to ligament replacement. Without this, I believe that I would have needed surgery again in the future. Lauren has always been thorough and clear in her communication, which helped ease my anxiety around the procedure as a whole.
Miss Thompson had been an absolute pleasure to have as a surgeon. She has taken something that was causing me a lot of problems for a lot of years and fixed it . When she fitted my internal brace and fixed ligaments and a tendon that were damaged she was amazing . The after-care she offered was second to none. She is kind, caring and respectful. She also performed a second operation due to some discomfort and strange sensations I was experiencing and again she was amazing. She is down to earth, easy to talk too and explains everything in a way that a non-medical person can understand. If you get the opportunity for this amazing lady to do an operation that you might need I would highly recommend that you go to Miss Thompson and in my personal opinion There isn't a better surgeon than her.
I was nervous about having an operation on my toe joint walking was becoming difficult and painful. I went to see Miss Thompson and had an X-ray. Miss Thompson explained what was wrong with my toe joint and my options for surgery very clearly. I had the surgery yes it was painful for the first couple of weeks, after following the exercise routine and attending physiotherapy I can walk without pain and my toe joint now moves and is flexible. I am very happy with the outcome and would recommend having a cheilectomy.
This lady had a very similar injury to mine so was very sympathetic when I told her about how much pain I was in,she took great care showing me graphics on the computer of what exactly the damage was she was lovely and I hope I get to see her again in 6 weeks,u are one lucky hospital to have her def 5*
Excellent understanding and extremely professional. Within my first few visit Miss Thompson managed to find the problem that had been causing me issues for over two years and help me get it resolved. The advice provided has been incredible and helped me get back to full health.
Really happy with my consultations. Everything explained clearly and good advice always given. Very pleased with my progress so far.
I was extremely happy with appointment. She listened to me, gave lots of advice and got appointments very quickly for injection and physio
A friendly, enthusiastic and caring surgeon who strives to give the very best care to her patients
