I recently had a consultation with Mr Chris Gooding at Spire Lea Hospital regarding a hip replacement, arranged and funded through the NHS, and I was extremely impressed with the whole experience. Mr Gooding was exceptionally reassuring, professional and positive throughout the consultation. What I particularly appreciated was the way he explained everything clearly and provided me with the facts I needed to understand my condition and the options available to me. I never felt rushed or pressured to make a decision but really appreciated his advise on the most positive way forward to allow me to get back to a position where everyday life and expectations could be fulfilled pain free. I came away from the consultation feeling much more informed and, importantly, reassured about the way forward. His calm, knowledgeable and straightforward approach gave me great confidence. I am very grateful for the time and care Mr Gooding gave me and would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone needing specialist hip care. The experience so far has been excellent from arrival where I was greeted with a smile to the nurse who kindly but efficiently measured my height and weight and the radiologist who performed an Xray without delay. Thank you all

I had a full right knee replacement with Mr Gooding, and it has gone really well, from start to now, I have been informed of all procedures and what to expect in the weeks following surgery, this was extremely helpful in managing my expectations of the pain for the first two weeks. I have only good things to say following my procedure and follow up advice.

Totally happy with my care under Nuffield Hospital and Chris Gooding. Whilst the operation was later in the day than I expected I was well informed and looked after throughout both before and after my operation. Chris Gooding met with me at relevant times and always had time to explain what was going to happen while happy to answer any questions I had. A totally rewarding experience throughout and a quick recovery to pain free walking - just what the doctor ordered!
