Visited Mr Dowen about my right knee issue, after he examined my knee he requested a x-ray, within minutes I was escorted into the radiation dept and had x-rays on all angles of my right knee, went and sat back in the waiting area for 5 minutes and then went back to see mr Dowen, his explanation was excellent and he gave me sound advise on how to manage my problem knee.
Chose Mr Dowen as he did my original operation and after an equine mishap decided to see him again for reassurance and any next steps. Fantastic experience, feel reassured. Everything explained clearly. Very professional and a thoroughly nice man
