Every single member of staff were fantastic and I was very impressed with their dedication
Berry good. No pain after operation and walking without a stick after five weeks very satisfied
Mr Dowen was very approachable and thoroughly explained everything I needed to know regarding my implant and today's Xray
The experience was very good overall. Pre-op everything was well explained so I knew what to expect. The procedure itself was well performed so recovery, and excellent aftercare, produced a good result.
Excellent consultation. Everything about condition and treatment/surgery explained fully.
Brilliant experience from start to finish with Mr Dowen. Truly understood my issues with my knee, quick to make recommendations to MRI and then great explanation of what it showed and the next options. Totally listened to what I wanted and agreed in next steps. Top doctor
Absolutely fantastic it’s been a pleasure for me to have him fix my hip. I was as nervous as hell before I met him, and it’s been a very very pleasurable experience I’ve been in the best of care under Mr Dowen I’m hoping I can get him to do my right hip replacement now I’m so pleased with him and confident he’s changed my life around for me and for him to do the right well I couldn’t ask for anything more. Thank you so much again Mr Dowen your a star
