Mr David Elson

I Found Mr Elson following a great deal of research and following failed keyhole surgery a couple of years earlier at a different private hospital in NE England. From initial consultation, Mr Elson was absolutely fantastic, explaining in simple terms what he had identified from a simple x ray. Mr Elson spent a great deal of time outlining options and we agreed on two partial knee replacements. Both operations were successful, walking independently without crutches in just over a week. I have great flexibility in both knees and am writing this review after seven weeks post op on the second knee. Having been in pain every step I walked, I am now pain free with the exception of some minor niggles as things settle down which is to be expected. I have no hesitation in recommending Mr Elson as a fantastic surgeon with a great deal of knowledge and experience. Thank you Mr Elson for all your help and support!!

From the moment that I walked into the hospital and the consulting room I was made to feel relaxed and comfortable. Despite my nervousness and unease with the procedure, Mr Elson explained in a language I understood and appreciated. With the procedure now weeks behind me I can now say that I've not felt this happy with my movement for many months. The last consultation with Mr Elson was highly beneficial and I came away with a thorough understanding of what I need to do next.

From start to finish Mr Elson filled me with confidence. Explained everything I needed and asked me questions throughout. At our recent discharge meeting we went through the operation results in detail. Mr Elson puts the time into the meeting which is needed. You feel like a person and not a number. You feel and are cared for. The operation I’ve had and the aftercare has been exceptional and my recovered incredible as a result. Can’t thank him enough.

Mr Elson was a pleasure to deal with . He has a very easy and approachable manner explaining details in a clear and concise way . I had full confidence in his appraisal of my problem and after my surgery have had fantastic results . I would have no hesitation in recommending Mr Elson .

Couldn't have been a nicer DR, really gave me motivation for my knee rehab going forward!

Great from start to finish. Answered everything i needed to know and Made me feel very at ease before and after my operation.

Staff very helpful and the surgeon explained everything, The only problem is parking as there is work going on in the car park and outside is permit only

Mr Elson made me feel at ease as soon as meeting him, explaining the procedure in detail to me. Very professional. I am so happy with my operation and am pain free. Many thanks

Having struggled for years with a knee problem, and unable to walk far without pain, Mr Elson advised of surgical options, with a refreshing honesty, and I decided on a tibial osteotomy. Entire experience was very relaxed, Mr Elson’s skills and advice for recovery have enabled me to have a fully active life again, including mountaineering and CrossFit, life changing difference.

David took time to listen to the goals I wanted to achieve, and it's clear he cares about patients' wellbeing. He was happy to discuss options and we agreed surgery for my torn ACL. He explained all I needed to know and was happy to answer questions. He's also a great surgeon and I"m now 7 weeks post op, walking round with hardly any pain or swelling. He has many years of experience and it shows. So happy he agreed to do my surgery, I would definitely recommend him.
