AI Review Summary
This summary was created by AI based on recent reviews
Mr David Stock is an informative, excellent doctor. He gives patients clear explanations. Many patients report good outcomes from hip and total knee replacement surgery. His full care runs from initial visit to recovery.
A very good experience. Mr Stock explained things well and listened to my concerns.
Exceptionally happy with my treatment for my knee replacement and all the subsequent follow up appointments. I would definitely want Mr David Stock to carry out the operation on my other knee. Being a very nervous person he put me at total ease.
Relatively nervous to hearing the results of my Mri. Mr Stock was very informative with this, and i felt at ease once seen him. When one thinks the pain and symptoms were all in ones head and over thinking matters, it's a relief to know it's not all in ones mind. I believe Mr Stock is one of the best consultants in the county. I will have no more worries when he works his magic and fixes my knee. Apprehensive but i know I'll get the best and right treatment.
I found David to be personable, confident and comfortable to speak with. His attention to detail determined a specific model of replacement for me, which added to my level of confidence in what is to come.
Thank you very much for your kind words, I am delighted I was able to help David
Having my surgery cancelled, 3 days before due date, on account of a slightly high glucose reading (0.03 mmol/L above max limit), I was particularly anxious to travel to see my family in Australia and return to play golf. Having tried unsuccessfully on aa number of occasions to reschedule my surgery ASAP. I felt rather frustrated, and decided to seek help locally, and read Mr David Stock references provided by the ‘Three Shires Clinic’. Feeling hopeful, that he would consider taking me on as a patient, I booked a visit to see him. From the very start, we connected. Fabulous mannerism, sporting background and someone who appreciated my level of fitness for an active 76-year-old who had prepared for the surgical procedure. During our appointment, he directed me to his website to read about ‘knee replacement surgery’ and once satisfied with the contents to refer to him. Totally assured and confident, I accepted the terms and conditions and underwent my left knee replacement on 13th August 2025 and right knee on 29th of October 2025. During my hospital stay at ‘Three Shires’ on both occasions, we joked and chatted happily, as I was totally confident of his post-surgical care. He reminded me, not to hesitate to call on him if I ever experienced any problems. Currently, I continue to do my physio exercises, walk 3 miles a day at an average of 3.5 mph, and have walked 2 rounds of golf before coming here to Australia. Been walking daily here in Queensland. Thank you Mr Stock, I am very happy to recommend you to anyone who finds himself needing your help.
Thank you for your testimonial. I am delighted that the knee replacements went so well, in a large part due to your pre and post operative adherence to physiotherapy. Hopefully your golf will benefit as well as a result of the surgery !!
Was reviewing left hand hip pain and post injection.
Very impressed and the procedure was totally pain-free and I am now able to bend down quite easily. Thank you.
I am delighted you have had such a good outcome as a result of the injection. It is likely the effect will wear off in time, but we can meet again and discuss how you would like to go forward. Thank you David
