Everything was clearly explained and and has helped me to decide on the nexr step to take
I had a 10/10 experience with Mr David Stock. He took the time to listen to me properly and explained everything clearly in a way that I could easily understand. He acknowledged my symptoms and was able to see the weakness in my right leg during the examination, which made me feel that my concerns were genuinely being taken seriously. He provided a clear plan for the next steps, including arranging an MRI and explaining the possible treatment options depending on the results. He also assured me that I would have a follow-up appointment after the scan. Impressively, just one day later I had already received my follow-up appointment for after the MRI, which was incredibly efficient. I left the consultation feeling reassured, well informed, and confident that I was in excellent hands. I would highly recommend Mr David Stock.
Thank you very much for your kind review and that I was able to help David
My appointment was a 6/7 week following my right knee replacement on the 17th June and also to carry out a steroid injection into my left hip , both to do with osteoarthritis. Mr Stock was very pleased with the progress of my knee and following the injection he asked mr to make an appointment to see him again in 6 weeks . I always find Mr Stock very easy to talk to and he always explains things in a way that’s easy to understand. I’ve had quite a lot of appointments over the last year and I’ve always felt very reassured with his response to my questions.
Every thing was explained to me clearly and I felt that Mr David Stock really listened to what I had to say, he was friendly and professional. I was really happy with how my appointment progressed.
Thank you
Very professional. Good communication. Overall excellent.
