I had left hip replacement September 2025. Been sept 2026 for 12month xray and to see Mr Yates. Everything good and was discharged
From my first meeting to being discharged , I found Mr Yates to be a first class surgeon. He listened to my concerns, asked me how I saw my future and helped me with any worries I had. My operation was a complete success. I have my mobility back , and my scar is hardly noticeable. If , in the future , I need another hip replacement, there is no one I would rather have perform it. A first class surgeon and a lovely human being. He literally changed my life and I can't thank him enough !
Absolutely excellent throughout Mr Yates and his team were fantastic in the way they reassured and cared for me. I cannot speak highly enough of them.
I was treated by Mr Edward Yates as the expert orthopaedic consultant surgeon and post operatively in the hip strengthening exercise clinic by the ACP Caroline York. I extend my gratitude to them for literally giving me my life back to with the hip replacement. Prior to the operation I was an invalid in severe pain with a poor quality of life. Now post operatively I have a life again, am able to enjoy walking my dog 2-3days each Saturday and Sunday with friends and am still working as a senior academic lecturer and principal supervisor for PhD students, aged 71 years old. I cannot thank Mr Yates enough for his expertise and skill. Thank you Mr Yates, you are a wonderful surgeon. Kind regards, Dr Jenni T.
I felt extremely at ease and recieved all the information i required for me knee
Mr Yates couldn’t have been a better consultant, my experience from start to finish was exemplary
This was my final visit with Mr Yates and I am de,igbted to be be discharged. Hip replacement 4 years ago
I was treated by Mr Yates for osteoarthritis in both hips. Left being more severe than right one. He has recommended total hip replacement which I was reluctant to do at first but my pain was getting worse. My operation took place on 2nd March at Spire Macclesfield hospital. All the details of treatment and expectations have been explained to me. The team took great care and hospital staff have been professional and caring. Aftercare has been nothing short of excellent. Mr Yates has been very happy with my progress and so was I. I still use a crutch outside for re-assurance, however, I can walk unaided indoors. Better result than I've expected. Thank you
Mr Yates has been absolutely amazing from day one. Explaining procedures, the operation, any possible problems and his aftercare could not be faulted. A caring, professional specialist in his field. We need more doctors like him. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you so much Mr Yates.
As with all my previous consultations, with Mr Yates at the Highfield, I was treated in a highly professional, caring manner. All my questions were answered in a way that I understood and I felt totally at my ease.
