Mr Bartlett was very pleasant during my follow up appointment. He offered me the opportunity to ask any questions I might have and he answered them clearly.

When I had my initial consultation I found Mr Barlett rather brusque and I was upset by the somewhat negative picture he painted. However, both pre-operation and the day after my opinion changed and I had absolute confidence in him. Today on my post operation concsultation he was kind and positive. I must say too as a surgeon I believe he did an awesome job - and I meant to comment that my scar - after 7 weeks is almost invisible.

I have met Mr Bartlett previously for the same problem with my left hip. I was very happy with all treatment and results, so chose to be referred to him again. Everything was explained to me very clearly and kindly. I am feeling positive about my upcoming surgery.

Prior to seeing Mr Bartlett I had an X-ray taken of which Mr Bartlett showed me and explained the hip replacement looked good and was pleased with my recovery and walking ability. He explained that I needed to take it easy for the next six week to avoid any damage to the joint area which I will be sure to take care. I am very pleased with the outcome of the operaration and the way I have been dealt with by Mr Bartlett and all other staff who dealt with me.
