Everything was explained clearly and I was able to make an informed choice.
Very good explaning every thing to me, felt really assured.
Took time to explain everything clearly & ensured that I had understood what is a complex range of issues that are interlinked.
Mr. Bartlett explained everything well and checked that I understood everything. The receptionist was friendly and helpful.
My experience was very good Mr Bartlett’s explanations were thorough and put my mind at rest.
My stay at the duchy was excellent in all aspects. The staff are friendly and helpful, very clean everywhere and food is lovely. I was made comfortable for the duration of my stay .
Mr Barlett was very helpful and understanding of my need for a second hip replacement. As with my previous replacement he answered all of my questions, explained everything thoroughly and gave me the confidence in him to look after me a second time.
My experience has been that Mr Bartlett listened to me well throughout the whole process. He clearly described what had happened and what the process was for a recovery following a total hip replacement. He was realistic about the kind of outcome I might have which included a reduction of pain and improved mobility. I found him to be attentive to my needs and reassuring. I found the operation to be less frightening than I had expected, and my fears of being given a spinal anaesthesia unfounded. As I write this 8 weeks on from my operation I am struck by how quickly the pain and initial discomfort has diminished, and how quickly the body recovers from a major trauma. I am pain free and to be without the pain of arthritis is a relief, it enables me to return to living rather than existing. The care I received from the team was excellent, I felt cared for and well looked after.
Everything was excellent apart from the time scale of being fit and well after my operation. I was told 6 weeks and then I was told another 6 weeks. Just a bit confusing that’s all. All staff and Drs were very professional, even the cleaning ladies. Thank you to all of you involved in my care.
