Total Hip replacement follow-up appointment. Mr Witt examined my hip and redressed the operated area and he observed my movements. Mr Witt was very polite and welcoming and answered all my questions fully. He was very easy to talk to and gave clear instructions for the next stage of my recovery. He totally put be at ease.
My experience was fantastic, so much better than I could have hoped for. I had zero pain, zero swelling, zero bruising. My recovery has been very easy and I'm now walking all short journeys without crutches (after 6 weeks). I would recommend Mr Johan Witt 100% to anyone who needs a total hip replacement. Not alone is he an amazing surgeon but he has a calm, reassuring manner and an ability to communicate in simple language what the surgery will involve.
When I visited Mr Johan Witt at Fortius Clinic London on two occasions, I found him to be both polite and extremely knowledgeable. When I attended for hip injections in both hips, his experience was clear, and he took great care to ensure I was comfortable and completely pain-free throughout the procedure.
Mr Witt is a fantastic surgeon and clinician - he genuinely cares for the best outcome for his patients. He is also very steady and reassuring - and has a calming presence. I did not hesitate when hip arthroscopy was finally the best option for me. I feel really lucky to have been under such excellent care as my case was not straightforward. Marina
I had a very positive experience . Mr Witt is an expert in his field and from the moment I met him I knew I was in excellent hands. The operation went very well and there were no complications. Mr Witt kindly checked on me every day. I would thoroughly recommend him.
Having seen Mr Witt on many, many occasions over the years, he remains the consumate professional - thank you Mr Witt.
