Mr Manoj Sood

All consultations were open, possible risks and issues of surgical procedures were well explained

Overall my care by Mr Sood was good, as I had previously had knee surgery with him a few years prior. The only thing I wish to point out was the aftercare visits by Mr Sood were few. As a Surgeon, he does exceptional work.

The full replacement of my right knee took place on the 28th of August 2025 after Mr Sood had identified some time earlier that although my half compartmental replacement had served me well it was almost worn out and in danger of creating more serious problems if not dealt with quickly. (The half replacement was performed 25 years earlier by Mr Rawlings). The replacement surgery went well although I had a slightly longer stay in hospital to ensure bleeding of the wound was fully controlled as the new incision followed the line of my old scar. Mr Sood personally took control of redressing the wound in hospital and during the first outpatient surgery visit. On the second outpatients visit he examined the wound, was satisfied, as I was, that the surgery and recovery had gone very well. The new scar was much shorter than the 25 year old scar and was healing very quickly. By my 6 months outpatients surgery check-up in March, I was fully recovered and his colleagues were very happy to discharge me from their care. Since, then I have enjoyed the benefit of a new right knee which feels as good as it did back in 1980! (Before the car accident that broke my femur just above the knee, and which subsequently led to many years of suffering affecting both my knees). I am extremely thankful to Mr Sood for being my surgeon on three occasions: he has replaced both knees and I although I didn’t know it at the time, he had operated on my shoulder after an earlier accident back in 2013! His warm, encouraging manner and his positive approach to getting my knees sorted once and for all ...

Mr Sood is always very approachable, pleasant and professional. He is very clear and thorough in the manner in which he answers any questions that you may have.

I had complex total knee replacement surgery 9 weeks ago. Prior to the surgery, I had severe osteoarthritis with a very limited knee range of movement (20 to 80 degrees only). I could only walk painfully for about 20 minutes maximum with a pronounced limp. Now my ROM has almost doubled (0 to 115 degrees) and I can walk without pain and with a normal gait. I am also back to cycling outside. Mr Sood has outstanding surgical skill, expertise and attention to detail. I always felt in safe hands. He has a friendly patient centred professionalism. My consultations never felt rushed and my numerous questions were answered. I would like Mr Sood to carry out my second TKR when it becomes necessary and I would not hesitate to recommend him to my family and friends.

I have been very happy with Mr Sood's excellent care. He has always provided clear explanations of the procedure, encourages you to ask questions, so that you feel fully informed and have no worries about your care and outcomes.

Very clear and helpful

Mr Sood is very informitive and explained everything.

A big thank you to Mr Sood. I had both hips replaced within 2 months of each other, which was a nervous period to go through. I could hardly walk before the procedures. And now, 10 weeks after the second replacement, I am able to walk and I am more or less back to normal life. Mr Sood was excellent at explaining everything from questions I had before the first procedure, right until my final aftercare appointment 10 weeks after the second procedure where he taught me specific exercises to help flexibility and strength, and generally put my mind at rest that everything had gone perfectly.

I appreciated Mr Sood’s professionalism, his reassuring manner and the clarity of his explanations.
