Mr Thomas understood that my prior, hurried meeting with a different consultant had left me confused and nervous. He took the time to walk me through every detail and answered all of my questions fully, explaining all of my options and back-up plans. All of this without once appearing aloof.

I need help with lower back pain brought on , I expect, by a fixed flexion right knee since TKR 5 years ago. All was very professional at the consultation and quickly followed up ( within 1 hour) with an MRI scan.

Mr Thomas was very welcoming and listened to me explaining my back issues. He understood what had happened to my back in previous years and gave me clear advice on what it could possibly be. He has arranged for me to have an MRI after which he said we will discuss next steps.
