Courteous, professional , polite , knowledgeable ,. Mr.Krkovic explained the condition clearly and thoroughly.
The consultant in question was fantastic. He explained every thing I needed to know and gave me a number of options for my knee. Would recommend this consultant to everyone 10 out of 10 service.
A refreshing doctor’s appointment! Helpful and very friendly. Finally felt like one’s being heard and would be helped. Very grateful.
Excellent bedside manner and explained everything clearly
Mr Krkovic clearly explained my options, the procedure and risks to be considered in a calm and professional manner
We came to a joint decision that at my age now, and my medical history, that an operation on my knee would not be right, I asked if I could have another injection. He referred me back to my Doctor.
Matjia is a fantastic surgeon with excellent skills. He looks after patients and undertakes the most complex of cases where others do not. He is kind and caring.
