Mr Burwell was very clear and cogent explaining the before surgery & post surgery XRays of my hip. He tested my capacity to do various physical moves. He explained clearly that I could. Expect further improvements in my movements over the next few months. He examined my scar & was pleased with how it has healed & said it would improve further in time. He confirmed I would not need any further follow up but assured me if I had any problems I should telephone him. I am very pleased indeed that I chose Mr Burwell to perform this surgery for me and am delighted with the results.
Always very reassuring and attentive to what I am describing . Feel as if I am in good hands.
Very efficient. In time. Reassuring. Can’t speak highly enough of Mr. Burwell. He is an exceptional person and highly skill d surgeon. My hip, having been very painful, is now painful free, I am walking upright and normally. A miracle!
Always a pleasure to see Mr Burwell. Affable and professional.
I want to thank Mr Burwell and his team for the very skilful and successful hip replacement surgery I received at the Sulis Hospital near Bath recently. From the initial consultation to the post-op appointment, the process and expectations were communicated in a kind and personable way, and I felt that my needs and concerns were listened to and understood. As I continue to heal I am enjoying getting back to a normal, pain-free life.
I have only good things to say about my experience of hip replacement under the skilled professionalism of Mr Matthew Burwell and his team at Sulis Hospital. I am now pain free and healing fast. It's a truly life changing operation.
Very friendly with clear explanations of procedure and what to expect
Hip surgery is not a walk in the park but having had hip replacement on both sides I would not wish to choose anyone else. His attention to you as a patient is first class. I have always been made to feel at ease with the whole procedure and he has been very clear about what to expect. My sincere thanks.
Heartfelt thanks for waving your magic wand (called surgery)! I intend to keep myself as fit and healthy as possible, so as not to squander the pain free gift of my new hip! I hope to that at a later date I should require similar surgery on my right hip, I shall be fortunate enough to return to you and your team at Circle.
Dear Mr Burwell, I'm back on Ski's for the first time in four years. Sun, Snow and no hip problems. Thank you so much.
Mr Burwell is an exceptional hip surgeon with excellent outcomes.
