I have a professional ballet background and am an active dancer who has been able to return to professional-level dance following THA. I came to Mr Wilson with considerable apprehension and some very specific, demanding requirements. He listened carefully, considered the surgical options and, drawing on his extensive surgical skill and experience, used his clinical judgement to determine the most appropriate surgical approach for my particular needs. His involvement has extended well beyond surgery.

My right hip operation went well and I have just had the follow up appt confirming all is well. Everything went smoothly and the private operation at the Nightingale was a, good experience.

I was very pleased to meet up with Mr Wilson again today following my hip replacement and subsequent recovery. My overall experience has been excellent, Mr Wilson and his team were very professional, friendly and reassuring throughout the process. I would strongly recommend anyone in doubt about a hip replacement operation to have a private consultation with Mr Wilson as I did back in September. After only 2 weeks I had my operation at the Nightingale Hospital in Exeter where I was well looked after by all the members of staff. May I take this opportunity to thank Mr Wilson and the team for all their hard work and orthopedic and medical skills..

Mr Wilson was able to offer my hip surgery at Nightingale which while saving me money I was very impressed with the whole experience both consulting at the Nuffield and surgery at Nightingale. I hope that if and when I need my other hip replacement I am lucky enough to be able to go to the Nightingale
