Outstanding care from Professor London and the team at Yorkshire Knee Clinic. The communication has been excellent throughout, and following diagnosis, the surgery was completed successfully within a few days.

I had a surgery scheduled with Professor London, but after a fall this had to be moved forward. Professor London saw me on very short notice and I had my surgery brought forward as soon as he could, which was great. Additionally the surgery went amazingly, my recovery has gone brilliantly and has been much quicker and less painful than I had been brought to expect from this type of surgery. The scars are very neat and small. The entire team Professor London works with are great too, always very polite and helpful. I really cannot recommend Professor London and his team enough

My left knee was operated on by Nick in November, the whole procedure went exactly as Nick said it would. Any questions I had he knew the answers and also why I was asking them. My two follow up visits have both been very professional ,on time and my knee has been passed all tests.

I chose to have my joint replacement with Prof London because of his considerable experience and expertise -with partial knee replacements in particular - and on the recommendation of several colleagues and friends. The whole experience was very professional from start to finish, with the initial consultation providing sufficient information about the risks as well as the benefits of a partial knee replacement. Follow up consultations were reassuring, providing clear and concise information about what to expect in the weeks going forward, and tips for rehab (including for example, kneeing when my instinct would not have been to kneel at all!).
