Dr. Culpan is excellent! I've had a few major operations performed by him this year, after breaking my hip and femur in a very unusual way and subsequently to repair and replace two damaged ligaments in my knee. I was made to feel prioritised at ease throughout, with full confidence I was in the most capable hands. Aside from his excellent bedside manner, making sure I was clear on and comfortable with the approach to my surgery, Culpan carefully refined his original plan to ensure I had the best possible outcome. What was major surgery felt like a breeze considering. I was thankfully to be on my feet in no time! He also gave firm advice on the optimal diet for my recovery, and continues to monitor me closely to make sure I'm on track. I also test his patience with my millions of questions, he never fails and he's always so pleasant. The facility at LIPS is also worth noting. Modern, clean and well maintained, located within the mall with ample parking. The facility boasts an in house pharmacy so I could leave with my prescriptions and supplements as well as imaging, blood testing and more under one roof. Friendly and capable staff. Super convenient. My care under Mr. Culpan has been absolutely top notch!
Mr Culpan was an excellent surgeon. Explained everything very clearly beforehand, and talked me through the options and the pros and cons of each. Surgery was a complete success, and I was very well looked after by Mr Culpan and his team at the London Clinic. Post-operation, he has been supervising my rehab and has seen me regularly to see how I am progressing. Would recommend highly.
From the explanation of the knee problems identified on the MRI scan to the completion of the rectifying procedure, Dr Culpan's manner and professionalism gave me complete confidence and assurance.
I cannot sing Mr Culpan's praises highly enough. Not only is he so skilled surgically, but he has an excellent bedside manner and always deals with things in a humane and intelligent way.
Paul was friendly and clear in his explanation. Office staff were prompt and polite.
Mr Culpan performed my right hip replacement, and the results have been life-changing. From the first consult through to recovery, he explained things clearly, answered all my questions, and helped me feel confident about the procedure. The surgery went smoothly, pain control was good , and I was back to activities sooner than I expected. Mr Culpan is very passionate about his work, which is lovely to see as a patient. I would highly recommend him.
Mr Culpan is an experienced practitioner and a complete gentleman. His warm and friendly manner immediately sets you at ease and his wealth of knowledge inspires confidence.
A review one year after surgery to check implant and range of movement in both hips. Mr Culpan very pleased and I was discharged. Extremely pleasant.
A fantastic experience all round. Clear, communicative, and give me the time to explain my conditions, and talk through various options.
My review with Mr Culpan was excellent. He is professional, and has an excellent bedside manner. He was patient and clear when answering my questions.
Mr Culpan is a highly knowledgable and kind Orthopaedic consultant that I have no hesitation in recommending my patients to. They speak very highly of him and the level of care he provides, and he goes the extra mile in ensuring the best possible care is provided.
