Generally a good experience. Cheltenham Hospital was better than expected, especially after a previous bad experience (in another area of medicine).
Staff always greeted me with a smile and made me feel at ease
Staff were very friendly and professional, got good advice and now got a plan going forward.
My experience was honestly amazing, I felt so welcomed and understood. Appointments were easy to arrange and also if I had any problems they were very easy to contact. I honestly couldn’t fault Mr Robert Gleeson and his team.
Fantastic - gave me all the info i needed and felt comfortable to ask if i needed to know anything more about the process
I had my left knee replaced in March 2024 & my right knee in January 2025 . Best thing I ever did to be pain free at last!!!! Excellent treatment by Mr Gleeson and all staff at the Winfield Hospital many thanks to all .
Dr. Gleeson performed my knee operation, and I have experienced no complications or issues since the procedure. From the initial consultation through to post-operative follow-up, his standard of care was exemplary. He took the time to explain the diagnosis, treatment options, and surgical process in clear, understandable terms, ensuring I felt fully informed and confident in the planned procedure. His clinical expertise, attention to detail, and calm, reassuring manner made a significant difference to my overall experience. The surgery was carried out with the highest level of professionalism, and his structured aftercare and follow-up appointments demonstrated a genuine commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. Dr. Gleeson combines technical excellence with compassion and integrity. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone seeking outstanding orthopaedic treatment and patient-focused care.
Excellent visit, ‘signing off’ my knee replacement success at the one year point.
Mr Gleeson's calm, professional manner was exceptional when I attended my 12 monthly post surgery review yesterday. His careful assessment of my x-ray and physical examination of my knee were accompanied by comments any layman could understand, in a friendly, reassuring way. I was feeling particularly anxious ahead of the visit, having experienced a tumble some weeks previously. After listening carefully, he assuaged my fears and suggested increasing my non-inflammatory medication, in the short term.
