Excellent care, staff were really considerate. Mr Gleeson and his team were really informative, so I knew what was going to happen during surgery. I am glad I had the partial knee replacement , I am now without that pain That comes with knee Arthritis. I am looking forward to getting back to normal.

I had a successful full right knee replacement at the Winfield Hospital a year ago. Mr Gleeson has taken care at all times before and after the surgery to explain what will happen, the risks involved, the recovery time and the discomfort involved. Options were laid out and all decisions were mine having been given all the information I needed. At all times he was courteous, respectful and professional.

My visit today 10.9.26, was for a 6 week follow up on a total knee replacement. I went to Reception then sat down and waited to be called. After only 5 minutes I was called by Karen to go and see Mr Gleeson my Surgeon. He examined my scar and my knee while I was standing and sitting and then moving my leg up and down while also sitting. He answered a couple of questions that I had about further movement. Mr Gleeson seemed very pleased with my progress and said it was 10 out of 10. I was pleased too with what he said and found him extremely helpful and professional in his approach to me. Thank you.
