AI Review Summary
This summary was created by AI based on recent reviews
Mr Robert Gleeson is professional, friendly, caring, and reassuring. He gives clear explanations for procedures such as total knee replacements, partial knee replacements, and ACL reconstructions, all with successful outcomes. Patients experience swift recoveries, regaining mobility to enjoy activities like walking and sports. Overall, patient feedback highlights the life-changing results of knee surgery.
My final visit was a review 1 year post surgery. The X-rays showed my knee replacement was stable and had healed well. Mr Gleeson reassured me that I should now be confident to do most things that I did before.
Rheumatoid arthritis had destroyed both my knees to such a degree that I could barely walk from the pain and deformity. Mr Gleeson replaced my knee joints and, with his expertise and years of experience, made them straight again. My right knee in May 2025 and my left knee in June 2026. I’m now able to walk as I used to be able to, without pain or sticks. Mr Gleeson is kind, empathetic and his skills as a knee surgeon are second to none. Thank you so much!
I had both knees replaced by Mr Gleeson in 2025, should have had them done years ago. Life changing results.
great feedback thank you
Mr Gleeson was excellent, clearly very experienced and knowledgable. Put me at ease even when giving me bad news about the injury I had. He was compassionate and understanding, explained everything to me and gave me the reassurance I needed. I am very grateful for the help and for fixing my knee. Thank you.
Following full knee replacement surgery I have been fairly mobile within 2 weeks of the operation. I am now walking long distances pain free (6 weeks on). I am continuing to build strength and expect to be back to normal activity very soon.
I had a great experience at Winfield Hospital. From start to finish everything was quick and well organised. Special thanks to Mr Gleeson who was brilliant. Really impressed thank you.
Excellent support Explains procedures fully Excellent follow up
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.
