It was a very good experience from start to finish. I had the utmost care and professionalism shown to me throughout my experience at The Sulis,Bath. From the Surgeon Mr Heaton down to the booking in team. I would highly recommend having surgery at The Sulis with Mr Heaton undertaking my Hip replacement in February, now a full knee replacement on the 30th September
I am extremely pleased with both the hip replacement operation and the very professional explanation of what would be done and the follow up treatment , I found Mr Heaton very personable caring and made me feel very relaxed before and after the whole procedure. This has improved my confidence and certainly my lifestyle so a big thank you .
Dr Heaton was extremely polite and welcoming, gave me a full diagnosis and what my options are. I would highly recommend Dr Heaton.
Mr Heaton described what was going to be done very well
Not prone to going over the top with description but from the reception to discharge the whole experience was first class
I had a check up appointment today regarding my recent successful hip replacement performed by Sam Heaton, The operation has changed my life already and I will be forever grateful. Sam is very skilled and knowledgeable and explains everything so clearly. I am over the moon with the outcome and was in very good hands, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sam as your surgeon. Thank you so much.
Great surgeon - informative, very knowledgeable, couldn’t ask for more. At 8 weeks post surgery back riding my horse at the age of 68 and really pleased with the results. Put myself and my wife at ease throughout and highly recommend Mr Heaton.
Excellent experience, clear explanations, and an extremely positive outcome. Appointment was bang on time as well. Very positive experience all round.
Considering I only met Mr Heaton at the time of my operation (due to Mr Latimer operation being cancelled and re-booked with Mr Heaton) he was very friendly, informative and very welcoming. I would like to have my left hip (when needed) done by Mr Heaton. Very pleased with the overall process and so glad I'm pain free. 100% HAPPY. 💙 XX
