Great to be reassured that the support is there as I need it.
I was very pleased to be offered this appointment after 5 years of surgery as I still had a few issues with my right knee and had fallen badly on it twice in the last year so being given x-rays was particularly satisfying to know that both knees were ok
Absolutely fantastic work being done here I was shown my x rays and given a full run down of how great the outcome of this latest surgery has been (I told the Dr I would be recommending him for a knighthood) for services using a robot
I cannot tell you what a refreshing experience I had with Mr Cockshott. He listened, he showed empathy and was really personable. I’m over the moon!
All help and advice received from Mr Cockshott was first class, very, very competent and professional. I was very relaxed and content to be dealt with by someone like him.
Simon is an outstanding hip and knee surgeon. I am always confident that patients I refer to him will received excellent care.
