My Arthroscopy, something I hadn't had before, was very smooth and trouble-free. The Nuffield Hospital in Plymouth makes you feel comfortable and informed from the minute you arrive to the minute you leave. The consultant, Mr. Coleridge, was extremely professional and personable. I cannot fault the quality of the care and the treatment.
Excellent. Prompt service and my knee is a million times better.
The diagnosis that I was given was far worse than I expected but it was delivered to me gently, professionally and with kindness.
Mr. Coleridge gave me the confidence to proceed with the operation, and that it would be a success and remove my ongoing pain and allow me to return to playing squash and other demanding sports.... even a simple dog walk. Following the operation I am now pain-free and working on my physio for a full recovery.
All staff were kind and helpful which made the experience go smoothly. All stages of the process were explained and the care given was exceptional
