I saw Mr Millington about my knee. He was keen to hear my story, and then to look at the investigations I had already had. His explanation of the problem was clear an he was able to plan a management plan with me. He listened to my concerns and was honest about how I might be affected in the future. Fortunately, I need no surgical intervention at this stage and can be managed by appropriate rest and physiotherapy. He tackled my issues with clarity and professionalism and left me knowing exactly what I needed to do.

I had my 6 month check up with Mr Millington, following a partial knee replacement in October 2025. Everything has worked out exactly as Mr Millington predicted. My left knee is very strong and I have made a full recovery. Mr Millington is kind, emphatic, funny and incredibly good at his job. He is caring and quick to follow up the appointments with letters to me and my gp. I strongly recommend Mr Millington.
