I am a repeat customer and fan of Mr Spalding. I was initially referred to him by another knee specialist in the Nuffield Trust who felt he was suited to my many knee issues due to his expertise in Meniscus transplants. I highly recommend him. And have had regular consultations with him over the last 10 years.

Mr Spalding is an absolute magician. I’m sure he doesn’t fully realise what he does for people. He sees how bad people are when they come to him. He sees the results of his brilliant work afterwards. He listens to his patients kind words and thanks; but he can’t experience their thoughts and feelings and happiness. Thank you doesn’t say anywhere near enough.
