AI Review Summary
This summary was created by AI based on recent reviews
Mr David Stock is a good, professional doctor. He offers clear explanations. Patients feel at ease. His practice addresses hip and knee conditions.
Always in awe of someone so professional but Mr Stock is very welcoming, explains everything in a concise but easy to understand manner.
I am very lucky in what I do. People are normally in pain with restrictions in their quality of life. The operations I undertake allow the patient to regain their quality of life. It is a privilege that patients put their trust in me.
Had a very interesting appt with my consult, he explained everything going on, so much relief once the Pico was removed, easier to sit down.
Mr David stock is excellent. He is very down to earth and excellent at his job. Very kind gentle and understanding consultant
My appointment was a follow up following my recent injection in my left hip. I explained that the benefit this time only lasted about 3 weeks, so we had a long chat about the pros and cons of having a replacement hip . The reason being that the pain is guessing worse and limiting what I can do on an every day basis , and it is also affecting my sleep. Following our discussion I said that I would like to go ahead , accepting the risks that Mr Stock explained and am hoping to go on his waiting list. I had a right knee replacement in June and the results have been really good, only slight pain and can walk so much better. Mr Stock is very easy to talk to and explains everything very clearly , and makes me feel confident in what he suggests .
Thank you very much for your comments. I'm sorry the benefit from the injection didn't last longer but the expectation is the benefit from the hip replacement will be permanent.
Had a total right hip replacement Mr Stock and his team explained everything
The experience with David Stock is very easy. He is very knowledgeable and puts you at ease.
Fantastic guy, professional, informative, what I like about Mr Stock is he says it how it is. No messing.
Thank you very much . I hope I tailor my Consultation so that person can understand the problem and the options available to them.
Efficient, professional consultation. Gives clear manner that you can understand
Having previously had a complete knee replacement by Mr. David Stock I was very impressed once again with all his explanations of what to expect with my other knee replacement.
