AI Review Summary

Mr Nick Smith gives clear advice to his patients. He puts people at ease and explains their choices. Patients feel safe in his care. Most visits focus on knee pain and meniscus repair.
Nick was excellent. He made us feel at ease and explained everything very well, inspiring confidence.
Nick was helpful during the initial consultations, he was professional and calming on the day of the operation. To date (6 weeks) my new knee is improving every day and I am pleased with the outcome. I would like to say the whole surgical team were brilliant and I admire there dedication and skill.
I recently injured my knee Skydiving and wanted/needed a 2nd opinion from a specialist. I had a couple of options but was advised to see Mr Smith by a family member, who is also a Consultant and a colleague of Mr Smith’s. I have to say it is one of the best decisions I have ever made. An extremely humble gentleman who I’ve no doubt knows exactly what he’s talking about. I was examined thoroughly and after assessing the scans my injury was explained to me in layman’s terms so I could understand exactly what was going on. The clarity I now have has put my mind at ease after what’s been a tricky few months to say the least. I now have a clear plan about what to do moving forward and I’m truly grateful … I couldn’t recommend Mr Smith highly enough.
Really appreciated the advice given and explanations of all my questions.
Nick was very thorough and knowledgeable during my initial consultation. He provided a clear explanation regarding my diagnosis and treatment options and I felt in good hands throughout.
Excellent communication skills Highly knowledgable and an expert within the field Gave me complete confidence in the management plan
Nick made me feel at ease from my first encounter with him. Explained in layman's terms what was done and to a degree how it was done. Showed my new knee on an x-ray where I could see exactly where the new parts fitted. Although it was quite a brief meeting it was informative
Appointment was a bit delayed ie 15-20 mins, but otherwise fine
Nick has been very professional and great to work with. Would recommend him to anyone looking at Knee surgery
As always, Mr Smith was courteous and explained everything succinctly.
