Mr Patel, was very kind and listened to me regarding my health and disabilities. He put my mind at ease regarding my care plan going forward.
Mr Patel was welcoming, polite and informative, pleased to see the progress I'd made in such a short time
A talented and engaging specialist. He's done both hips now, shame I may not meet him again.
Overall, there have been many aspects of my care that have been exceptional, but I do feel there are areas where patients can become a little lost between departments. It took a long time for me to finally receive treatment for my knee. However, once I was under the care of Spire and had my procedure, the experience was extremely professional.

I only saw the surgeon very briefly afterwards, for around a minute, and I would have appreciated more feedback about the operation, what was found, what had been done and what I should expect during recovery. I also feel that aftercare and checks relating to other existing conditions could be better coordinated. For example, I have a history that puts me at increased risk of blood clots.
