No problems here mr Bailey is very experienced and excellent professional
I recently under went meniscus surgery with Mr Bailey and had a fantastic experience. He thoroughly explained the MRI results, surgical options and rehabilitation expectations. He was great at answering all my questions pre and post op and my knee is in great shape. Highly recommend to anyone considering Mr Bailey for their knee. Thank you !!
All information was clearly and professionally delivered Always felt well informed and at ease with everything happening Amazing service start to finish
Mr Bailey had reviewed my results and pin pointed the problem which led to my diagnosis which had not been included in the result of MRI. This was satisfying to hear which gives me a solution going forward.
Polite, welcoming and professional. Informative and answered remaining questions.
Friendly, putting me a ease with straight to the point information of what my operation would entail
Mr Bailey was exceptional. Pre op, he went out of his way to explain in detail the problem that my wife had with her knee and the benefit of surgery to improve her mobility and reduce the level of pain she was currently suffering. Post op, again he explained in detail how the surgery went and what his findings were during the procedure. He was also instrumental in recommending a course of physio to assist with her recovery. Overall my wife has been very pleased to have had Mr. Bailey as her physician and we both have a very high regard for his skill set and for him as an individual.
It has been 9 weeks since my knee operation and this was my follow up appointment. My knee is getting better every day and after getting my knee checked both Mr Bailey and I are delighted with how the operation went and how the recovery is progressing.
Mr Oliver Bailey was excellent throughout my ACL surgery and recovery. He was brilliant from start to finish — clear, reassuring, and extremely skilled. The surgery went smoothly and I always felt I was in the best hands. Highly recommend him to anyone needing knee surgery.
At initial consultation my problem and it's remedy was clearly explained by Mr Bailey. I was very reassured after the consultation. The operation Was successful , the after care has been excellent. At my final consultation Mr Bailey was interested in how my recovery was progressing.
