My ACL surgery went really well and I’m genuinely relieved with how everything turned out. The medical team was professional and reassuring throughout the entire process, which helped ease a lot of my nerves beforehand. The procedure itself went smoothly, and my recovery has been better than expected so far. Pain has been manageable, and I’ve already started making steady progress with movement and strength. Overall, I feel optimistic about getting back to normal and grateful for the care I received.
Attended for a final check. All went well and expectations were met. Feel like I have recovery plan and if anything changes can contact for advice.
Oliver is thorough and explained everything very well
I find Mr Bailey to be very professional and shows genuine care and interest in my well being and recovery. From the initial meeting to our conclusion meeting today I have felt no stress or anxiety about the entire process. In closing I would have no hesitation in recommending Mr Bailey to friends and family.
Mr Bailey was clear with what was required and the whole process has been very easy to navigate. I have gone from experiencing long term pain in my knee to having none with mobility and strength far exceeding my expectations. It has been an excellent experience.
After months of waiting on the NHS I went to see Mr Bailey. After my initial consultation I felt such relief as not only was there a clear plan of what we were going to do, but relief came from being actively listened to about my injury and my concerns. Ultimately we made the decision that keyhole surgery for my medial meniscal tear was the best option. The daily pain I was in, I often described as a persistent dull ache but it was gone almost immediately after surgery. Since the surgery I have felt like a new person. Mr Bailey remembered a comment I made about my concerns on looking after my young children with the lack of mobility. I was pleased not only to get my full motion back thanks to his skill but found him so personable with the fact that he remembered this comment several months later at my final consultation. Thank you Mr Bailey!
Was extremely professional from start to finish. Everybody was lovely genuine people who cared
Mr Bailey has a very calming manner, fully explained everything in an easy to understand way. There was no superiority or talking down, just easy going dialogue rather like talking to an old friend.
Visited Ross Hall surgery to get conformation of results for an MRI. Mr Bailey was clear with his advice and very friendly in his manner. It was a reassuring visit.
Olie is an excellent surgeon and always caring for his patients.
