John Hollingdale was excellent in all dealings I had with him, resulting in a partial Knee replacement. He initially saw me and after x-rays and a general chat, recommended what surgery I had, why and the pro’s & cons of the surgery. The surgery was carried out by him and completed to my complete satisfaction, including a neat scar! He later saw me, as follow up to the surgery, and again explained what he saw and showed my x-rays of my new knee. At all times he ensured that I was at ease, new what was happening and answered any questions, I had. I would thoroughly recommend him.

Explanation

I have known John Hollingdale for 30 years and he has always been extremely helpful, also being conservative with his recommendation of treatment. I have recently had a total right knee replacement and my recovery is going as well as I could have hoped for. Prof Hollingdale explained in detail what the surgery would involve, how my recovery would be and answered any questions I had. He is down to earth, friendly and professional. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
