Good and easy experience from start to finish.

Mr Smith was very friendly and professional.
Thank you for your supportive and positive review. It is really appreciated.
Mr Smith was warm and welcoming, able to listen (which sounds simple but you'd be surprised how many can't), discussed the issues and options available, and quickly came up with a plan which I was happy to follow
Absolutely made up that I chose Mr Smith to undertake my operation. A very nice man, knows what he's talking about (which should be a given) but also able to explain it clearly so you can understand yourself. Would recommend to anyone.

Mr Smith is a truly excellent Orthopaedic surgeon, but not only that, he is a lovely, friendly and caring person to deal with. He has an exceptional and professional manner and is really easy to talk to. I would HIGHLY and unreservedly recommend Mr Smith to anyone!
I cannot recommend Rob highly enough. He was incredibly clear in his explanations throughout, and conducted a fantastic surgery which created an excellent outcome.
Robert was very patient and explained the procedure to me in detail. He knew that I was very nervous and he put me at ease with his kind nature.
Thank you for your kind review. I'm pleased that you felt at ease for your knee injection and hope that you are doing well.
