Mr Simon Tilley

Having chosen Simon Tilley to perform my hip replacement operations was the best decision I can remember taking. He has transformed my life, quite literally. He was so human in his approach, and explained to me in very clear terms what he saw to be my pre-op arthritic condition to be and what the operation would entail. I felt total confidence in him from the off, and once the first hip was replaced, I knew I had no reason to fear the second. He is an amazingly capable surgeon with wonderful communication skills, who puts his patients at complete ease in what can feel scary moments in time, especially for those unused to being in hospital care.

Mr Tilley provided a very good examination and explained everything fully

A very professional and delightful man, making us fully at ease. He informed us of all the details, and carried out a hugely successful operation, of which we are profoundly grateful.

From our 1st consultation I knew I had the right consultant. He explained everything clearly and answered all the worries and concerns I had. He is a very caring, considerate and understanding consultant. He understood the circle I was in not being able to loose weight due to being immobile - I still can hear him say “how can I sit here and see how much pain you’re in and not help you”. I have had both my knees replaced using the robot. Mr Tilley has totally transformed my life from being permanently in a wheelchair to having my life back. Together with Diane is secretary they make a formidable team.

I was made to feel valued and understood by both Mr Tilley and his secretary Diane. The whole experience was personal and kind.

Simon could not have been more helpful. From the first meeting, he was knowledgeable, calm, reassuring and confident. The surgery pre and post was excellent. I can’t rate him highly enough. The outcome post surgery has been amazing too and his secretary (Diane) was extremely efficient and helpful.

From having a complex right hip revision in January 2022 to a ‘straight forward’ left hip replacement in September 2022, I was very pleased with the process/ service overall from Simon Tilley Specifically, the initial explanation of the plan regarding the two procedures helped me understand what was involved and although the second procedure was postponed on two occasions, this was outside his control .I was provided with timely information on new appointments by his efficient secretary Diane Gubbins which helped with travel arrangements as I live on the Isle of Wight and need to book ferries.

The treatment and all round service I received from Simon Tilley and his team was superb. Simon Tilley is everything you would want a surgeon to be; clinically excellent, diagnostically accurate, surgically skilled, enthusiastic, decisive, and a really nice man. His concern for my long-term condition was refreshing, his reassurance about the treatment plan was encouraging and my total hip replacement was done quickly and efficiently with no problems of any kind. I cannot recommend him highly enough. I’m 62 years old and have never received such exemplary care from the medical profession and I’m extremely grateful. 7 months on, I wouldn’t even know I’d had a hip replacement. My life has been transformed. I also want to mention Diane Gubbins, whose efficient secretarial support and friendly, helpful approach made the whole process stress-free. Nothing was too much trouble for her, and I felt she really cared about the way my treatment was going. A big thank you is due to her as well. All in all, if anybody is looking for a hip or knee surgeon, I would recommend Simon Tilley without a moment’s hesitation.

Top marks to Simon Tilley and his team before , during ( when I was asleep of course! ) and after surgery. Excellent clinical care, and superb admin thanks to his secretary, Diane Gubbins.

He welcomed us promptly as we arrived. Explained everything in depth in an easy to understand manner, putting our daughter and our minds at ease. We feel we would be in safe hands under his care.
