I am very pleased with the care and attention I received before and after my surgery and with my final appointment and would definitely recommend my consultant and all his team and was very professional looked after before and after my surgery.I would recommend MR Stuart Bell.
Mr Bell has been exceptional throughout my knee surgery and recovery. He always speaks clearly and explains everything in a way that is easy to understand, so I have always known exactly what to expect and what was happening. I genuinely feel that he cares about my progress and rehabilitation, not just from a surgical perspective but also about the impact my knee problems and surgery have had on my life as a whole. He has taken the time to listen and has shown real compassion and professionalism throughout. I have complete trust and confidence in Mr Bell and feel very fortunate to have been under his care.
I recently had a partial knee replacement which i .was really anxious about, however the due care and attention that i received from Mr Bell and his team was excellent. Mr Bell answered all of my questions about the operation which helped to settle my nerves, he came to check on me after the operation as well. My scar is healing really well and is not as bad looking as i thought it would be.
Mr Stuart Bell was extremely helpful and caring throughout the entirety of my surgery and preceding and post appointments
I had an initial consultation with another orthopaedic surgeon first as I thought it was likely that I would need a knee replacement, however scans showed that only a partial meniscectomy was needed. As the first surgeon only does knee replacement etc he referred me to Mr Stuart Bell who was happy to take me on. Mr Bell was very reassuring and prioritised my treatment. The procedure was straightforward and very soon afterwards the staff had me up walking up and down the corridor and even up and down stairs. Overall everything was very straighforward. Strongly recommend Mr Bell.
Mr Bell explained my surgery and the recover process in detail. I felt comfortable with the plan having seen him in clinic.
Extremely satisfied with the care and explanation of the treatment received under mr bell, everything about the procedure was explained thoroughly and the after care has been fantastic.
All aspects of my care, from first online contact, in person appointments, procedure and through to discharge were first class, and the advice I received upon discharge to assist my recovery was most valuable. 10 months on I have made a full recovery and returned to full fitness and activity. I greatly appreciate the work and care of Mr Bell and his team.
My treatment was seamless under the care of Mr Bell. Both pre and post-op. Full explanations of my procedure were given and care and consideration to the next steps in recovery.
Mr Bell was excellent, Explained everything in a way you understood what the issue was and what the options were to have the repair done
Mr Bell is a thoughtful, considered and caring surgeon who is meticulous. I would be delighted for him to treat my friends and family.
