Punctual. Happy pleasant demeanour. Through explanation. Readily answered 'stupid' questions from me. Can't fault my experience.

It was wonderful to see your recovery and sending my best wishes.
Everything from my preliminary care to post op care has been excellent. Felt I could ask anything. Clear details of the operation and what to expect were spot on. It was much appreciated as was obviously apprehensive prior to surgery.

I was extremely pleased to see that your recovery and rehab have been fantastic. Regards
I experienced quite a lot of pain after the operation and was sick & nauseous for a couple of days However the nursing staff were very attentive I was given painkiller's & they helped me to move around as I felt quite helpless initially . I trusted my surgeon completely he came to see me several times & was very kind I had enormous help from husband & my family which I found crucial in aiding my recovery I slept quite a bit for the first few weeks I gave my self little goals to achieve every day but had to monitor it by not doing too much . Occasionally I would feel a bit down but friends helped me to laugh I can honestly say the surgery has given me my life back & I look forward to being able to dance again one day so I keep doing the physiotherapy & try to be patient ! Thank you to you all at Spire but especially my surgeon for my new hip .

Thank you for the kind words and it was reassuring to see your wonderful recovery. Best wishes.
Appointment slightly delayed but I expected this. Consultant was polite and professional.

Visit as follow up to hip replacement. Mr Gowda was very polite and kind. He listened to what we had to say and answered our questions patiently and clearly. He didn't make us feel rushed and took his time. He is very knowledgeable and has supported well through this experience.

Thank you for the comments. It was great to see the recovery and the progress. Kind regards. SG
Mr Gowda has been very clear in his explanation of what the procedure entailed and the possible outcomes including level of pain possible although luckily I experienced only mild discomfort. His approach is friendly but extremely professional - an excellent bedside manner. He gave enough time for me to ask any questions I might have and was at all times reassuring. I felt confident about my treatment and that he was listening to me. Absolutely no complaints.

Thank you for your kind words and it was great to see your fantastic progress! Best wishes.

I like to take this opportunity to thank Mr Gouda for his excellent work he did on my knee. my recovery was very quick and I’m so pleased with the outcome. not just Mr Garda, but all the staff were very caring and understanding which helps for a quick recovery. After many years of pain I am now able to walk unaided and pain-free. Also, I feel like I’ve got my life back i’m going to do things that I couldn’t do before. Thank you again from a very happy Lady
