Dr Sven Putnis has been brilliant from start to finish. He's always been incredibly friendly and caring, giving excellent advice. He's clearly a highly skilled surgeon as my ACL reconstruction was very successful. Post-surgery, Dr Putnis has always seemed very happy to see me and shown a genuine interest in how I'm getting on. He demonstrates his knowledge in an interest way that has been easy enough for me to understand. I cannot recommend Dr Putnis highly enough!

Mr. Sven Putnis , is an exceptional wonderful surgeon . As i have a massive phobia of hospitals, from day one that I met him , he made sure that every step of the way of my full knee replacement from seeing him in outpatients , right through to yesterday seeing him for a check up , he has made me feel at ease . He is understanding , caring and explains everything and nothing is too much trouble for him. I personally cannot thank him enough . If I ever have to have surgery for my other knee again , I most definitely would want to be under him again . Anybody that is under him , is very lucky as he is a brilliant surgeon and I would recommend him to anyone . Thank you Sven for being so kind and for doing an amazing job on my knee and giving me a chance to be able to walk without pain . You truly are an amazing , lovely surgeon who I will never forget .
