ACL reconstruction surgery - everything went well, recovery ahead of the curve.
Thank you for the update. it's great to hear your recovery is ahead of schedule. Keep up the good work with your rehab, and all the best going forward
I had ACL & Meniscus surgery. Mr Tamer Sweed was so helpful throughout every stage. Initially I was very nervous to have the surgery, but Mr Sweed made me feel much better about the situation. He went out of his way to explain things & I went into surgery more confident. Now 3 months post operation, I am recovering really well. It felt like Mr Sweed really cared, and I appreciated that. Special mention to his secretary Natalie, who was always there to speak with and respond quickly, and a really nice person. Very thankful.
Thank you for such a thoughtful review. I know the lead up to surgery can feel daunting, so I'm really pleased we could put you at ease and that your recovery is going so well at 3 months. I'll be sure to pass your kind words on to Natalie too
I was referred to Dr Sweed by another consultant due to complexities with my knee and alignment issues on my right leg. He was really thorough and explained everything prior to surgery, was very helpful with my questions. He has been consistent with my appointments and again thorough with my post operative care. I have had an excellent experience with Dr Sweed and I am extremely happy with the results.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Knee alignment cases like yours can be complex, so I'm really glad we were able to work through it together and that you're happy with the results. Wishing you continued success with your recovery.
Great doctor and surgeon has fixed my knee and given me great guidance and advice during the recovery period. Very happy with my recovery and rehab after MCL surgery.
Thank you for the kind words I'm really pleased with how your recovery and rehab have gone. Wishing you all the best going forward.
wonderful experience, never thought I would take a pain free step again, but thanks to Mr Sweed I am!!
Thank you for the kind words I'm really pleased with how your recovery and rehab have gone. Wishing you all the best going forward
Amazing experience, was in a lot of pain and going through a lot mentally given the meniscus injury and acl but Mr Sweed kept me reassured. Before and after surgery.
Thank you for trusting me with your care during what was clearly a difficult time. I'm really glad we could keep you reassured throughout, and that things have gone well. All the best with your recovery
Very happy with the surgery and fast recovery,
