Communication was very good and I was sent details of the hospital in abergele where I had to arrive by 7.30am and report to Ward 6. All nursing staff and chats with anaesthetist and Mr Hunter were before I went to theatre. I was met by two gentlemen who really put me at my ease regarding having a spinal block and sedation. I was then in recovery and was checked there, was visited by Mr Hunter to check on me. I was then taken to xray and shown my new hip replacement was in place and surgery had gone well. Back on the Ward I was treated very well and given something to eat and drink. Later it was explained by nurse that I would be on blood thinners for 28days that I would have to administer myself. Night in hospital was very comfortable and I was helped out of bed and supported in walking to the toilet and back to my bed. All nursing staff were excellent and very attentive, physio was done on the morning and they explained all the exercises giving me an information sheet to refer to when i got home. I was supplied with a fit note from the nursing team along with my medication just before I left. Mr Hunter and his team in Abergele gave me the best care and turned something I was very anxious about into quite a pleasant straightforward experience. They have improved my quality of life as I am no longer in pain and am now able to return ...

Mr Hunter was very professional and fully explained the procedure and recovery timescales. All my questions and concerns were answered. Mr Hunter adopts an open and friendly approach and I would fully recommend him.

I have known Tom since he started his practice locally. He is a very good clinician and a colleague. I have seen first hand how he deals with his patients with compassion, patience and empathy when he operated on a relative of mine. Technically he is very sound in both elective and trauma surgery. His speciality is Arthroplasty surgery and he is a very competent hip and knee surgeon. I am delighted to write this reference for Tom and wish him the best best in years to come.
