I am very pleased with my partial knee replacement. It has been life changing for me and I am now back to being pain free and doing my normal activities including longer walks and the gym. 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.

For many years of pain trying to put a brave face on my general well being, became just too much and seekers medical help in diagnosing my condition. It was found that my hips needed replacing because of years wear and tear. My visit with My consultant Mr Hunter was an apprehensive one but rewarding experience. Apprehensive because I have not experienced surgery before but the outcome is night and day; I am feeling like I have my life back and looking forward to doing all the things that I couldn’t do with hip pain. Mr Hunter gives you so much confidence and clarity making you feel eased, confident and that your in good professional hands. The whole process from the first consultation and working through the whole process from consultation, surgery and aftercare is so professional, caring and informative process and the outcome is so rewarding and exciting looking ahead. Thank you

I cannot recommend Mr Hunter highly enough. From my very first consultation through to my six-week follow-up, he was warm, professional, caring, and incredibly reassuring. He took the time to answer all of my questions clearly, which gave me complete confidence and put me at ease throughout the whole process. My hip replacement operation went extremely smoothly, and my recovery has been just as positive. My wound healed beautifully, I experienced very few problems during recovery, and after just six weeks I am walking well and, most importantly, completely pain free. I am so grateful for Mr Hunter’s skill and expertise. Having my mobility and quality of life back has been life-changing, and I couldn’t be happier with the care I received. Thank you to Mr Hunter and the whole team for making what could have been a daunting experience such a positive one.

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.
