I had my operation at Ayr Hospital & felt very supported & informed throughout my experience, all staff were great, looked after me well & assisted in my recovery.
Came in to get 2nd knee replacement n it wasn't as bad as 1st but still big operation still having numbness with 1st knee which was done in October last year so expect the numbness to last quite a while with the 2nd knee
Mr. Wilson is a quiet and polite person who answers all your questions in full. He does not indulge in irrelevant chit chat but is always very professional and as far as I was concerned an excellent surgeon
Our consultation was to get a further opinion and more information about an upcoming surgery. Mr Wilson listened to us and explained his recommendations thoroughly to us. We left feeling a lot more confident and reassured.
Operation went well. I was kept informed about the procedure and aftercare. All staff were very attentive. Pain was well looked after. Ross Hall works to a high standard.
Great visit, explained the results of my op well. Has been a seamless process since my initial diagnosis. Delighted with the service.
My experience was very good and professional. The diagnosis was straight to the point and was very clear on what had happened. The surgery seemed like it was done very well and my knee has recovered very well so far.
Really happy with care received. Professional and caring.
Excellent everything was explained good .and really happy with result.
