I Want Great Care - "David carried out a hip replacement for me. From my initial consultation he was very reassuring and put me at ease, explaining clearly and in detail what to expect during the operation and the choices available with regard to anesthetics etc. I believe my operation was more complicated than normal due to already having a screw in my femur from a previous operation many years before, and was a concern for me. However David was able to successfully remove it without causing any damage or degradation to the joint. I have just had my one year check, and all is good. I am walking completely normally and totally pain free and now have my life back again. Top marks to this man. I recommend him at the highest level!".
