Nice guy and helpful, the Vitality service overall is terrible. He could not help me with my issue, I ended up self treating by cutting off cast and removing stitches myself.

From my very first consultation with Mr Pollalis, through my partial knee replacement operation itself, my recovery process and our follow up consultation last week he has never failed to inspire and justify my absolute confidence in his skills. Mr Pollalis is an excellent communicator. At our first meeting he described very clearly why an Oxford knee replacement was the optimal treatment option for my medial compartment arthritis. He then detailed exactly what the procedure would involve, the risks involved and what he would do to mitigate each one. Mr Pollalis emphasised his own very keen interest in rapid recovery following knee replacement surgery and in conjunction with his anaesthetist has developed a very detailed and structured recovery plan which he shared with us from the start. The plan covers all aspects of post operative care and pain management and is customised for each patient. The operation itself was a fantastic success. After one night in hospital I was discharged less than 24 hours later and was able to walk to the car on crutches - with no need for a wheelchair. Three days later I dispensed with the crutches completely. I followed Mr Pollalis’ recovery plan rigorously and was able to stop taking opioid painkillers after only five days. By following his plan I was able to complete all the exercises specified by the Physiotherapists which I am sure led to my very speedy recovery. Now, six weeks after my operation I consider my recovery to be complete and I am thrilled with the results of my procedure. I would have no hesitation in wholeheartedly recommending Mr Pollalis and his team to anyone needing knee replacement surgery and am personally profoundly grateful for his excellent work.
