I requested a consultation for knee pain. Mr Aslam immediately recognised it was a hip problem by the way I was walking. He did a total right hip replacement and now I am living without pain for the first time in 2 years and 4 weeks after my operation I walked 2.2 miles one day. I am 84 years old. I am so pleased with minimal scarring.

I cannot praise and thank Hugh Apthorp highly enough. This was my second hip replacement surgery, the first being a few years ago. Whilst I was satisfied with my prior op, this was a wholly different experience. Mr Apthorp’s non-invasive technique has been a revelation. My recovery is significantly better. The lack of muscle damage has made a huge difference. In addition his calm, reassuring manner made me feel completely at ease through the whole journey. I am so so grateful to you and your excellent team.

Mr Shah was great all round, explained things to me great and was very understanding. Really nice guy would highly recommend

I write this further to a double total hip replacement in March 2024, performed by Mr Giles Stafford. I am now four and a half months post-op.  The experience, care and outcome could not have been better.   As a former physiotherapist, I observed Mr Stafford's expertise and top quality throughout my treatement. A still practising physiotherapist friend recommended him, having observed consistently outstanding post-op results for Mr Stafford’s patients. That has certainly been my experience. Pre-op, I had gradually increasing pain and decreasing mobility over a number of years. By the time I went for a consultation, most days I struggled to limp more than five minutes, perhaps 100 metres. My world had narrowed to adapt to an inability to tolerate walking or being upright for more than very limited time periods.  Following investigations of my hip and pelvis in different postures, Mr Stafford was immediately able to confidently identify the issue (severe degeneration of both hip joints) and lay out options for treatment, along with associated pros, cons and risks (impressively able to evidence this with precise data at his fingertips). I appreciated Mr Stafford’s candour and care to recommend that, for me, replacement of both hips at the same time may be a preferable option (despite the fact that two operations would be more lucrative and less intensive work for him personally).  The care and protocols around the op were exceptional. Mr Stafford and his associates had the process and timings around the surgery down to a fine art. Every step is carefully considered and executed according to Mr Stafford’s considerable experience and evidence of what works best - pre and post x-rays and scans, pain control regime, ambulating with a Zimmer frame within hours of waking post-op, three physio sessions next day, advice for return home, exercise and work, follow up x-rays and consultations.  Outcome? Post-op I could immediately feel that the locking and restriction around my hips and surrounding areas (pelvis and spine) was much reduced; this has continued to just get better and better. I have gradually but surely progressed with gaining mobility, strength and exercise tolerance, to be able to go the gym and pool three times a week (not done for years). It has taken hard work and discipline to move forward step-by-step. This has been promoted by the fact that post-op and since the pain has been never more than three or four out of ten. Last month I spent four days in Italy with family. On the trip I was able to walk around 10km a day over various surfaces, get on/off and squeeze into cramped tourist buses, climb up and down staircases, ride bikes, sleep in a different bed. Zero hip pain or discomfort (it was the feet and general fitness that had me tired by days’ end). From painful limping a maximum of 100m just a few months ago, this is transformational.  I still have a way to go to lose more weight, get stronger and fitter still. Mr Stafford’s remarkable care has given me the opportunity to do that and live a happier, more fulfilling life. I will be eternally grateful.  Obviously everyone’s condition and experience will be different: from mine, I would unreservedly recommend Mr Stafford as an outstanding hip surgeon. See him, take and follow his advice. I recommend this here as I would to those I care most about.  Daniel 

Professor Field is extremely experienced and very clear in his advice and treatment.

Mr Davidson performed my left hip revision at Guys in Nov 2023. I had had the first op at Spires by Mr Lambu in June 2022. The hip had moved and I was left in pain. I felt my complaints were never addressed. Eventually I managed to get a referral through my GP to Mr Davidson who said I needed a Revision. He explained that the hip joint had moved. After some time (!), I was booked into Guys. The 2nd op felt totally different from the first time I stood up. I was visited by Mr Davidson and his team straight after my op and again before I was discharged. I met one of Mr Davidsons team on my 3 month checkup and then after 6 months I met Mr Davidson. Everything is so much better and this new hip is a success. Thank you, Mr Davison and your team.

All round outstanding. Mr Jaiswal is easy to talk to and very clear in his comments. I have total confidence in his diagnosis, prognosis and advice. I couldn't ask for more in a consultant.

Was very impressed with overall service and the surgery carried out

Explains everything well, very supportive even when negative events occur.

Dr Arjuna was incredibly well spoken in his explanations and concerns for myself as a patient. He explained any query I may have had during the consultation and post MRI. He has given me clear instructions for what to do next in recovery and what he can do for me in the future if things persist.
