I consulted David Elson via BUPA after a suffering a knee injury which resulted in pain in the knee whenever there was any pressure or impact put through the knee. The injury was significant enough to halt all running & cycling which form the basis of my 6 days per week exercise routine. I explained my goal was to return to pre-injury levels of pain free cycling & running as quickly as possible. He provided a clear pathway forwards at the initial consultation including immediate x-rays, physio and a follow up MRI scan to rule out some potential causes and establish the nature of the problem. The MRI scan confirmed his expected diagnosis of a partially torn medial meniscus. An arthoscopy procedure was booked and carried out within 10 weeks of the initial consultation. The potential risks & benefits were clearly outlined throughout the consultations. Follow-up physio with was arranged post surgery as well as a follow up consultation. The details of the surgery were discussed post-surgery both on the day of the procedure and at the follow up consultation. I was assured that he was confident there was no reason I should not be able to return to pre-injury exercise levels and normal activities. I am now 7 weeks post surgery and have resumed both running and cycling (pain free) and am now building towards pre-injury exercise levels. In summary, David Elson is very easy to get on with, very experienced in his field and answers any questions or concerns directly and concisely. I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone with knee problems.

Listened patiently and sympathetically. Undertook a careful and thorough examination. Clearly explained the findings of the x-ray and MRI scan. Discussed the management options and involved me in the decision-making. I left the consultation feeling confident with the plans for my further management.
