I can unreservedly recommend Mr Adrian Fairbank and all his team at Wimbledon Clinics to anyone requiring a total knee replacement:
After tolerating degenerative cartilage pain in both knees for quite some years – temporarily relieved, to some extent, by arthroscopies – Mr Fairbank had no difficulty persuading me to opt for total replacements of both knees. His professional, thorough diagnosis coupled with attentiveness and a compassionate attitude - and the trouble taken to answer all my questions - ensured a trusting relationship. My wife’s concerns were equally not neglected. Any hesitations I might have had in going ahead were quickly dispelled.
After faithfully following the recommended pre-op exercises my right knee was successfully replaced by Mr Fairbank and his Parkside Hospital surgery team 10 months ago. Recovery was almost pain-free. The regular physical checks coupled with the post-op hydro and land therapy sessions ensured excellent progress was made and there was no difficulty accepting Mr Fairbank’s recommendation to proceed with replacement of my left knee. This was successfully carried out 4 months ago. Whilst understanding that no two knees necessarily recover in the same timeframe, once again the experience was painless and faster progress was made on all fronts.
Mr Fairbank is supported by a full professional team who contributed in their different ways to my wellbeing. All, without exception, went out of their way to help and encourage me at all stages during the in-patient and subsequent recovery process. I am indebted to the nursing staff for their friendliness, dedication and patience - underlined by the unexpected warmth with which I was greeted on revisiting just to have my dressings checked out. The hydro and land physiotherapy staff are second to none. Without their guidance, encouragement and fine-tuning of my exercise regime, particularly for the post-op daily stints at home, progress would have been very difficult indeed. There were no exceptions to the warmth and helpfulness which I encountered at all points from receptionists, back-room staff, porters, etc, etc.
The replacements have ensured I now have totally pain-free knees with unrestricted mobility. Much time has had to be devoted to the daily follow-up exercises, Cryo-Cuff cooling, Knee Hab muscle stimulation and Bio Oil scar massaging, but, gratifyingly, I am now back even to my full norm gym regime. Power-walks have been resumed and I will return to playing doubles tennis next month. The tricky challenge previously presented by the descent of subway stairs is a distant memory. Life will return to full normality when I recommence my business trips to Japan next month.

I was in excruciating pain Mr Bishop saw me immediately and operated the very next day as an emergency. He came in after the op and again on Sat and Sun am.and I felt I could phone him or his excellent secretary Stacy whenever.He told me I would be back playing golf in three months in fact it was 2/12 months. I cannot praise him and the nursing staff enough. Many many thanks.

I found the team at Wimbledon Clinics to be very efficient and helpful at all times, keeping me informed and organising appointments with the Parkside Hospital. Mr Adrian Fairbank was my consultant, and I refer to my more detailed comments regarding Mr Fairbank and the Wimbledon Clinics in the 'doctors' link of this web page.

I was admitted as a day patient in December '16 at 6.45am for an arthroscopy for a meniscal tear by Adrian Fairbank at circa 10am. The admission process and preparation by the staff was first rate, as was the attention and care after the operation. Adrian met with me on the day both before and after the operation and was extremely attentive and helpful. I was allowed to go home just after lunch.
Prior to that I had two consultations with Adrian with a scan in between - all within 4 days and then had the operation 10 days later - brilliant.
10/10 to Adrian and his team and to the hospital staff for outstanding efficiency, care and attention.

My daughter was recommended to the clinic by a friend after having consulted other specialists. All the professionals and supporting staff gave my daughter (and I) confidence in the course of treatment which was recommended with respect to her knee and back.All the staff were extremely responsive and accesible throughout the period of treatment over many months.

Admission time after consultation was excellent. Every effort was made by the co-ordinator and surgeon to accommodate a relatively tight time frame before my taking a short holiday on the Continent. Dealing with this co-ordinator was a considerably improved experience compared with a previous one two years earlier
The process was almost the same as for a similar operation 2 years earlier except for pre-op. tests, which although passed, the results were not made available until I requested them from the nurse at the post-op. consultation. I was also put on a drip for reasons not made known to me at the time. The post-op consultation with the surgeon and subsequent physio appointments showed fine personal consideration.
Notwithstanding the communication issues mentioned in the preceding paragraph, above, and the fact that I'd had a similar procedure two years earlier and therefore knew what to expect, the entire process more than met my expectations.

I was referred to Mr Jonathan Bell at Parkside with a niggling pain in my knee, which I realised had been getting steadily worse and I was days from moving permanently onto a sailing yacht - not the ideal place for joint problems! His Senior Treatment Coordinator, Ellie Davidson, was tireless in finding me an appointment at very little notice, and kept me fully informed with every detail I needed. Mr Bell was thorough and patient in both examining me and explaining his findings and the various courses of action I should consider, and Ellie once again gave me her full attention and time in booking an MRI scan at a different location within a very tight time frame. I felt well looked after throughout, and I was treated with courtesy and respect by friendly, professional people.
