Mr Heaton has a great bedside manner & a good sense of humour. He performed keyhole surgery on my knee and waiting for the anaesthetic to be administered the nurse had to leave the room. Mr Heaton and colleague sat with me and asked what music I'd like to hear. As I was given the anaesthetic I drifted off listening to Dido. Everyone including physio are amazed at my recovery. My whole experience from start to finish has been amazing. In the words of Dido "I want to thank you" and the whole team who cared for me at Grantham Hospital on 26th Oct 23. Keep up the good work.

My osteo arthritis in my hip was severe causing pain which affected physical activity, exercise, sleep and general quality of life. After inspection of X-rays I was immediately put on the list for a hip replacement which took place under three months later. The operation was a success, but wiring had to be placed round the femur which had cracked at the neck. Since then my recovery has proceeded well, and seven weeks after the operation I am walking around the house without a crutch, and going for walks of up to two miles using one crutch. Pain has largely gone and improvement is noticeable daily. I must also commend the prompt treatment when attending the fracture clinic.

Following an ACL and meniscus cartilage tear, I anticipated knee surgery and was sceptical when Mr Heaton recommended 6 months of physio before further review. Like many patients, I deferred to Dr Google and when Mr Heaton explained that the Western European approach to this condition differs from that in Australasia, I thought that this might be influenced by NHS resource limitations. Moving 6 months on, I am delighted to have been proved wrong. My rehabilitation has been extremely successful without the need for invasive surgery, and whilst my knee will never be as strong as it was I have a robust and sustainable way forward to maintain my health and agility. Whilst Mr Heaton cautioned that I should expect knee surgery at some point in the future, he supported my optimism that this might be 10 years away. Mr Heaton and his extended team all provided outstanding care and great advice. Thank you.

I was very impressed with Mr Heaton who was caring and understanding at every stage of my treatment My operation went very well and my recovery has been good. My experience of Grantham hospital was great with all the staff with whom I had contact being helpful and caring. I would have no hesitation in recommending both Mr Heaton and the hospital nursing team. My thanks to all concerned.
