Mr Johnathan Craik

Written by a private patient at The Elective Orthopaedic Centre

Mr Jonathan Craik came to me highly recommended by an acquaintance who had had a total hip replacement carried out by him and was clearly doing very well. I in turn have since recommended him to several friends and acquaintances who are in need of the same surgery. I have found him to be friendly, easily talkable to, with any questions or queries one may have being answered clearly; he is at pains to explain everything fully and simply, using diagrams, one's own x-rays, etc. to illustrate the procedure. I chose to have my hip replacement performed by him, as he is one of the surgeons who offers the direct anterior approach. Having the surgery done this way has resulted in an incredibly rapid recovery, casting aside my crutches and stick after ten days or so, and driving again after two weeks - albeit an automatic car. The pain I had been experiencing for years disappeared almost overnight. Mr Craik has been so attentive, even visiting me in the hospital the morning after surgery while he was off duty, which I very much appreciated. His reassuring manner, as well as his undoubted medical abilities, have meant that I am looking forward to having my other hip operated on, rather than dreading another surgical procedure!
