I had a consultation with Mr Carrothers in September 2022 after which we reached the decision that the time had come that both my knees would need total knee replacement surgery. Mr Carrothers has a very easy relaxed friendly manner he is very attentive and listens very carefully to any concerns you may have and answers all questions in a way that is easy to understand .I left the consultation feeling very informed knowing exactly what options were available to me and felt reassured knowing that I could not have been in better hands. I was admitted to the Nuffield Cambridge on 22 November for total knee replacement of my right knee using the MAKO Robotic procedure.I am now just over two weeks post op and recovery is going well I have minimal pain very little swelling and my right leg is straighter than it’s been for years ! [ I was walking in a slightly stooped manner prior to surgery ]. I was very anxious and nervous on the morning I was admitted but the incredible nursing team on Evelyn Ward immediately put me at ease as did Mr Carrothers and his Anaesthetist Raz Mahroof, who took the time to explain about the spinal anaesthesia and exactly what would happen prior to the operation. Their care was outstanding throughout and I cannot thank them enough.I will feel far less anxious when having my left knee done all being well in three months time. I would like to thank all those who were involved in my care and I cannot recommend Mr Carrothers and his team highly enough, including his PA Carol Morse whom I found to be super efficient ,friendly and helpful in all exchanges.
