Mr Carrothers was highly recommend to me by another client of my physiotherapist who was treating me for my torn meniscus. I had already been to a consultant who had been unsympathetic, insensitive and not a bit proactive about my knee. I am a fit and active 61 year old lady and wanted to do all I could to retrain my knee back into walking a good distance, running, biking and swimming having torn the meniscus in my right knee. My first consultation with Mr Carrothers was so positive; I felt he listened to what I said..and understood what I was asking. After X-rays and an MRI scan Mr Carrothers suggested a knee arthroscopy to trim the torn meniscus and “tidy up” the inside of my knee; he explained the procedure and what to expect afterwards. On the day of my operation, I was treated impeccably at the hospital..it was my first experience of a general anaesthetic so I was nervous but Mr Carrothers and his team were just brilliant. After my operation I was up and walking within an hour or so. Within 3 weeks I was experiencing just mild discomfort and after my 6 week check (today!) my knee is doing well. I am already walking for up to an hour at a time and biking with no problem. I must add too that after 6 weeks my arthroscopy scars are tiny and are very difficult to see on my kneecap! I have no hesitation in recommending Mr Carrothers both for his surgical skills and knowledge.. and for his care and understanding. Thank you so much.
