Mr Carrothers is a most knowledgeable, professional and caring surgeon and human being. He performed my hip replacement 4 years ago and due to the great success of this I had no hesitation in going back to him when my knee started causing problems. As so many other patients have said, Mr Carrothers has a most gentle manner, a lovely subtle sense of humour and explains everything from beginning to end in language we non-medics can understand. He really does care about each individual patient and designs the best treatment and care for each and every one. I had a partial knee replacement by robotic-assisted surgery on 11th January which was a decision Mr Carrothers and I came to together having weighed up the pros and cons of partial v full. Seven weeks on I have thrown away the crutches and am walking pain-free and normally for the first time in some years. My scar is hardly noticeable (my hip scar is now non-existent) as in Mr Carrothers own words he 'takes pride in his work' and he really does, from the initial consultation and throughout the whole process. He told me that 'we are on this journey together' and it really does feel that way. Mr Carrothers will always be my first choice for any orthopaedics, so much so that I turned down a discount offered by my private health providers if I allowed them to choose my specialists. No way! I unreservedly recommend Andrew Carrothers.
