Mr Andrew Carrothers

Written by a private patient at Nuffield Hospital Cambridge

After months of debilitating pain in my right leg and hip and a rather traumatic first appointment with another hip surgeon who told me only about the risks of any surgery, I saw Mr Carrothers for a second opinion. He listened carefully and immediately gave me back my confidence with his positive and empowering attitude. He carried out my total hip replacement with Robotic-Arm Assisted surgery, which through its precision, I am sure, contributed to my fast recovery. My treatment was based on cutting-edge research for which I am very grateful. Today, 5 weeks after the operation I am free of pain and astonishingly mobile. I could not have asked for better care.

My first appointment with Mr Carrothers was to discuss not just a new hip replacement operation but also to address a previous issue with the other hip that was causing me ongoing problems. Mr Carrothers was immediately respectful, patient and attentive to my situation and my needs. He answered all my questions clearly, offering me a realistic assessment of what I could expect. This honest approach gave me confidence to proceed. In due course, Mr Carrothers performed the operation which was a 100% success. It is clear to me that even with Mr Carrothers' considerable knowledge and many years' experience, he still takes great interest in each and every individual patient, and I was definitely a beneficiary of this high professional standard. My life is much improved following my operation for which he has my sincere gratitude.

His expertise and empathy is outstanding ,and I recommend 100 % his exceptional skills to any potential patients. I am very pleased with my progress and recovery and amazed at the minimal scarring on my knee . I will arrange for Mr Carrothers to replace my other osteoarthritic knee in due course. The anaesthetist Professor Mahroof who Mr Carrothers works with was first class, and I was also very pleased with the care received at the Spire Hospital.
