I got great care from Andrew Carrothers
I am female aged 69 and underwent Mako Robotic total knee replacement for extensive osteoarthritis damage at the Spire Cambridge Lea (private patient) just under 6 weeks ago.Mr Carrothers answered my extensive medical questions and reassured me pre-op .
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.
I had the most excellent care from Mr Carrothers and the team at Nuffield Hospital Cambridge before during and after successful hip replacement surgery.
I sought advice from Mr Carrothers following multiple pelvic fractures after a cycling accident. He initially gave advice to my local NHS team when I was an in patient. On follow up, privately, I felt very confident in his clear and reasoned advice on returning to running and cycling and his expertise in the management of pelvic injury. Eight months on my recovery is complete with no residual problems and a gold medal in a European age group championship!
Mr Carrothers performed a robotic total hip replacement on my left hip. He is courteous and approachable with a kindly, positive manner. He explains options and procedures clearly, and with his wealth of experience inspires confidence. He listens carefully to questions and concerns, as does his anaesthetist, Mr Mahoof; this measured approach is re-assuring. After the operation I had no swelling or bruising, and after six weeks am delighted with my mobility.
I believe he is an excellent, indeed, exceptional surgeon whom I would highly recommend.
