Mr Andrew Carrothers

Written by a private patient at Spire Cambridge Lea Hospital

I am delighted with the hip replacement Mr. Carrothers gave me at the end of October, and am about to resume normal activities, including driving, dog-walking and dancing. I was very much at ease with Mr. Carrothers. He listened to what I had to say, and was very reassuring and encouraging.

From my first consultation with Andrew to the CT scan to bloods, everything went like clockwork in a very caring way. Carol Morse was also very efficient in my dealings with her. I also received reminder texts before each meeting which was great. From the moment I arrived at the Spire Lea for my Right Hip operation, it felt like being in a hotel rather than entering a hospital for surgery. This made me very relaxed pre Op. Plenty of nurses coming and going keeping me informed of when my surgery would be. Considering the surgery I felt very little pain post Op. It was more discomfort which was expected. Over the next few days the nurses were very attentive and helped me feel relaxed. Up the following morning walking and the start of the journey to recovery. When I was cleared to leave I had a bag of medication given to me. All items where explained when to take and how long to take them. I am now just over 4 weeks since the operation and comfortable to walk around the house with no crutches. I still use them outside walking just in case. Andrew and his team where owesome. The whole event was very calm and relaxed and easy to take in my stride. If I ever need the other hip done I will certainly be back to Andrew and his team at the Spire Lea in Cambridge. Thanks to all for a great experience.

5 weeks after my hip replacement,I am not experiencing any pain for the first time in three years.I hadn't realised how arthritis insidiously creeps up on you and gradually depletes the quality of your life,as more and more physical pursuits....swimming,pilates and even dog-walking, become difficult. Communicating with Mr Carrothers was easy....as it was with his secretary...and the whole episode in my life went seemlessly. As I slowly resume 'normal' life.....e.g. being able to sleep without waking to shift around....I am so grateful to Mr Carrothers and his team for such an excellent result and recovery.

Andrew Carrothers is a brilliant surgeon! This year he has replaced both of my hips and the end result is no pain and two legs that are of equal length. His manner is very reassuring and I would not hesitate to recommend his surgery to anyone.

It is surgeons like Andrew Carrothers that deserve medals, knighthoods and accolades not celebrities. Mr Carrothers went way beyond the call of duty to help my aunt, slipping out between operations to give her time and listen to her concerns and in doing so he probably saved her life and gave her hope. He is a modern day knight in shining armour and I can’t recommend him highly enough. Men like Mr Carrothers are the backbone of our medical system and work tirelessly. You couldn’t find a better and more dedicated surgeon.
