From the first appointment regarding my very painful knee, Mr Carrothers showed me great kindness and compassion and was totally empathetic. The service I received from Mr Carrothers and his PA was exemplary, particularly given the very difficult circumstances around Covid. I am now pain free for the first time in many months.

Very professional while listening to my description of my problem from thye xray I had prior to the first consultation and the examination he diagnosed my condition and scheduled a CT Scan just to get the full picture of when he would be dealing with. Day of surgery 12/07/2021 Arthroscopic keyhole surgery fo a torn meniscus in the left knee again professional while still putting me at ease for what I would be going through as did the rest of the surgical team. Post operation consultation just to check the area of the incisions and how I had been progressing, happy with his work and my outcome was still advised to contact his PA should I have any issues in the coming months as a booking would be made to see him for any corrective measures required.

I had hip replacement surgery eight weeks ago performed by Mr Carrothers. Having been in pain for years I was searching for a surgeon who I felt I could trust, Andrew Carrothers was recommended by a friend. Right from the start, when I spoke to Carol his secretary, she put my mind at rest. Mr Carrothers was professional, kind and understanding, he allayed my concerns and explained the surgery clearly. The surgery has exceeded my expectations, I am now free of pain can walk and move with ease. I was off the crutches in four weeks, was back working on my allotment within a few weeks, in fact I went for a walk around Wicken Fen on the way home from my six week post op appointment. I can dance, jump around, walk miles and more than anything feel like I have got my life back. I would certainly recommend Mr Carrothers and his team for excellent care. Thank you for the care Kathryn.

Had a second operation to remove a broken screw from my left leg and I was in the care of Mr Carrothers for this and from the first consultation up until and after the operation Mr Carrothers made me feel totally at ease with everything and he changed my life by removing the pain I was living with at home and at my work so I very highly recommend Mr Carrothers to any of my friends and family.
