I was very grateful for Mr Carrothers’ charisma, patience, willingness to help as best he could. He committed to putting me on the NHS Urgent list for a hip replacement but unfortunately this was anywhere between 12-24 months due to the Coronavirus pandemic. I would not have lasted that long, so between myself and my family we scraped together the funds for Mako surgery, done Privately at the Nuffield in Cambridge by Mr Carrothers. His care and skill are second to none and I can highly recommend his services.

I first met Mr Carrothers in late March 2021. After having my left hip replaced 7 years previously, I was experiencing a similar deterioration in my right hip. He suggested a Mako assisted total hip replacement which was performed on May 17th. I was able to return home after 3 days and have continued a steady and strong recovery… at 4 weeks post op, I now feel strong and pretty much pain free! Today Mr Carrothers has given consent to my driving again which is yet another step on the road to full health!! I would wholeheartedly recommend Mr Carrothers and the procedure he performed as being totally life changing.

I am a 76 year old lady and on 6th April 2021 I had a replacement hip operation at the Nuffield Health Cambridge carried out by Mr Andrew Carrothers privately. I have no hesitation in recommending him and after eight weeks I am walking reasonably well and very pleased to have had the operation and believe the cost was worth it.

I first saw Dr Carrothers in Autumn 2020 when I was in severe pain in my right knee, so much so that my lifestyle of running a family, dogs and enjoying regular exercise was being very much curtailed due to the level of pain I was experiencing. At the age of 42, I was despairing that that was now my life. Dr Carrothers operated on my knee to repair a torn miniscus and flush out the arthritis and generally tidy up my worn out knee. However, my knee remained very swollen and very sore and I feared that the only remaining option was a replacement. After consultation with Dr Carrothers, we agreed to try a PRP injection in March 2021. The results have been tremendous. Two months on, I can now walk my (very largeand boisterous) dogs for an unlimited time over rough farmland, up hills, in slippery conditions without any pain at all: this would have been impossible before my treatment. I can do yoga again (listening to any signs of pain and missing out moves which particularly stress the knee joints), I can run after my children and I can dance around my kitchen again! I am delighted. Rather than facing a prosthetic knee, I now plan to monitor my knee and hopefully control it with future PRP injections when needed. I highly and wholeheartedly recommend Dr Carrothers and PRP injections.
