Mr Andrew Carrothers

Written by a NHS patient at Addenbrooke's Hospital

Mr Carrothers did the Harrington Plus precedure almost 2 years ago. I have nothing but praise for his work. From the outset he put me at ease. It was an operation that no one else had offered me. I have Multiple Myeloma with lots of back factures as well as the hip/pelvis problems. From first seeing me (on national health) he looked at my e-rays & said he could help me. My wife & I almost skipped out of clinic that day as he gave me hope. Within two weeks I was in Addenbrookes having a Harrington Plus. With Covid havent seen him too much, however had an face to face appointment yesterday. Hip/pelvis all healed up with no pain in that area. I have nothing but admiration for him & extremely grateful for his hard work.

Following my very successful left hip total replacement in November 2019 I have recently been back to see him to review my right knee. He recommended an arthroscopy as my knee was giving me considerable pain and discomfort. He recently carried out this procedure and I am very happy to say that I am now pain free and looking forward to playing tennis and golf again. I would highly recommend Andrew Carrothers orthopaedic surgeon to anyone. He is extremely caring and considerate.

I am a retired 75yr old male who always enjoyed walking and active sports. I first had dealings with Mr Carrothers in Jan 2020 when he carried out a hip replacement operation for me, the recovery of this did not go as well as I’d hoped but at the same time I was having problems with my knee. Mr Carrothers explained to me that due to the problem with my knee I wasn’t walking properly and this was hindering recovery of my hip. In late January this year Mr Carrothers carried out a partial knee replacement for me, this operation has been a total success, after six weeks I am now walking with no hip pain and only minimal discomfort in the knee, five weeks after the operation I was driving the car and living a normal life. I had my six weeks post op check-up on the 8th March with Mr Carrothers and I couldn’t be happier with the procedures he has carried out and the care and attention he has given me. During these strange times he was always available by phone or zoom to deal with any concerns I might have had. If you need a hip or knee replacement I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Carrothers.

Mr Carrothers is a most knowledgeable, professional and caring surgeon and human being. He performed my hip replacement 4 years ago and due to the great success of this I had no hesitation in going back to him when my knee started causing problems. As so many other patients have said, Mr Carrothers has a most gentle manner, a lovely subtle sense of humour and explains everything from beginning to end in language we non-medics can understand. He really does care about each individual patient and designs the best treatment and care for each and every one. I had a partial knee replacement by robotic-assisted surgery on 11th January which was a decision Mr Carrothers and I came to together having weighed up the pros and cons of partial v full. Seven weeks on I have thrown away the crutches and am walking pain-free and normally for the first time in some years. My scar is hardly noticeable (my hip scar is now non-existent) as in Mr Carrothers own words he 'takes pride in his work' and he really does, from the initial consultation and throughout the whole process. He told me that 'we are on this journey together' and it really does feel that way. Mr Carrothers will always be my first choice for any orthopaedics, so much so that I turned down a discount offered by my private health providers if I allowed them to choose my specialists. No way! I unreservedly recommend Andrew Carrothers.
