I wanted to write this review for the excellent medical service and surgery I have received from Mr Spiegelberg. I landed in his office following several years of progressive hip bone degeneration to the point I had begun walking sideways and with one leg becoming distinctly shorter than the other causing a very much pronounced limp. I finally realised I needed help and just like you, researched it for several hours, days, months. I ‘limped’ into Mr Spiegelberg’s consulting room knowing exactly what I wanted, or did I ! I stated my issues and listened to all the pro’s and con’s that he gently went through with me, taking time to explain in great detail and suggested I go away and assimilate our discussion before progressing. I thought over our discussion, it was a life changing procedure after all, and decided a surgeon that cares this much about his patients would not fail me and went back and agreed to the surgery, total hip replacement. The care and attention I received throughout this process is nothing less than amazing. I did not feel like I was just another patient, I felt like an individual whose mental and physical well-being mattered. The caring and concern did not stop with the operation, it seemed to be as important to Mr Spiegelberg as it was to me that not only was I no longer in pain but my legs were the same length and that I could walk straight without a limp and, just as important, that my expectations were met. As you are reading this, I am sure you can identify with most of it and, having gone through it, my only advice would be to choose your surgeon for all the right reasons, not just for statistics; make sure they have time for you and your personal concerns; it will make a significant difference to the quality and speed of your recovery ! Mr Spiegelberg has now discharged me from his care but I know I will see him again….. I still have another hip !
