I have been under the care of Mr Ben Spiegelberg and I had my right knee replacement done in December 2022 at the Bushey Spire Hospital. Mr Spiegelberg and his anaesthetist explained the advantages of having a spinal anesthesia, which I decided to have and recovered quickly from it. I am glad I went down this route. The operation went extremely well and I was seen by him 6 weeks later and discharged. I have had excellent care and support from Ben and his team and I am delighted how the operation went. Ben is very personable and I felt he ensured I had all the information I needed. Thank you to Ben and his team for guiding me through this operation.

I have been under the care of Mr Spiegelberg at St Albans Hospital for the last 3 years. Following initial knee injections it was agreed that a full knee replacement was required.
This followed a patellofemoral joint replacement in 2006. I have always found Mr Spiegelberg very pleasant and puts you at ease. Always explains what is required.
I had full confidence in his skills. I am very pleased with the results of my surgery and would thoroughly recommend using Mr Spiegelberg and his team. The staff at St Albans hospital during my stay were fantastic.

I am now two weeks post op having had a revision of a partial knee replacement. The bearing had been dislocated into my knee. As soon as Ben saw the issue he was confident it could be resolved by replacing the bearing with a new one. The operation was dependent on how the PKR metal work had survived the lack of a bearing for a umber of months. Fortunately when my knee was opened the metal work was good and Ben was able to remove the old bearing and replace with a new piece. Throughout the process I was kept informed of what was going to happen including that there may have been the potential of a TKR. I have the utmost confidence in Ben and his team, he also gave me a TKR in my other knee two years ago, which has been very successful. This revision has meant that my recovery has been very quick compared to a TKR. Ben spoke to post op in theater explaining how well everything had gone and I was seen two weeks later by him so he could be sure everything had progressed well. Ben is very personable and always ensures you get all the information you need.

I have had both knees replaced by Ben and I am very pleased. My right knee was replaced in autumn 2021 and the Robot was used as it was a tricky one, (my femur was broken in many places 40 years ago which complicated matters), the right one made a huge difference as I had been in extreme pain for many years, so much so I hadn't really noticed how painful the left knee was! This was replaced December 20th 2022 and has gone very well.
Both Knees were done at Bushey Spire Hospital but I was an NHS patient both times, everything went well and all the way through I was informed what would happen and when, with mutliple visits By Ben and his team

After my first consultation with Mr. Spiegelberg I felt confident that here was a man who knew what was wrong with me and how to fix it. He spoke clearly, no umming or arring, and when there was something technical to explain he made sure that I understood, especially the procedure and the risks involved. He assured me that once the hip operation was completed the pain I was experiencing in my knee would be gone and that I would soon be walking normally.
On the day of the operation he came to see me and again was calm and confident and had time to share a few jokes with me.
Well I had my operation on the 13thDecember 2022 and I am now walking normally with no pain what so ever. It is is an amazing transformation and it has given me my life back and made an enormous difference to my wife and family.
Mr. Spiegelberg and his team are absolutely amazing and I send my heartfelt thanks and admiration to them all. I would also like to thank all the staff at the Spire Hospital, Bushey, for their care and kindness to both my wife and I, very grateful.
I had my follow up with Mr. Spiegelberg two days ago and again I was treated with respect and kindness. He is a genuine gentleman, who has my thanks, respect. and utmost .
