Having had a total hip replacement on the 12th December 2018, I can thoroughly recommend this Doctor. His bedside manner is perfect, his diagnosis thorough & his surgical skill exemplary. As an 86 year old ex X-ray engineer Mr Spiegelberg tops my list of the best doctors I have met bar none. Thank you very much Sir.

I had a hip replacement at St Albans Hospital 28/11/2018 , Mr Spiegelberg visited me on the ward before the operation and explained what would happen and gave me estimate of what time I would go for surgery, he is very professional, polite and explains everything very clearly , he answers any questions and takes time to explain what to expect.Mr Spiegelberg visited me on the ward after the operation and said he would see me again at the 6 week post op appointment. I have made a good recovery and was off crutches at 3 weeks post op.Mr Spiegelberg is an excellent surgeon the care I received was amazing and I was so grateful to have Mr Spiegelberg as my surgeon. I would throughly recommend him as a great Orthopaedic Surgeon.

I had a hip operation by Mr Spiegelberg and the moment I met him it gave me confidence that previously was lacking, convinced me to have an epidural instead of full anesthetic and during the procedure, I did not feel any pain or discomfort. His team was also very efficient and attentive and I have got very high respect for his work and demeanor and I praise and thank him for giving me back a good quality of life.
