When I met Mr Spielgelburg for the first time I immediately felt at ease. He explained clearly in a professional & friendly manner just what would happen during the total knee replacement surgery, what the replacement joint was like, its track record, the importance of exercising & the follow up. He answered my questions & I felt very confident & reassured after the appointment.
On the day of the operation he was reassuring when he came to the ward before the surgery & I felt confident in him as a surgeon.

Dr Spiegelberg is a lovely surgeon, I first met him at Watford Hospital and he agreed to do my hip replacement, I am aged 75, and I was over the moon that I was able to be treated by him. The operation was at St.Albans hospital at the beginning of November this year. I was in for three days then discharged. I had home visits from a physiotherapist who was of great help, I visited my Doctors Surgery to have the wound dressing changed but she said it was not needed as the wound had healed so well, excellent stitching at the operation was her comment !! I recovered well after doing all the exercises I was given, and went back to see Mr Spiegelberg on 7th Dec, he examined me and said I was doing very well and he signed me off. I cannot praise him enough for his care and his politeness .He is a wonderful surgeon and person. I cannot thank him enough. He changed my life.

Mr Spiegelberg was a very kind and helpful doctor who listened to my concerns. He replaced both of my knees and has been very good throughout my recovery. I would highly recommend him for his knowledge and friendly bedside manner.

I cannot sing the praises of this charming, humorous and very modest Gentleman enough, he has quite literally given me my life back and more. When I first met Mr Spiegelberg I was almost at the point of total collapse, I was in desperate need of a total hip replacement, every aspect of my life was filled with pain, I could barely walk, and to sleep I had to use a reclining chair, crucially my career in the Transport industry was suffering and at the point of ending. I honestly thought I would have to retire early on medical grounds and claim benefits, some thing I reallydid not want to do. To say I was both desperate and very depressed would be an understatement.
During my initial consultation every aspect of my concerns were discussed, the operation and procedures and all scenarios and possible outcomes were outlined to me in great detail, each and every one of my questions were answered and for the first time in a long time I felt my burden was beginning to lift.
On the day of the operation, I met Mr Spiegelberg and his team in St Albans Hospital, his gentle humour and confidence soon put me at my ease, after an epidural I was taken into the theatre, where once again the operation was explained and in no time at all, I was back on the ward where I awoke from the procedure with a minimum of discomfort, sporting a very neat surgical wound to my upper thigh and buttock.
Two days after the operation I left the Hospital on crutches, within four weeks, I had returned to work on light duties. I now sleep in a bed, I can dress myself and put on my socks and shoes unaided, I have even returned to driving LGV vehicles, some thing I didn't think I would be able to do again. I now have my life back and don't intend to retire for another fifteen years, all thanks to this very modest, yet highly skilled surgeon to whom I owe a great deal of gratitude.
To anyone who is need of orthopaedic surgery, I would always recommend they seek out the services of Mr Spiegelberg I consider myself extremely fortunate to have been treated by him, some thing I suspect all of his patients do.
Some how just saying 'Thank you' isn't enough.
