Had severe arthritis in right hip which required hip replacement. Found Mr Spiegelberg very caring and professional. At the end of my operation he explained what he had done he also took the trouble to come on the ward before going home to see how I was, I can't speak highly enough of this surgeon. I have just seen him prior to being discharged, once again he was very caring. You have asked for constructive suggestions on how my treatment could be improved - from the hospital cleaner, nurses and surgeons at St. Albans hospital I doubt the care could be improved -
THANK YOU

It has been six months since my hip replacement and I can honestly say it was a complete success. The care I have received throughout, be it pre-op or at present is commendable. Every person involved have been genuinely helpful and always professional. Obviously, one goes on a waiting list which can vary in time but the end result is worth all the anticipation.
On the day of my surgery I was introduced to the anaesthetist and then the surgeon, Dr Spiegelberg. He explained to me the entire procedure and gave complete reassurance, the scar left was minimal and smooth. I am now walking without any aid whatsoever and my posture and improved tremendously.
Dr Spiegelberg is a marvellous surgeon and I can never thank him enough for all he has done for me.
I have my life back thanks to him.
Thank you Dr Spiegelberg

After many years of pain in my knees especially during the last few months every step i took hurt not able to take my dog for a walk even going shopping hurt. It was suggested that i had a complete knee replacement at first i was not keen as i had heard that the pain was excruciating but i was in a lot of pain anyway so yes i decided to have it done. six weeks down the line i am on the road to recovery thanks to Mr Ben Spiegelberg before going to surgery Mr Spiegelberg came to see me. his approach was very friendly explaining what time i was in surgery the respect and dignity was first class. He also visited me in recovery to see how i was.Speaking to other patients not many surgeons done that so i felt very privileged to have Mr Spiegelberg as my surgeon.So a big thank you to you and your team looking forward to having my left keen done as well From a very grateful patient

Mr. Spiegelberg welcomed us with a friendly approach. The Consultation session was unhurried and he answered our questions in a frank manner.
As the cost of a full knee operation carried out privately was beyond my ability to meet such a cost, Mr. Spiegelberg suggested a referral made by my G.P. for such an operation to be made and added to the NHS waiting list.
Mr. Spiegelberg showed some understanding of my concern regarding the long delay and continued pain will have to manage.
I appreciated having a copy of the diagnostic information but perhaps it would have been helpful to have it in non-medical terms for a fuller understanding on my part

Response from Mr Ben Spiegelberg
Thank you for your feedback. Please can you check that your GP has referred you to see me on the NHS as currently I have not had a referral letter from your GP.
