Suffered with my knees due to an injury /adjustment possibly in yoga and tried to repair both knees myself through gentle muscle strengthening exercises with no progress for one year . As a last resort was the operation and little faith in ever having my knees back in full recovery. Now 3 weeks after my arthroscopy I am delighted my left knee has space within it and I have full range of movements again soooooo happy and very pleasantly surprised. Lol I can’t wait to have my right knee done Thank U extremely Mr Spiegelberg Kind regards Paola Burvill

I am a seventy year old woman who has had severe arthritis for the last 40years and four hip replacements. On 21st April 2018 I fell and broke my femur. I was rushed into Watford General Hospital and was lucky enough to be seen in A&E by Ben Speigelberg. He explained in great detail how complicated the break was and he wanted to wait several days to decide the best way to move forward to give the leg the best chance of a complete recovery. I have several family members who are medics, and he was willing to explain his proposed treatment to my A&E consultant niece. The operation was a complete success. Throughout the process Mr. Speigelberg kept me fully informed about what was happening, listened to my concerns and gave me the best treatment anyone could have. Rosalind Wilkins

I had a total hip replacement on the 11th August. I was really scared about the operation but Mr Ben Spiegelberg really put me at ease. Such a lovely man, very caring and understanding. I had the operation with the Spinal Block anaesthetic which was painless and stress free. Mr Ben Spiegelberg and the anaesthetist Dr. R. Makker made the whole experience painless and I felt really relaxed about the whole experience. Thank you so much Mr Ben Spiegelberg, I would recommend you 100% for your skill and understanding. Thank you again Sandra Bedford
