I am now 8 weeks post op after having a full knee replacement. For years I had been suffering from severe pain in my right knee which was effecting my mobility making every day tasks extremely difficult. After my first consultation with Dr Spiegelberg he was confident that a full knee replacement would treat the issue and I was booked in for the op at Bushey Spire. From that day up until my op date his team kept me well informed at every stage and answered any questions I had regarding the procedure. I was extremely pleased with how the surgery went and the care and attention at the hospital meant my recovery was quicker than expected. A huge thank you to Dr Spiegelberg and his team for their care and support throughout my time with them.

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.
