I have had both knees replaced by Ben and I am very pleased. My right knee was replaced in autumn 2021 and the Robot was used as it was a tricky one, (my femur was broken in many places 40 years ago which complicated matters), the right one made a huge difference as I had been in extreme pain for many years, so much so I hadn't really noticed how painful the left knee was! This was replaced December 20th 2022 and has gone very well.
Both Knees were done at Bushey Spire Hospital but I was an NHS patient both times, everything went well and all the way through I was informed what would happen and when, with mutliple visits By Ben and his team

After my first consultation with Mr. Spiegelberg I felt confident that here was a man who knew what was wrong with me and how to fix it. He spoke clearly, no umming or arring, and when there was something technical to explain he made sure that I understood, especially the procedure and the risks involved. He assured me that once the hip operation was completed the pain I was experiencing in my knee would be gone and that I would soon be walking normally.
On the day of the operation he came to see me and again was calm and confident and had time to share a few jokes with me.
Well I had my operation on the 13thDecember 2022 and I am now walking normally with no pain what so ever. It is is an amazing transformation and it has given me my life back and made an enormous difference to my wife and family.
Mr. Spiegelberg and his team are absolutely amazing and I send my heartfelt thanks and admiration to them all. I would also like to thank all the staff at the Spire Hospital, Bushey, for their care and kindness to both my wife and I, very grateful.
I had my follow up with Mr. Spiegelberg two days ago and again I was treated with respect and kindness. He is a genuine gentleman, who has my thanks, respect. and utmost .

Mr Ben Spiegelberg is an exceptional surgeon. I was very fortunate to be referred
to him. He is very approachable, caring, friendly and exceedingly helpful.
Mr Spiegelberg inspires confidence and his professional skills are second to none.
I have implicit trust in him.
I had my complete hip replacement in November 2022. The operation was a success
and I experienced no pain. After 5 weeks I am fully mobile and walking without crutches.
I am now on the list for knee replacement surgery, and I am delighted that this will
also be carried out by Mr Spiegelberg.
I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs hip or knee replacement.
Thank you Mr Spiegelberg and your team for your wonderful care.

Mr Spiegelberg operated on the 4th October 2022 having reviewed my situation. I found him very kind and helpful who understood my concerns over the surgery. Everything has gone very well and I am now well on the way to a full recovery.

Mr Spiegelberg first saw me a year prior to my NHS hip replacement operation.
He immediately inspired confidence in me with his direct and professional manner.
He was most apologetic that I would have a wait of at least a year but would be placed on his list.
Having had my hip replacement on 3rd October 2022 at St Albans NHS Hospital I am pleased to say that the whole experience was exceptional. The morning of my operation Mr Spiegelberg came to see me and explained the ramifications of the operation. I was most impressed that he took the time to come up to the ward to see me when he obviously had a very busy day ahead of him in the operating theatre. His manner was so reassuring as I was very nervous and apprehensive.
I met with Mr Spiegelberg and his registrar on 18th November 2022 for the six week check up. Despite my seeing his Registrar initially, Mr Spiegelberg took the trouble to pop in to ask how I was progressing. I am pleased to say I am progressing well and now walking unaided with far less pain.
I wholeheartedly recommend and thank Mr Spiegelberg for his kindness and expertise. He has given me a new lease of life.
