had consultation with mr bloch regarding total hip replacement. he explained how the operation would go what were the pro's and con's how long the replacement hip would likely last and what after care i would receive. up and about after 2 days after op hardly any pain just a little discomfort. in my experience i cannot see what could have been done better.
very communicative and honest - good bedside manner and sets you at ease ahead of the procedure.
From my initial assessment by Mr Bloch he explained to me what the problem was with my knee in terms that I understood. He visited in my room prior to the operation and explained the procedure.
He visited me again some hours after the operation to ask me how I was and to confirm that the operation was a success.
I had two further follow up appointments with Mr Bloch one to check the wound and how I was getting on with my exercises. Then a final checkup where he signed me off
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mr Bloch
Mr Benjamin Block is a fantastic consultant and surgeon. I had an operation on my cartilage which was very successful and also pain free. I found Mr Block to have good people skills and will give you all the information you require, good and bad so you can make an informed decision.
A brilliant surgeon kind caring and professional
