Mr Daud Chou 2023-05-05 Person 5 5 0

Hello, I had seen four or five hip specialists before I saw Daud Chou and I was not sure whether or not to have a hip replacement. I thought to maybe carry on with my arthritic hip for the foreseeable future. I’d got used to handling the pain. I was also fearful of having such a big operation. Within five to ten minutes of talking to Mr Chou I was convinced that I wanted to have a hip replacement and that I wanted him and no one else to carry out the operation. Mr Chou pointed out that should I delay ; my left hip and my lower back would deteriorate as a result of the way I had been walking (with a limp and slightly sideways) …. This was already the case. He listened to my fears and allayed them completely. He also pointed out the risks involved although they were minimal for someone of my build and weight. I felt him to be genuine and forthright in our conversations and also extremely reassuring. He came to give me more reassurance on the day of the operation and visited me afterwards to tell me how it went. I cannot speak highly enough of Mr Chaud. He has an expert and friendly manner and made me feel I was in safe hands. He has a great team around him and they all appear to cooperate at the highest level and all seemed to be on the same page throughout my care; beginning to end at the Nuffield hospital. I’d like to earnestly express my heartfelt thanks for the outstanding care I received from Mr Chou and his team Yours sincerely Simon M Leaver
