Mr Daud Chou

Written by a NHS patient at Spire Cambridge Lea Hospital

The outcome of my hip replacement has been a great success. After 8 weeks I am now pain free and am able to resume an active life again. I did follow the recommended pre-operative exercise program and the post operative exercise program that may have added to my speedy recovery. I am only left with a faint neat scar. I attribute this success to the skill and care I received from the hip replacement surgery performed by Mr Daud Chou. He listened to my concerns and answered my questions regarding the materials used and having bloodless surgery. I am totally satisfied with the care, skill and professionalism of Mr Daud Chou.

I found Mr. Chou to be a kind and listening person. His understanding of the issues with my hip and my knees was refreshing and put me at ease. At the first consultation all these were discussed fully. It was only 4 weeks from the consultation to the operation. The admission into the Spire and the operation were faultless. The out come exceeded my expectations, i had little pain and was out of bed the following day, the physiotherapist was very happy with my mobility and said i could go home, but i stayed for another day.!! I am sure this is all down the skill of Mr. Chou and his team and the pre. op. preparation. I disgarded my sticks after 2 weeks, driving after 4 weeks, and back in the gym after 6 weeks. It has changed my life, thank you.

I am a biomedical scientist, working at Addenbrookes Hospital, in my early 50s and had needed a hip replacement for some years but it was delayed due to lockdown. From the time I was transferred to Mr Chou's NHS waiting list, to be operated on at the Nuffield (Cambridge), the communication, help and action improved greatly from my earlier experience. All the pre-flight checks were carried out quickly and efficiently and throughout them, the subsequent operation and the aftercare, the Nuffield staff were excellent in both their care and communication - I cannot fault them across the board Senior nurses, through healthcare assistants to porters. Mr Chou, himself, was outstanding. He answered all my questions thoroughly, clearly and with good humor and gave me complete confidence. The operation went very well (textbook I believe), as far as I can tell from the X-rays, wound clinic report and from the rehab - it is now 7 weeks post op and I can walk 3-4 miles with no stick support, do all the exercises prescribed and have already gained back a large degree of mobility, which I have lacked for 7+ years. I can give no better recommendation than that if the other hip needs doing in the future, I will be asking to be put straight onto Mr Chou's list

Great ‘bedside’ manner, approachable and a down to earth - no medical jargon- explanation to all procedures throughout, from the first appointment to the final post operation appointment. Everyone who is treated by Mr Chou is in safe (steady) hands.
