Mr Stables who is an amazing surgeon from the start of my knees replacement fully explained the whole journey that I was about to embark on. From when I walked in the Spire and was settled down on day one Mr Stables came to the hospital bed to again explain what the procedure was going to be that morning for my knee replacement. The operation went like clockwork and following recovery room was taken back to my room and settled back down. Mr Stables came again to check how I felt. This was so reassuring. I cannot fully explain what a lovely gentleman and a professional he is, will recommend Mr Stables to anyone.

I recently had the pleasure of being treated by Mr Gareth for my knee issues, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the very first visit, he conducted a thorough examination and thoughtfully provided me with various treatment options, including injections. Mr Gareth was incredibly kind, caring, and patient throughout the entire process. When I missed my first appointment due to unforeseen circumstances, he was completely understanding and accommodating, which I greatly appreciated. At my second appointment, he administered the injection with remarkable efficiency and skill. His efforts to engage me in conversation to alleviate my tension were very thoughtful and effective. Mr Gareth is undoubtedly a smart, patient, clever, and highly experienced consultant. His expertise and compassionate approach have made a significant difference in my treatment experience. I wholeheartedly give him a well-deserved 5 stars!

I found Mr Stables very approachable and he was able to reassure me that a Full knee replacement was needed. He did not however sugar coat the operation or recovery and discussed pros and cons. I was very impressed also with the My Knee system which meant a tailor made mould replica of my knee helped to ensure the precision of the implant being fitted. My operation was straightforward, communication with Mr Stables was very good pre and post op. I found the emails every couple of weeks to check in and make suggestions very helpful. Especially suggestions for a memory foam knee pillow which made side sleeping possible and comfortable. My physio at Spire had a replacement done by another consultant and said to me he wished he had used Gareth Stables as like me he found his patients had a better recovery. I have had my 6 week check up tonight and I couldn’t be happier.. I have got my life back, I am able to walk my dog again and I am on a phased return to work as a private carer. If I had any future orthopaedic issues I would not hesitate to book an appointment with Mr Stables

Mr Gareth Stables was at all times helpful and supportive to my regaining full mobility especially relating to my right knee. The operation was well programmed and went according to plan. Once discharged the most important thing is to carry out regularly all physiotherapy as directed. Following my own experience I would fully recommend the procedure.

Mr Stables was very thorough, approachable and professional. He explained exactly what the problem was and gave his recommendation as to what needed doing. He went through everything that was involved to have my knee replacements done in layman’s terms. Last September I had my first knee done and 7 weeks ago I had my second knee done. It goes without saying what a difference my operations have made and would very highly recommend Mr Stables and his team.

Mr Stables is a very knowledgeable doctor that talked me through all my options, this is the second time in three year's that I have needed treatment, first time on my left knee, and this time on my right knee. On both occasions all has gone well and I put this down to Mr Stables professional expertise.
