The outcome of my second hip replacement undertaken by Mr Mundy has been most disappointing. I am in more discomfort now than I was prior to surgery 18 months ago. I knew there was something not right directly after the surgery when the physio got me up to start moving. There was no give in the newly operated hip at all. I had my other hip replacement to compare this to so I knew. I returned to see Mr Mundy a few times to try and convince him of my pain and lack of movement. He came across as very disinterested and suggested that I up my mobility without asking what exercises/physio I was endeavouring to do at that time. At not one point during any of these visits did he examine my hip or range of movement. I had to ask him to check my leg length. He stared at his screen and told me nothing was wrong. At one appointment he didn't know who I was even though my file sat in front of him. I know we're just mere patients with little or no knowledge but I know my body and knew and still know that there is an issue which may or may not have happened during surgery. Mr Mundy then referred me to a spine consultant at the same hospital as he thought it might be a lumbar issue. At that appointment, the spine consultant asked me to put my weight on one leg and then the other, tested my reflexes and prescribed a medication that he said may or may not work! £250.00 out of pocket as my insurer would not cover spine consultations. The spine consultant then suggested an appointment with a neurologist and nerve conduction testing (another £1000.00 in total) - all profit for the hospital I suppose. I decided to decline this. I just felt I was being passed around to keep me quiet.
The hospital were very quick book me in for both surgeries, which I appreciated but I don't feel that they are interested in post surgery issues. I do hope I am the only one to have experienced or will experience this. I have decided to seek an independent second opinion as have not been invited back to Three Shires for any kind of yearly review. Will certainly not ever be utilising the services of Three Shires Hospital again.

I cannot praise Mr Mundy enough for all the care he has given me over the last four and a half years. I had a hip replacement - by another surgeon that went horribly wrong. Mr Mundy has worked tirelessly on me/with me over the years - multiple revisions, washouts, hip removed, infections, long stays in hospital. I trust him implicitly. His kindness to me and my daughter cannot he rivalled. I could write a book but really I’d be here for ages. He has been totally professional honest and so very caring throughout. He is an amazing guy and amazing, caring surgeon, an expert in his field. He has supported me with care and kindness and positivity throughout the most testing time in my life. If you are lucky enough to have him as your surgeon I would say you couldn’t have someone better - he goes over and above. He is just an amazing surgeon and man. I’ll be eternally grateful to him. Thank you Gary.

Thank you just doesn't seem enough when it comes to saying how much Mr Mundy has changed my life.
From the very 1st moment I met he was incredibly kind and caring, full of compassion and empathy. I never once felt uneasy which is a huge compliment given my past. I have always felt respected and he didn't shy away when I asked to be kept updated during my operation including showing me the damaged parts of my knee. This massively helped to keep me calm, feel in control and I strongly believe its aided my recovery.
Well what I can I say about my recovery, the instant the spinal wore off the awful deliberating pain was gone! Instead I only had what can be described as a lovely post op pain!
Within a few days I was no longer taking any pain relief for my right knee, I've previously being taking painkillers around the clock! The pain was so bad I was awake 3 to 4 times a night, I was on the verge of stopping work even though I love my work.
The pain and painkillers clouded my head to a point of being so tired I had so little energy, I didn't have any concentration so was unable to watch a film. I was unable to be on my feet and on occasions couldn't stand in church for the hymns whereas 12 days post op I was on my feet for 4 hours at a Jubilee fete and I had no pain in my right knee!
Mr Mundy has given my children their mother back and my husband his wife, this operation and his skills have completely transformed my life and as I said at the start thank up really isn't enough for what he has done.
Thank you once again for all your expertise, kindness and compassion.

I found Mr Mundy very professional and approachable. He explained the procedure to me clearly. Upon discharge he showed me exactly what he had done and I do not think his care could be bettered.
