Mr Giles Stafford 2019-04-25 Person 5 5 0

I am at risk of repeating the adulation expressed by other reviewers but praise of this sort cannot be repeated too often or too loudly. First, Giles Stafford himself. Of the many adjectives that could be used I’d particularly mention his professionalism, patience, attentiveness to my needs, friendliness, thoroughness and, not least, his aversion to surgery unless appropriate. The protocol and systems he has put in place are seamless and carried me effortlessly from pre-surgery briefing, though post-surgery care and rehabilitation. Like other reviewers I can only marvel at the process which has been pain free as well as hassle free throughout. I too was utterly thrilled to be on my feet within hours of surgery, crutch free within days and driving after two weeks – and, as I have said, pain free throughout. This review would not be complete without mentioning some of his support team – in particular Caroline, who is probably the best medical secretary I have ever met, and Sean who was so reassuring before surgery and a constant presence in the ward during and after surgery. If you have hip issues, I cannot imagine there is a better person to see than Giles Stafford.
