Mr Henry A Maxwell

Written by a patient at Oaklands Hospital

I have been a patient of Mr Maxwell for a number of years on and off. I have had both knees replaced which Mr. Maxwell did also a couple of other Orthopaedic problems. I could not recommend Mr. Maxwell enough both as a Consultant and exceptionally nice person who both explains the problem in detail and only undertakes surgery where necessary. For anybody looking for an exceptional Consultant Surgeon I would have no hesitation in saying he is absolutely amazing. Mrs Shirley Franks

I was first referred to Dr Maxwell through the NHS in July 2018 after years of trying to be seen by an expert, rather than being told to 'grin and bear it' and wear orthotic insoles, despite me being just 35. I had hereditary bunions that blighted my life and caused me a lot of pain since teenagehood. I could no longer easily find and fit into shoes and was in a lot of pain regularly. Dr Maxwell confirmed they needed to be operated on and that this would improve my situation greatly. He performed a double scarf osteotomy in January 2019 (I requested a delay so I could give my work ample notice). With a healthy diet and following all advice, I barely needed medication afterwards and I recovered very quickly. The casts and bandages were removed and I didn't need crutches after five weeks. I wish the NHS would refer people who have bunions as severely as I had to surgeons immediately. Right now, they put them through years of scrutiny and on long waiting lists to see chiropodists, which is not effective whatsoever for large/well-established bunions. Dr Maxwell was the voice of reason I'd been waiting for for many years. The operations he and his team performed have truly changed my life for the better. Thank you!

After my initial consultation with Mr.Maxwell at Oldham ITC,he said he would have me in for a knee replacement in 6weejks. He was only a couple of weeks out and i had my operation on Sunday 14th April.Mr Maxwell talked me through the procedure and recommended that i have a spinal injection.. Despite my reservation i am glad i opted for it.Two hours later i was back in my room.Later still i was walking with a Zimmer frame.I am now back home 3days after the op, albeit sore i am walking with crutches.Mr Maxwell is a competitive surgeon with an engaging disposition and i would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone having a knee replacement

Mr. Maxwell has been fantastic over the past four years. He first did remedial surgery and has since carried out more surgery. He is a great guy with a fantastic sense of humour and really makes you feel at ease. I would recommend him to anyone and I would not want to go to another surgeon for foot surgery. A big thank you to Mr. Maxwell and his team really appreciate what you are doing for me. Madeleine Burrows
