I don't know who the previous reviewer saw but I don't believe it could have been Mr Pengas. I am 75, have previously only had experience of doctors who were too busy or didn't care enough to listen, but Mr Pengas was totally different. I had severe arhtritis in both my knees and luckily Mr Pengas was suggested as someone who could help me. From my first visit to him, I found him a sympathetic listener, prepared to take the time to explain everything to me and answer all my questions. He quickly organised new xrays and following the receipt of them, gave me the options available to me. I felt I could trust him totally and I opted to have both knees replaced with the operations being as close together as possible I was in great pain and virtually immobile. He replaced both my knees last October and has done a superb job. Now 6 months on, I have regained my life. I am part of a walking group, riding a bike again, managing to enjoy walking all over our beautiful , but hilly, county. In all my dealings with Mr Pengas both before and after my operations, he has always been kindness itself; showing consideration and given me time to air and worries or concerns. I will always be grateful to him for his skill and the fact that he took the time to explain things and go with my wishes. So different than the doctor whom I first saw regarding my arthritis who told me it was just something I should put up with as I was getting old! I will be eternally grateful to Mr Pengas.
