Mr James A S Young 2020-05-01 Person 5 5 0

As a then 85-yr-old male (2019)seeking a second partial knee replacement, but with moderate aortic stenosis, there were problems finding me a slot in a hospital with intensive care; however James (and his secretary) pulled out all the stops and eventually he succeeded in getting me into Pembury. Op total success; back home following day, with 90degree flexion prior to leaving ward. Follow-up physio at Pembury, and was deemed so effective that staff used me as best example for others (some younger)!! And gave me extra free session for good behaviour. Subsequently some four months later climbed foothills of Mount Arenal w/o problems, and returned to golf _ although due to current lockdown _ and threatened longer-term criminal incarceration of fit over 70s _ have lost general fitness and condition. Recently _ mid-March 2020 _ returned from Florida having played 18-hole rounds of golf. Cannot fault conduct of op and follow-up; highly commend James for professonal expertise, sense of caring _ and humour.
