I would whole heartedly recommend Mr James Young for his kindness, professionalism and amazing talent. He talked me through all aspects of my treatment, both clearly and thoroughly answering all my questions. The surgery on my knee has changed my life from heading towards a wheelchair, to being able to walk unaided and with ease. I would also recommend having the Robotic procedure as the knee is precisely positioned in line making the healing process better and in many cases quicker. Kims hospital did an excellent job and I would like to thank all the staff including the physical therapy department,for making my stay pain and stress free, especially mentioning James (I don’t know his surname) my anaesthetist who kept me entertained during my surgery. May I say a big thank you to Tess for all her help both before and after my hospital stay. I feel like a new woman now!

I chose Mr James Young for my surgery very carefully. The reviews here almost understate how excellent James is. From the word go, he listened to me. He understood my athletic background and need to be able to keep active. A priority for me was to get back to ballroom dancing, which my wife and I love. He carefully considered and discussed with me, the options (or lack of them!). He didn't treat me as an idiot and took time to explain what was happening to my knee and how the repair would work. His manner towards me, as his patient, was exceptional. I just had total trust in his ability as a surgeon and in his proposed solution. My trust in James was not misplaced. My surgery, which was a partial knee relacement, went extremely well. I was in and out of hospital in a day. The wound is amazing. The staples were put in so well that the scar is really small. Each recovery is different and I have pushed mine quite hard. Both James and the team of physiotherapists at KIMS have been so supportive. They have managed my fears and anxieties about doing damage to their good work and guided me beautifully in my rehabilitation. I am now at week 13 post op and started back pilates, dancing, golf and can manage a full day's hard gardening! I still have a very long way to go to get back to full strength but is is great to know this team are in the background should I need them again. Whilst the whole team at KIMS are superb, a special mention to Tess and her marvellous administrative support to James.

Many thanks to Mr Young for his brilliant team to help me through my surgery due to my torn meniscus. He made me feel very comfortable throughout the whole procedure, and answered any questions I had before, during and after the operation. I would highly recommend Mr Young to anyone due to the overall experience but also his professional expertise explaining the situation to me. I would also like to thank Tess (Mr Young’s PA) for organising the whole procedure from beginning to end, everything was arranged within a week from seeing Mr Young to actually having the procedure and scheduling appointments up until full recovery which I am now well and truly on the road to.

Just brilliant. James provided sound, sensible and practical advice all through the process, great communication and super aftercare. Excellent team at Tunbridge Wells looked after me before, during and after my knee operation and Tess was a fantastic organiser and communicator from the day the process started. Cannot recommend James and his team enough - all five star!!!
