Mr James Childs

Written by a private patient at The Beaumont Hospital - part of Circle Health Group

Mr. Childs was professional in all he did for me as well as being polite and friendly. Made me feel comfortable by explaining all to me. He went through everything and answered all my questions and I would highly recommend him. I have no ways of saying how he could improve as I thought he was very good.

Have to thank Mr. Childs and his staff. The consultations were all on time, the op was a great success and everything was explained before.

I saw Mr Childs initially because I’d had a meniscus tear in my right knee. This escalated over a short period of time to severe arthritis requiring a total knee replacement. From the start Mr Childs listened to my account of the pain levels I was experiencing through to the impact the problems with my knee had on my life and general well-being. He never rushed me. He tried various interventions (painkillers, steroid injection, arthroscopy, referral to physio). He showed me the x-ray explaining how bone end was in contact with bone end and how the leg was beginning to bow. He talked me through my options at every turn. As soon as practically possible (COVID19 notwithstanding) he performed total knee replacement surgery. He was encouraging even before I left the hospital. I followed directions. I was committed to getting the best possible benefit from the new knee. I stubbornly did my exercises and walks even when it was extremely painful. At my 6 week check he said I’d made the progress expected at 3-4 months.It’s less painful every day and I feel like he gave me my life back. I enjoy walking with my dog again. He’s accepted my praise and given me credit for my hard work post-op. I’ll be forever grateful.

Very pleasant, took time and did not rush plus told us we could go back to him for 3 months is we had any issues.

This would be very difficult as the care I have received was excellent. I felt listened to and was consulted at all stages.
