Mr Gibbs listened and was clear with his advice. I had to wait a bit but everything happened as he said it would, with a very good outcome 4 weeks after op. Thank you and Amy

After over a year struggling on a painful leg, Mr Gibbs looked at my MRI and advised partial knee replacement. Lucky to get a cancellation, he was able to operate within a month. Three weeks to the day, I am walking around on the flat without crutches pain free and although I don't yet have full mobility back, I look forward to an active summer ahead. Couldn't have hoped for a better outcome.

I am 51 yrs old, had spent the last four years in the NHS speaking to my rheumatologist, having MRI scans and told nothing was wrong. I had a private SPECT CT scan done and there was the evidence. I went to see Mr Gibbs, straight away he looked at the scan and informed me a total hip replacement was needed. It has been amazing, I now feel like I have my life back again and can sleep again. Thank you so much.

I was quoted 12 to 18 months for a hip replacement on the NHS. I saw Mr. Gibbs on 4th February and had the procedure on 24th and all went well. Mr. Gibbs has a likable approach and is very professional. He listened to my concerns and gave undertandable answers. r Due to his professional approach I had every confidence in him and had no worries regarding the procedure

Mr Gibbs performed a partial medial side knee replacement on me at Nuffield Haywards Heath. I'm delighted with the progress so far; six weeks post-op and happily walking 5-10km/day. Clearly an expert, and very approachable. Happy to deal with all my questions and worries, understanding and supportive of my personal objectives. Absolutely recommended, and I wouldn't hesitate to engage him in the future.

I’m 7 weeks post-op following a revision of my partial knee replacement to a TKR. Mr Gibbs has been superb. He is an excellent, empathetic communicator who explains everything thoroughly without being patronising all with an appropriate sense of humour. Would thoroughly recommend him to anyone contemplating major orthopaedic surgery.
