Reviews
I am now 6 weeks post op having had a TKR done robotically by Mr Gibbs.
From the first consultation he was welcoming informative and put me at ease. He answered all my questions no matter how trivial with patience and good humour.
Having had my 6 week follow up appointment Mr Gibbs was very positive about my rapid progress. My knee is healing very well thanks to his expertise and to the input from the excellent physio staff (Felicity). All in all the standard of care and professionalism I received from Mr Gibbs and all other Nuffield staff has been exceptional.
I am coming up to six weeks post surgery after having my hip replacement carried out by Mr Gibbs.
I cannot believe how well I am doing and how good my new hip feels already! It's incredible to now be pain free from the relentless, chronic pain I suffered before Mr Gibbs performed his surgery on me. I feel so, so lucky and grateful to have been referred to this consultant. He was great from the first time of meeting him, a real professional with a wonderful, reassuring, yet down to earth approach. I felt completely at ease and was able to ask whatever I wanted without feeling rushed. By the end of my first consultation with him I was raring to go and have the operation and get back to living a quality life again! I never dreamed I would be going back to the Lake District to visit and do my favourite walks but I am already planning my return for next year and that is so exciting!!!
The number of five star ratings and shining testimonials for James Gibbs speak for themselves. He was friendly and made everything completely transparent from the outset of my right hip replacement surgery. The few concerns I had, he answered clearly, comprehensively and made sure that I understood. I am pain free and fully mobile now having recovered far quicker than I anticipated. I would have no hesitation whatsoever recommending James to anyone who is considering having the same surgery.
First Class surgery.
I would recommend him on hip replacement which I had to anyone.
Can answer all questions about surgery and recovery very helpful.
Exceptional service from consultation right through to post operative care. Would thoroughly recommend Mr Gibbs.
