I have known Mr Lewis for some years and believe that he is technically the bedt knee surgeon in West Sussex. Mr Lewis is always striving hatf to obtain better results for his patients, by providing less invasive surgery. I have had a recent new tried and tested PFC knee replacement and l sm confident that the new knee feels very strong and after one week l am stick free indoors and in my garden. There are no stitches to remove and l hope to be in the local swimming pool strengthening my leg in a couple of weeks

My selection of surgeon was led by; - a general trawl of the internet and comparisons of outcomes for hospitals and their senior consultants experience in knee surgery, - geographical accessibility in the UK south-east , - accessibility of Mr. Lewis himself and/or through his personal secretary and the sense of approachability and lack of medical jargon in this access. - a distinct understanding from Mr. Lewis that my physical and mental medium and long term objectives for my right knee (to be able to run again for example) were also his. The milestones in recover from the operation (in terms of joint mobility such as when I could expect to driving safely and what pain might be associate with the recovery were acceptable to me, indeed I thought a little optimistic at first. On the contrary, I was able to safely walk without any artificial aid, frame or stick within 3 days of the surgery and within 3 weeks of it I was able to walk up and down stairs normally albeit with aid of the handrail. since my operation only some 3.5 weeks ago, the actual early recovery signs are that

Mr Lewis has now completed my second replacement knee operation. My first was on the NHS back in 2007/8 and went so well that I specifically asked for him to do the second knee this May 2021. I am recovering well and I expect to be far more mobile in a few weeks time. And excellent surgeon with a very pleasant manner whom I would recommend to anyone.

I had my knee replacement on 7/4/2021. After a long wait caused by the lock down due to Corona virus I could not be more reassured by Mr James Lewis that it would be safe to go ahead. No more pain in my knee . He had to remove the partial knee replacement I had for the last 12 years. No limping and recovery was amazing. On my feet the following day and no complications. He is a very good communicator and he believes and encourages the patient to go into the operation with a positive attitude of mind. I am grateful that I was referred to him by my GP. Thank you again.
