I asked our physio to refer my daughter to Mr Melton as I was sure that she had a problem with her knee and wanted an expert opinion. Mr Melton immediately diagnosed the issue which was then confirmed via a speedy MRI and X-Ray. Unfortunately she needed surgery to address a tear in her meniscus, release her ITB and relieve a meniscal cyst (the only symptom which had resulted in my initial insistence for the referral to Mr Melton - he recognised the problem instantly). We were booked in for surgery quickly and very well advised and looked after. Mr Melton and the nursing staff were positive, informative and the care before and after surgery was wonderful. I also can't praise Sam, Mr Melton's Practice Manager, highly enough, She is understanding, responsive and kind. After hard work at rehab - which involved support from Mr Melton who quickly answered any questions we had about the finer details of recovery and scar management - my daughter is back to the sport she loves - hockey - and has just earned her 6th international cap playing for her England age group. I'm really grateful for Mr Melton and the fact that he works with children as well as adults. Without him and his team I suspect my daughter would have not have been able to take the brilliant sporting opportunities she has over the last 3 months. If any of the rest of us need our knees looking after in the future I know who we will be going to!
