SWLEOC was recommended to me by several people. After four NHS cancellations I decided to self refer and see a surgeon privately. That was very easy. I did spend sometime looking at the surgeons on their website. I chose Mr Craik and was not disappointed, aside from the immediate impression of his ability and knowledge I also found him to be very approachable, answering my all questions and concerns. I was a little confused by the fact I was seen as an out patient at Ashstead hospital rather than at Epsom! Ashstead is a very pleasant and comfortable hospital but I chose to have my THR at Epsom having the best of both worlds with the surgeon of my choice in an outstanding Orthopaedic centre. Mr Craik and his secretary, Philippa, bent over backwards to fit me as quickly as possible one Friday evening after the NHS list I was home by 11am the following day! If I had to make a criticism it would be about the receptionist in the waiting area when I arrived at Epsom for my op. She commented that I was very ‘lucky’. When I responded I didn’t think having to have an operation was ‘lucky’ she then announced to the whole waiting area that most people waited years for their operations. I was quite upset by her remarks and commented to my husband that maybe they didn’t like to see patients privately, I did worry as to whether I’d made the right choice. Not a very professional or good first impression. Pleased to say she was the exception, all the nurses, physio and clinicians were extremely professional and very kind. I had no qualms at all. One young man (who didn’t have a name badge) totally unbidden by anyone, wrapped me in warm blankets as I was waiting for my op. then Felix introduced himself offered me his arm, walked me to the operating theatre and what seemed like a minute later I woke up. Six weeks on I’m doing great.

Although it is only 4 weeks since my hip replacement I am so glad I have had it done and when the time comes to have my knee done I will do everything I can to ensure Mr Craik does that too as I cannot fault him or the care I have had at Ashtead Hospital.

On my very first consultation with Mr Craik I was quite apprehensive and did not know what to expect as I had been in a lot of pain for months with my hip. Within a few minutes of meeting him I felt at ease straight away. He explained everything clearly in a friendly professional manner. he went through my options with me. I decided on a complete hip replacement. The surgery went well, his team were amazing. My recovery has been great I am just coming to the end of my physio, all pain-free. I have recommended Mr Craik to my friends. I am now back walking and doing everything I used to. So a big thank you to Mr Craik & his team.

I cannot express my sincere thanks to Mr. Craik for his professional attitude. He is a superb surgeon and made me feel at ease throughout the whole experience of my knee replacements. Cannot thank him enough for making my life so much better without pain.

I don't know quite what to say, it was all so good. The whole process was smooth and very efficient. Mr Craik was warm and welcoming, allaying any nerves or concerns you might have, and meeting Mr Craik, together with his team, you knew you were in safe hands. Post op, was very well looked after by all the nurses, and this might not be the right place, but Patsy was so supportive. So, I can fully recommend to all Mr Craik and his team.
