I had my first ankle replacement by Dr Vee 6years ago which was a success, had my other ankle replaced 12 weeks ago, this one seems to be going better than the first one couldn't have had better treatment. Thank You Dr Vee

Mr V is an excellent doctor. I cannot recommend highly enough his care, concern and consideration for his patient. I have seen him on several occasions and his follow up of other practitioners, to whom he referred me, have been exceptional in putting me at ease. His way of explaining in laymans terms and his kind manner is why I returned to see him. I cannot think of anything he could do to improve the care he provides Thank you Sir.

Felt completely safe and confident in Mr V's hands. He explained thoroughly the causes behind my condition, the treatment options and what the chosen procedure (ankle fusion) would entail. Post operation aftercare was also very good. Would recommend anybody with arthritis or other ankle problems should talk to him.
