After years of knee pain, xrays, physiotherapy and injections, I was put on the NHS waiting list. I couldn’t walk without a walking stick. I would ring the doctor, all she said was keep taking the pain tablets. I felt Ill and so fed up. I decided to ring the Nuffield Hospital in Chichester, my choice of surgeon was Mr Laurence Dodd. He told me the diagnosis was a total knee replacement. He was so understanding. I had the operation and the first month it was extremely painful but as the weeks went by it improved. Now I am delighted that I had the surgery and would recommend Mr Laurence Dodd to anyone who needs a knee replacement. He is such a caring surgeon and gentleman and I am walking without a stick!
Mr Dodd is a consummate professional, taking the patient through a seamless journey from the first meeting in clinic, through surgery and on to post-operative care. Reassuring, kind and immensely knowledgable of his craft, I have no hesitation in recommending him. You will not be in safer hands. I have my life back, pain free and mobile, to enjoy the great outdoors. Three cheers for Mr Dodd ......
I found Mr Dodds to be approachable, professional, informative and confident at all times I met with him both pre and post operatively. I felt reassured and well informed with regards to both the surgical procedures that I required and the reasons for the need for them to be carried out. He explained every step and in a way that was clear and understandable, giving time for any questions or clarification.
All have all led to a positive and good outcome.
In my opinion Mr Dodd is everything a medical professional should aspire to be. At my initial consultation any nerves were reassured by his caring and compassionate approach. Pre and post surgery all procedures were fully explained to me.I have complete trust and confidence in this surgeon, I now have a far better quality of life thanks to him. The team he has around also live up to his excellent standards.
A highly recommended knee surgeon in every respect! I first met Laurie Dodd 4 years ago with my son who had very successful knee surgery which enabled him to resume his active life and love of sports, competing at a high level. When I was referred to see Mr Dodd myself for a knee injury sustained this year, I knew I was in safe hands. He was equally caring and professional, listened attentively and answered all questions patiently. Whilst I chose to focus on a rehab programme, rather than have surgery, I valued enormously the reassurance from Mr Dodd that the option to consider surgery would still be open to me in my follow up appointment, or if ever I had future knee problems. I am delighted that I now have the confidence to pursue activities without worrying about my knee. Thank you!
