I had suffered for many years from pain in both of my knees. The pain everyday was having a big impact on my daily living and I was not able to enjoy simple activities with my family. Following a referral from my GP I was put in touch with Mr Longstaff at the Nuffield Hospital Newcastle upon Tyne. I can honestly say that even from my initial appointment with Mr Longstaff I knew that I was in the best hands and I left feeling so happy and positive about my treatment plan. From then onwards the level of care I received was second to none. I had my first full knee replacement surgery in January 2020 and my second in November 2020. I was very worried about the impact the surgery wound have on my work commitments (being self employed) however his reassurance and fantastic communication lessoned my concerns and he did everything he could to work with me regarding the timing of my surgery. I am absolutely elated with my two new knees and the scarring is so minimal you wouldn’t notice unless close up. Many family and friends have commented on my speedy recovery from both operations! I’m already enjoying the benefits along with my family as before even going for a short walk was not possible beforehand. I genuinely can’t thank Mr Longstaff enough for the way my life has changed and not only is he a fantastic surgeon, he’s a really caring and kind person. I can’t thank him enough and would recommend him 110%!
