I first met Mr Lee Longstaff 7 years ago when he carried out my total hip replacement
operation at the Spire Hospital Washington.
He was very easy to get on with and explained fully how he would do the operation
and advice on my recovery. The operation was a complete success and since then I
have been pain free. During my stay in hospital Mr. Longstaff checked on me and
another patient on the morning after our operations , on his day off. He really showed
that he cared about us and we very much appreciated this.
In January 2017 I had to have a total knee replacement and requested to ask for
Mr Longstaff to do the operation. I had been in horrendous pain from the knee.
When I had my appointment prior to the operation
I asked Mr Longstaff if I would recover enough to be able to make a trip to China in September to visit my grandson who is working there. He said all would be fine by
then and true to his word enjoyed an amazing trip and managed to walk fully mobile
everywhere.
I am able to operate in everyday life and driving as before and have Mr Longstaff
and his fantastic support team for making my life once again pain free.
I can highly recommend this excellent surgeon to everyone.

I needed full hip replacement surgery after doing my homework (reading all the reviews ) on the Surgeons available in the North East I came to the conclusion that Mr Longstaff was the man for the job I was not to be dissappointed My first consultation confirmed what i had read about him he set out in clear practical pragmatic terms what my options were and any risks involved . He was reassuring on the day of the operation putting me fully at ease with what I was about to face He even had time immediately afterwards to confirm how pleased he was with how it went.Particular mention also for the after care of all the staff at the Spire Hospital absolutely superb patient care. I can't speak highly enough of Mr Longstaff what a superb Surgeon he is. I highly recommend anyone in similar circumstances to me to seek his advice.

Many, many thanks to Mr. Longstaff for the 2 new hip joint replacements which I had in August, 2016 and December, 2016.....one as a private patient and the other on the NHS.
Both operations went smoothly and successfully.
One of my nurses referred to Mr. Longstaff as 'The Perfectionist' and I endorse this comment absolutely.
If you are searching for an Orthapaedic Surgeon then look no further.

I would like to highly recommend Mr. Lee Longstaff as a highly talented surgeon.
It was ten years plus since I had a full knee replacement by Mr. Longstaff prior to my knee replacement I could only play 9 holes of golf, without severe pain.
Since my knee replacement, I play golf a minimum of twice a week, without any pain.
I play the full 18 holes.
About 18 months ago I started to play walking football once again without any pain or any problems.
As anyone reading this review will gather I love my sporting activities, without doubt,
Mr. Longstaff and his skill as a knee replacement surgeon have given me back the ability to once again participate in sporting activities to which I love PS I am 74 yrs
