I would recommend Mr. Longstaff because he explained what the operation on my knee would entail. He asked if I had any worries or questions to put to him. The operation went really well, I was on my feet the next day. The team at the hospital could not have been better. This was co- ordinated health care at its best. My wound healed up with no bother. To anyone worried about a knee or hip operation I would recommend Mr. Longstaff every time, a brilliant surgeon.

Had a successful knee replacement March 2016. My consultant Mr L M Longstaff was the ultimate professional from the initial consultation, giving advice in regard to the prognosis and answering all my questions and concerns relative to the surgical procedure. His after care team were first class and I was playing golf again after 3 months following a 1 year lay off. Now a year later playing golf 3 times a week again and going for walks 2 times a week.Nothing but the highest praise for Mr Longstaff,not forgetting his well organised follow up team in regard to my total recovery from surgery.

My experience of total hip replacement by Mr Longstaff has been amazing, throughout consultation, the procedure and aftercare. My operation was 12 weeks ago, I was walking without pain on the day after and was home the following day.
The operation was performed under spinal anaesthetic, without any pain, stress or after-effects. I have subsequently walked over 3 miles on several occasions and feel that my hip is completely normal. I describe the "scar" as cosmetic.

I had a painful right knee and saw Mr Longstaff in August 2016. He scheduled Xray and MRI that displayed a torn meniscus. He thought some physio would be prudent before any knee operation. Physio did not improve the knee so arthroscopy was scheduled and the operation was successful. No post-operative issues at all and the pain has gone so I have to thank Mr Longstaff for his skill and advice.
