After suffering severe knee pain, I was referred to Mr Longstaff, who quickly arranged a MRI scan and explained the problem was a severe bucket handle cartilage tear. He discussed my options, and l opted for key hole surgery.
On the morning of the operation Mr Longstaff and his team, were very helpful explaining everything, making me feel less nervous. I had a spinal anaesthetic, was fully awake, but couldn't feel anything at all .
The operation went very well, and l left hospital the following day, and received great follow up care. I would recommend Mr Longstaff and his team 100% . Thank you all.
I had my surgery at NEWCASTLE NUFFIELD.

Following my replacement knee operation in Dec 2016 I can honestly say that my experience from pre op has been great. The operation itself was carried out to plan with information and advise given to me being spot on. I am delighted with my recovery and while sometimes painful doing the exercises it has definitely been worthwhile. Being a keen cyclist I did have my concerns about how flexible and mobile I would be however, after 3 months I am not back to cycling and my fitness in general is great. Dr Longstaff and his team thank you for everything.

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.
