Referred by my GP to Mr Longstaff after a cartillage tear in my knee. Booked in for surgery. Had an arthroscopy and walked out of hospital after 3 hours. Little post operative pain and on road to full use again. A very positive experience
i would like to say sorry i was sent for a med report which was wrong i blamed lee longstaff but it was my solicitor he had got a report done before the medical evidence was back , lee got back to me and explained ,,
I have recently had a full knee replacement and could not fault Mr Longstaff in any way. Mr Longstaff was easy to talk to and empathetic. Prior to my operation he took the time to explain the procedure fully. He answered any questions I had which put me at ease and removed any anxieties I had regarding the procedure.
Mr longstaff is a very good surgeon I had a hip replacement oct 2015,I felt very much a ease taking to Mr longstaff about my surgery,I had the operation on the Thursday,and was sent home on the Saturday,very good aftercare,five star,well done.
Within four weeks of my first consultation with Mr.Longstaff concerning an arthritic condition of the right hip an operation for replacement was complete and the road to recovery commenced . I have been very impressed with the whole procedure from first
consultation to completed operation and aftercare and could have asked for nothing better.
