I had a tear of my acl from a football injury and was referred to dr Longstaff. In the consultation he listening to what my symptoms were and assess me following the MRI scan.
I was given the option of key hole surgery or Physio but this wasn't the first time so I opted for the surgery. I was fully informed of what was happening at all times
On the day of the surgery mr Longstaff went through everything again and proceeded with the operation. The operation was a success and I was up with weigth in it the same day. Once the dressing was off there were 3 small puncture wounds that has stitches in. They are not visible now, 3 months later.
If I had any further problems I would definitely opt for mr Longstaff
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.
