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.

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.

After limited movement in my right leg and a very painful hip, Mr. Longstaff suggested that I needed a hip replacement. He listened very carefully to my concerns for the most suitable type of hip. I have always enjoyed a very active lifestyle of riding, walking, swimming, pilates, and I work full time as a foundation stage teacher. Mr Longstaff explained carefully his recommendation for the replacement hip. I had complete confidence in his expertise and professional opinion. He is an excellent surgeon and is supported by a fantastic team at Bishop Auckland Hospital. Every member of staff was conscientious and enthusiastic helping everyone to achieve independence in a supportive, and caring environment. I have had two follow up consultation sessions where Mr. Longstaff, he listened carefully to my questions and answered them fully.
I have just completed an 8 mile walk, cycled with my grandchildren on holiday and enjoy swimming with my friends. Tomorrow I am back at school. Life is good!
Thank you so much, you have given me my life back!
I can highly recommend Mr Longstaff, he is a very skilled surgeon but also a really caring person.

After suffering osteo-arthritis in both knees through wear and tear, ( I am 78years old and played most sports until my late 50`s ) I decided to take the plunge and seek help to see if knee replacement would cure the problem) Fortunately for me I was referred to Mr Lee Longstaff at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Gateshead. From the first consultation Mr Longstaff he explained the procedures and gave me great confidence to have my first total knee replacement in Jan 2015. The operation was a total success and I had the other knee replacement op in Nov 2015. This op too was totally successful and cannot thank Mr Longstaff and his team and the QE Hospital for the care and attention I received. I am now reaping the rewards of being able to walk pain free and would have no hesitation in recommending Mr Longstaff to carry out any procedures. With grateful thanks, Peter Swaddle
