I was under Mr. Longstaff`s care for a left knee arthroscopy on 31st Oct-22. The consultations either side of the procedure were very good and everything was explained and all my questions answered.

After a really badly broken leg on holiday in France, Mr Longstaff operated on my ankle when I was repatriated to the UK
He was extremely caring, he listened to me and he offered excellent advice.
I am so grateful for the care and attention I received from Mr Longstaff and the staff at University Hospital Durham were excellent too.

From first speaking with Mr Longstaff I felt safe and at ease he explained everything to me that I understood the process of how I would be having things done if I asked anything I was answered so I understood I can’t thank him and his team enough for there help and dedication to myself for my total recovery.T W Carr.

Mr Longstaff replaced my knee 6 weeks ago and I could not be more pleased with how things are going. He saw me very quickly when I sought an appointment, the date was set for surgery and everything was done as it was explained to me. He is a great communicator and a warm and caring doctor. He works with excellent operating theatre and inpatient nursing team and the post op physio support has been very supportive. I feel fortunate to have had the benefit off his skilled care.

Mr Longstaff put me at ease throughout my clinic appointments, the operation and post operation. He listened to my concerns and acted appropriately to allay my fears. He was confident during the actual procedure, having had an epidural, which reassured me. He has made himself readily available if I have any issues going forward.
