I have had both knees replaced by Mr Longstaff at UHND and would have no hesitation in recommending him as an orthopaedic surgeon. My left knee was first and was fairly straightforward. I have had no pain in that knee since. My right knee was not so straightforward as following that operation I continued to have pain.Over the following months Mr Longstaff tried a variety of things to try and resolve the problem and eventually decided to resurface my kneecap. Brilliant - have had absolutely no pain since.
I was awake for all three operations and can recommend this also.
Mr Longstaff is a really caring person and puts you at ease regarding your operation. He listens to what you have to say and has a jovial manner about him which makes him very easy to talk to.

I recently had replacement hip surgery done by Mr Lee Longstaff and I have nothing but praise for the procedure. Mr Longstaff had the most reassuring manner before, during and after the surgery. He explained in great detail what the procedure would entail and the recuperation requirements following the surgery. Six weeks after the surgery I am walking normally and have no pain.
I would recommend Mr Longstaff unconditionally.

From the first consultation Dr Longstsaff put me at at ease, he carried out a detailed examination of my hip, he then went on to explain what he intended doing and then gave me a chance to ask any questions. Nothing was too much trouble. Within 3 months of the first visit i had my operation which was carried out by Dr Longstaff.
I received first class treatment during my 3 day stay, and for the next 4 months received
excellent care from all the departments at the hospital. All in all i have no complaints about my treatment and after care, i would recommend both the hospital and the Doctor

I would describe Mr Longstaff as professional, efficient and a direct communicator. I understood the process and issues as we moved from diagnosis to surgery. After my full hip replacement I was walking the next day with support from my physio and now 8 weeks on I am moving well and gaining strength every day with none of the previous pain. The scar is neat and has healed well. Overall I am very pleased with the result and glad to have my new hip.

From the moment I was referred to Mr.Longstaff until I had a final appointment last week, I have had the utmost respect and confidence in him and his team while undergoing my total knee replacement and continuing physiotherapy in the hospital.
This has been fully justified in a compete recovery to the extent that less than 9 months down the line I have returned to playing some cricket.
A big thank you to all concerned.
