On Friday, 28 February 2020, Mr Marcus Cope provided me with a new left hip – a total hip replacement. I was walking by Sunday and climbing stairs and discharged on Monday. To say that the operation was transformational is not an exaggeration. It truly was life changing. Before the operation I had constant hip pain when doing just about everything. From sitting to standing and the ‘getting up’ bit in between; walking, riding my bike, all of the things I enjoyed were blighted by the pain. And I limped! I couldn’t walk without limping. Post operation there was some swelling which, with care, reduced and disappeared over time. But from day one I was able to walk pain free. My other pain eased and when I was finally allowed on my bike that was pain free too. I have to say that I had been doing muscle strengthening exercises with my own Physiotherapist prior to my operation and have continued these and other exercises provided by the Renacres Hall Hospital Physiotherapy team EVERY day since my operation 12 months ago. This has aided my recovery. I am able to do all of the things that were denied me prior to the operation because of pain. Walking (8-10,000 steps a day), cycling and just generally returning to a full life at 76 years old. I am so grateful to Mr Cope and his team at Renacres Hall Hospital for my new lease of life. Thankyou.

From the very first appointment Mr Cope listened and immediately understood my problem and quickly reassured me that it could be resolved through a surgical procedure. I underwent a partial knee operation. This was carried out expertly by Mr Cope resulting in a superb outcome 5 weeks after surgery walking without aid, ! I cannot thank him enough from start to finish amazing! And highly recommended Mr Cope thank you.

Having had knee surgery 6 years ago (in Ireland), I was not looking forward to this operation. My last knee operation left me in considerable pain for over 5 months, I was using a walking aid for nearly 5 months. Mr Cope listened to my concerns, he fully explained my procedure and assured me that this would be a totally different experience. I felt I could fully trust him, and I felt comfortable about his expectations of how the surgery would go. My knee replacement operation was carried out on the 4 Jan 2021, when I woke up after surgery I was amazed how little pain I was feeling. This was down to Mr Cope explaining the different anaesthetics available, which helped me chose the epidural method. After 4 days there still was discomfort and pain but nothing like intense pain I had experienced before. After 4 weeks I was able to reduce to one crutch, after 5 weeks I was able to go up and down the stairs un-aided , by 6 weeks I was using a walking stick when I went for a walk. It has now been 7 weeks very little pain, still swelling which I had expected. Moving round the house without any walking aids, and walking to the local shops as well. I have followed Mr Copes advice to the letter, I can honestly say that he is a great surgeon, he reminds me of the type of great surgeons we used to have in the military. I would say anyone who is requiring the type of surgery I had, would be extremely lucky to have Mr Cope as their surgeon.

Mr Cope has been my consultant over the past two years during which time he has replaced two hips and a knee joint, I have always found him to be very pleasant with a subtle sense of humour, his professionalism and quality and care is beyond doubt, the whole team at renacres are first class and ensure that everything is relaxed which gives you full confidence. No more pain which is heaven, if you require a consultant for joint replacement Mr Cope is your man.
