Reviews
Mr Latimer was very thorough in his review of my MRI and X-ray results on my right knee which had been causing problems for several months. He talked me through the issues and then made recommendations for recovery which I am now following.
Mr Latimer has proved excellent in taking care of our son and his Osgoods Schlatters disease - he is hugely knowledgable, professional, and proactive with a great manner. Highly recommended, thank you
Mr Latimer treated my son for a broken wrist that had not healed correctly. He put us at ease straight away and was able to repair my sons wrist and has subsequently successfully removed the plate. We cannot thank him enough for his amazing care.
Mr Latimer put me at ease from the start, he is extremely friendly and gave me all the options and answered all of my questions.
We discussed all of my options in depth and this helped with my final decision.
I would recommend him and look forward to seeing him in the future
Mr Latimer was extremely professional at all times. He is able to put you at ease with his warm and caring nature, I felt I could ask any questions and get a clear understandable answer.
I felt safe at all times in his care.
Thank you for such a positive experience and I hope when I need my second knee replacement I will be with his team again.
