Reviews
Mr Latimer performed a total hip replacement for me in March 2024. Throughout the process - leading up to, during, and after the operation he gave me comprehensive and helpful information, was approachable, made me feel at ease about asking any questions I had, and treated me with friendly respect. The operation was very successful. I experienced some dermatological reactions following surgery and Mr Latimer has been very proactive and helpful in getting this resolved. I'm due to have knee replacements in the (hopefully) near future and feel completely confident in having Mark Latimer as my surgeon for this.
Mr Latimer performed a total hip replacement for me as an NHS patient in March 2024. I felt very confident with him as my surgeon. Throughout the process leading up to, during, and after the operation Mr Latimer always gave me clear and comprehensive information in a person to person, friendly manner. Follow up has been excellent and, following some dermatological reactions following the operation Mr Latimer has been helpful and proactive in resolving this issue. I'm due to have knee replacements in the (hopefully) near future and have complete confidence in having Mr Latimer as my surgeon for these operations. Mr Latimer is very approachable and I have always felt it easy to ask any questions that may arise for me.
This was an initial appointment to discuss my knee replacement. Mr Latimer was very helpful, and following an X-Ray, explained the pros and cons of surgery. He instilled me with confidence and trust and I had no hesitation in agreeing to go ahead with a total knee replacement.
I had knee replacement surgery performed by Mr Latimer in June 2024. From my first consultation I felt at ease with Mr Latimer. He was kind, polite,thoughtful and treated me with respect. He explained everything to me in a way that I understood. I trusted him to do a successful operation and I was right to do so.
It’s down to him that my recovery has been quick and successful.
What a nice, caring man and great doctor.
Thank you
I had a total knee replacement, by Mr Latimer on 13th April
Mr Latimer had explained everything to me, in a manner I understood, very kind , easy to talk to gentleman.I had my operation , with a spinal injection, no sedation, I was aware of what was going on all the time, no problems .and nothing to worry about whatsoever.In fact I worried more about having clips out two weeks later!!!!!,
I live alone,at 81, I looked after myself and cleaned from second week.
Doing light gardening after 4 weeks. keep moving personally I found was the answer ,for me. Walking at 6 weeks without sticks.
I was back driving at 6 weeks after been given the green light from Mr Latimer to do so.
I cannot thank him enough, no more gnawing pain, and I now have two straight legs!!!!
Thank you Sir.
