Reviews
MY pre-operation appointment with Mr Latimer gave me confidence that he would successfully perform my full hip replacement surgery. I had the procedure on Jan 26th and a day later I was able to begin exercising my new hip. I followed all the post-operation guidance and at the follow-up meeting Mr Latimer expressed his delight with my progress. I feel fortunate to have been treated so competently with Mr Latimer.
Thank you for seeing me on 22nd February regarding my upcoming joint replacement surgery. I left you full of confidence and with a positive frame of mind regarding my surgery.
Mr Latimer was very professional . He made me feel confident about my knee replacement operation and I am very pleased with the result.
Mr Latimer was very professional explaining everything in an easy to understand manner. My total hip replacement went as expected. I’m now looking forward to having my other hip replacement in the very near future. Thank you to Mr Latimer and all the staff at Fitzwilliam Hospital.
Mr Latimer was professional and friendly from our first meeting. Easy to talk to plus replies were explained and easy to understand. Total hip replacement was carried out. No problems before during or after surgery. Looking forward to other hip being done in the near future.
