Our daughter has cerebral palsy. When your child progresses to adulthood they are completely forgotten about and do not have regular reviews with specialists. Our GP put us in touch with Mr Latimer and at last someone was there to help. Mr Latimer totally listens to you and genuinely cares about the patient and the carer. We are very grateful and thankful to him and his colleagues for helping our daughter with her problems. The whole family is now getting a better quality of life.

Mr Mark Latimer has taken excellent care of my son who sustained last September a very bad injury: gartland III supracondylar humeral left elbow. From the surgery in September to the follow-up appointments until last December, Mr Latimer’s professionalism was impeccable and nicely combined with empathy and a pleasant sense of humour. We were very lucky to deal with Mr Latimer for this very tricky injury.

I was referred to Mr Latimer as a private patient as I was suffering with acute left hip pain. From the outset he was extremely friendly, listening to what I had to say before making a careful examination of my hip. He then suggested a steroid injection into my hip, a proposal with which I was entirely happy. He said. and said that he would try to arrange an appointment for that procedure before Christmas but that proved to be impossible. An appointment was fixed for mid-January, which while longer than I would have liked was not unreasonable in view of the Christmas and New Year holidays and was outside Mr Latimer's influence as the procedure is to be carried out by an ultrasound specialist. Based on my experience with the same procure for my right hip, I am optimistic about the outcome.
