My Mum was under the care of Mr Latimer when he completed a total knee replacement on her last year. Although I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting Mr Latimer myself, my Mum cannot speak highly enough about him. He is always kind, explains everything with patience, and understanding. Not only that he is always cheerful and has a smile on his face. He is a surgeon that patients can readily relate to - I have heard nothing but positive comments about him.
Thank you

I was fortunate enough to be referred to Mark regarding an issue with my hip. He quickly got me referred for X-rays/scans and when it transpired the problem was more complex (rare) than originally thought he quickly got me re-referred to a consultant with experience of my condition. Mark was always reassuring and prompt in his responses. He has a great sense of humour too! I would wholeheartedly recommend him.

I received surgery from Mark after I fractured my patella on my left knee from cycling incident. From the pre-operation induction, to surgery and to aftercare, Mark was excellent. When he first examined me, his manner and explanation of the operation reassured me that I was in safe hands. I obliviously did not see the surgery, but I felt comfortable from the point I came around, post of consultation and ever since.
Mark's persona has definitely an upbeat "I can fix this" dynamic, which immediately lifted my spirit. Just the sort of person you want to meet in a hospital.
Many thanks for your work Mark
