I went to see Mr Latimer following a knee issue where it was quickly diagnosed I was suffering from a torn meniscus. Shortly after Mr Latimer was the surgeon to perform a knee arthroscopy on my right knee, on the day of the operation Mr Latimer took time pre and post surgery to pop in and see me which was very kind. Immediately after surgery my knee felt amazing and now 6 weeks post surgery it has given me a new lease of life. I highly recommend Mr Latimer who really is top of his field and I am so grateful to him.

He was super nice and explained the whole procedure in detail to me and my family so we were completely aware of what was going to happen.

My daughter saw Mr Latimer in January 2020. He was very reassuring and put her at ease. He listened to her and helped explained what the potential issue maybe. He was very thorough and persistent and was able to get referred for an MRI very quickly. His follow up was brilliant and again very reassuring and helpful.

I saw Mr Latimer in July 2020 when I had broken my left ankle. Knowing as a type 1 diabetic & with a history of Charcot, that healing would be neither a simple or fast matter for me. Mr Latimer took time a plenty to explain the pros & cons of courses of action that I felt fully informed & he treated me with respect. During all of this he showed kindness & care & everything was delivered firmly but, with humour & compassion
