What an Amazingly awesome gentleman! Mark, thank you for taking time to make my little Poppy feel comfortable. You listened to me and answered all my questions without making me feel like a neurotic mother hen. Unfortunately 3 days after we saw you at clinic Poppy fell in the kitchen and has broken her elbow and opened up her previous radius and ulna fractures. Hope we get to see you soon !

Mark is a fantastic surgeon and his appointments with my daughter are always a pleasure due to his happy, positive and caring nature. A fantastic surgeon with a fantastic attitude! We drive 6 hours to see him and I wouldn’t recommend any one else!

Mark recently done 8 plate surgery on my 17 year old son for severe " knocked knees". My son has severe learning difficulties, autistic spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy and is severely sight impaired so I was dreading this surgery. We had 3 meetings with Mark who was very understanding and listened to our concerns, we were able to plan everything from start to finish in a way that suited my son's special needs. I can honestly say ive never met a more compassionate doctor and cannot thank him enough for his kindness, excellent surgery and aftercare.

Mr Latimer was very easy to talk to and I felt very at ease with him. He was very caring and I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone needing a hip replacement. Sue Martin
