Mr Latimer took care of my son in January. He is a very professional, kind and caring person. He knows how to talk to children and makes sure they feel safe when he cares for them. He listens to you and explains everything you need to know. He is very patient and communicates clearly. He also checked on my son during his surgery to make sure he is fine! We are grateful for his amazing work!

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.
