Mr Nirav Shah is a very experienced and highly respected Consultant Hip and Knee Surgeon and had already performed successful operations on a member of my family. In May 2021 I contacted Goring Hall Hospital and spoke with Rhondda who is Mr Shah's Secretary. She arranged an X-ray and appointment for 25th May. My hip pain had suddenly worsened and, showing me the X-ray, Mr Shah said "there is only one decision to make - to do it or not!" I am so thankful I chose to go ahead. An appointment was made for 2nd July subject to medical clearance by Dr Pegge, perhaps associated with my age at 86. With two days notice, Rhondda amazingly arranged for a hospital heart 'echo' to enable the total hip op to proceed with the skilled support of the anaesthetist on the appointed day. The subsequent three days in Goring Hall were faultless examples of care, re-assurance and attention which included two ward visits from Mr Shah, and subsequently the Physiotherapist was very helpful in guiding and planning my mobility. Four weeks after the op. I was walking up to two miles with one stick. Six weeks after the op. I met with Mr Shah for a successful review of progress and a reminder of the importance of continuing the exercises . To express my gratitude to Mr Shah and everyone involved is a very big understatement. I am so grateful to him, his team, and the care of Goring Hall Hospital. Phillip Hudson
