I first met Mr Heaton in January after having first been seen earlier by a member of his team in September. I was very impressed by his manner, confidence and humour. Having previously had a hip Replacement done that left my left leg a bit shorter than the right, I asked Mr Heaton if he would be able to balance my leg lengths up. He promised that he would try his best.. The operation was done in February at Grantham Hospital and on the evening of the operation I was walking in the ward with a frame under a nurses supervision. The following day I was discharged and went home. In the intervening six weeks, I have progressed from the frame to walking sticks then a single stick. I now only need a stick for the first 2 or 3 paces and am able to walk normally albeit a bit slower but that is improving all the time. I went for a check up with Mr Heaton and told him how pleased I was with the results of the operation especially now that my legs are virtually evened up. If I am ever in the unfortunate position of needing orthopaedic surgery again, I would really want Mr Heaton to perform it. You are sir, a Star. Also the nursing staff on the ward and elsewhere that I came across were all excellent
