Mr Philip Heaton

Written by a NHS patient at Pilgrim Hospital

I cannot praise this guy and his team enough From seeing Mr Heaton on my first consolation he put my mind at ease explaining the procedure and the benefits . I had my operation at Grantham hospital on the 26th of January and came out the next day free of pain . I walk with the aide of 2 walking sticks for the first 2 weeks then down to 1 for another 2 weeks then from week 4 totally unaided and pain free I took a stick out with me just in case but never needed it I put this down to the fantastic work of Mr Heaton and his team would I recommend him MOST DEFINITELY !

I asked specifically for Mr Heaton as he had successfully operated on my husband for both a hip and total knee replacement and I had personal recommendation from my husband. Mr Heaton listened to my concerns and only recommended total knee replacement when it became absolutely necessary. I felt totally confident in progressing with the surgery as it was thoroughly explained to me. The surgery was carried out successfully at Grantham by Mr Heaton and his team. After seeing the physio team the next morning I was allowed home later that day. It is now 3 months since my operation and I’ve completed a knee rehab physio class. My knee is pain free and I’m able to walk unaided quite easily again with my dog. I don’t need any painkillers and I am still continuing with the exercises as my muscles still need building up particularly as I want to return to playing tennis. I would thoroughly recommend Mr Heaton and his team they listened and were completely professional and caring. For anyone who is hesitant about having knee replacement surgery all I can say is it has given me back my independence in that I can now do so much more without pain and looking forward to doing even more in the future. I would just say listen to the physios and make sure you do the exercises they suggest.

I would just like to say I was extremely scared at the thought of a knee replacement.I had a consultation with Mr Heaton and he totally answered all the questions I put to him.I had friends that told me horror stories and said its really painful(and it is for the first couple of weeks).But Im so glad I had it done. Its 8 weeks since the op and able to do so much more without the pain I used to get.I say if I had it done(and im a baby!!!!!) anyone can . Mr Heaton was absolutely the kindest and attentive surgeon and thank him for giving me my life back pain free.
