I was referred to Mr Berber after three years of increasing knee pain and a growing difficulty in walking. My previous life style was severely affected and, although I had tried various exercises and regular gym sessions, I was not winning and It was a great comfort and relief to meet Mr Berber and hear his conformation that I was a candidate for knee replacement. He was very easy to talk to, and made me feel I was in safe hands. We discussed whether I was a suitable candidate for a day case and we both agreed that I was. I had the advantage of having a responsible adult (my husband) at home to take care of me after the surgery. On the day of the procedure, I arrived at the hospital early morning and I knew from the moment I arrived I was in the hands of a dream team. I was awake during the operation and by lunch time I was back on the ward. Once the initial pain was under control and I was able to negotiate the stairs on crutches, Mr Berber deemed me fit to come home. I was discharged with an ample supply of medication, an ice pack and a promise of next day phone check ups from the nurse and the anaesthetist. At my follow-up appointment Mr Berber showed me an X-ray of my knee replacement and answered all my questions. Mr Berber and his team are amazing and I can’t thank them enough.
