Mr Rupert Clifton

Written by a private patient at Fitzwilliam Hospital

I have known Mr Rupert Clifton as an out-patient for nearly four years during which time he guided me through treatment for osteo-arthritis in my left knee. He always listened to my description of the condition, and laid out the options before me. The decision was always mine, guided by him, but never taken by him. When I felt that the treatments had done all they could and the arthritis was affecting the quality of my life, Mr Clifton supported me in the decision to opt for knee replacement. He described the whole process of designing, procurring and fitting the replacement. He also explained what might go wrong and the risks, which are pretty much the same for any surgery of this kind. He also set out the costs and funding options. The great thing I remember was his absolute confidence in the decision - it instantly quelled any qualms I may have had. The day of the operation was perfect, I felt surrounded by a highly skilled team who supported me the whole time and I felt safe and confident throughout. Post operative support has been equally top notch. If you are looking for an osteo- surgeon, I have no hesitation in recommending Mr Clifton.

Thank you Mr Clifton for the right full knee replacement you did for me in March this year. You explained everything to me on my pre operation appointment & willingly answered a few extra questions I had too. On the day of my operation you spoke to me before & after my operation & this was reassuring. My operation went very well thanks to your expertise & skill. I am now 6 weeks after my operation & healing well. This is the second full knee replacement you have done successfully for me. After my first operation I knew I would need the 2nd one done too at some point & you were obviously my 1st choice to do this too I would recommend you to anyone needing knee surgery & would like to finish with a huge thank you for all of your help.

Mr Clifton explained what my problem was in understandable terms and the surgery needed to correct it. Everything he said about the operation and recovery needed was exactly how it turned out, with thankfully no complications at all probably due to his expertise. Very efficient, very professional I would recommend Mr Clifton to anyone.

I found Mr Clifton very understanding and caring. He was very informative of what I could expect in my care also of the risks involved due to my size and age. I would recommend him to anyone who asked me about a orthopaedic surgeon
