I'm 25 years old and tore my ACL playing rugby in January. I was recommended Paul by a family friend, also a GP, and I cannot thank her enough for doing that. Within a month, I had my operation done after a consultation with Paul. He made it clear that I needed surgery and to get the extension operation as well, the "LET" to make the knee more durable and stronger. He clearly explained that given the sports I play and the level I play at, that it would be wise to get it done as it would make sure I was less likely to repeat the injury. He also explained that it would be a huge pain for a number of weeks but, in the long-term it would be worth it. I am now 5 1/2 months post-surgery, and it is a testament to how good Paul is that I am able to run, cycle, play golf, squat with a full range of motion, do high knees, box jump on one leg and do side to side one the one leg. I passed the rugby straight line test with ease and he has discharged me. Paul has surpassed all my expectations because I have friends that have torn their ACLs and kept telling me it would be 9 months before any normality and I would lose leg muscle mass. I am well ahead of where I imagined I would be, and Paul was absolutely brilliant the entire way, ensuring that I pushed myself hard enough to beat the common problems post-ACL tear. I cannot thank Paul enough for what he has done for me, because like many others I can't live without sport and he's made sure it won't be the full 12 month lay-off.
