I had a hip replacement in March and a knee replacement in August this year, both performed by Mr Pearce and his team at The Spire. I can't praise Mr Pearce enough for his care and attention, before and after both operations. During each meeting / consultation, he made me feel relaxed and confident, explained everything clearly and answered all my questions. Both Mel the Physiotherapist and Mr Pearce did pre warn me that the hip replacement was a 'walk in the park' compared to the knee surgery and I'm glad they did, as I felt more prepared for the pain following the knee operation. As this was my first experience of hip and knee replacements, I personally would have found it even more reassuring to have had some idea of the recovery milestones 'post op'. Although I appreciate we all experience different timescales regarding healing, I did find it a bit frustrating not knowing whether I was doing too much exercise, or not enough, during the first 6 weeks after surgery, as there was nothing I could assess myself against. I want this feedback to be received as constructive criticism and not negative comments, as Mel and her team of physios were excellent and without their support, I would not have made such a good recovery.
