My thanks to Mr Tai for his great work in replacing my hip. He explained what the procedure would be and the operation was a great success. Immediately following the operation I was totally pain free and able to walk unaided after five weeks.
I would recommend Mr Tai, he has a very pleasant manner and certainly put me at ease.

I would like to thank Stephen Tai and his theatre staff for the great work he did replacing my hip.
From my first consultation to my final follow up the whole procedure was carried out professionally and l
was totally at ease throughout.

Stephen was concerned about my hip and said he wanted it completed within 3 months. I was a little skeptical but 4 months later I was done!! Operation was more complex than first thought but again was offered physio work within a few weeks. Well done to Stephen's team!! Thank you.

I saw Mr Tai for a full hip replacement. He explained the procedure clearly and answered all my questions thoroughly. The operation was a great success and I was walking unaided (slowly but unaided!) after 10 days. The wound site healed very well and there was almost no bruising to the leg at all - which amazed my physio. I can thoroughly recommend Mr Tai and whilst I would have no hesitation in using him again - I sincerely hope I don’t ever have cause to!

We found Stephen Tai to be a very professional and approachable specialist, who listened carefully to all that was said and gave answers that were clear and understandable, using x-rays where necessary, at the initial consultation.
The hip joint replacement was very successful, with no problems arising during or after the procedure. I did not suffer any pain throughout the two day stay in hospital or afterwards at home.
Mr Tai visited me during my stay in hospital. I was also advised that he, the medical and physio teams could be contacted if any issues arose after my discharge from hospital. A final consultation was arranged for six weeks after my operation, where we had an open discussion on the operation and he clarified any concerns I had about returning to normal activities.
I would thoroughly recommend the services of Stephen Tai.
