Mr Tai was Friendly, knowledgeable & professional from the beginning.
He has fixed both of my knees now (Torn cartilidges & clean up of lose debris in my knees which was causing pain and constant locking)
I honestly cannot recommend him & his team enough- I felt totally safe & looked after from start to finish & the results speak for themselves. I am now mobile & pain free which has changed my life around.
Thank you so much to the whole team & Mr Tai

I had a total knee replacement performed by Mr. Stephen Tai at Lister hospital on August 4th.The operation was successful and has improved my mobility considerably
There was good pre-op information and excellent after-care.
My only criticism was the length of time it took to see a physiotherapist post-op

I had a cartilage repair in jan 2022 done by mr Tai. Before the procedure he explained that because my scans were not showing anything conclusive the operation would only be exploratory. He made my options very clear as to what he would be able to do depending on his findings with all of the pros cons and risks involved. I gave him consent to go ahead and fix any damage that he might find. After the operation he personally came to my room and explained what he found and repaired. Before I had the operation I was having problems and pain on a daily basis, 9 months later I have not had any issues and couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you again mr Tai

I had a knee replacement this year and Mr Stephen Tai did the operation. He was very professional throughout and he has done an amazing job with my knee. It took me about three months to recover fully but I am so pleased with the result. I have now gone back to activities such as dancing and walking long distances, that I could not participate in before and I am out of pain. I have awarded four stars for Mr Tai in every element and can fully recommend him as a surgeon.

I had a total hip replacement on the 29th June 2022 at Pinehill Hospital. I am extremely pleased with the result and this morning after seven weeks was able to easily walk 3 miles. At every stage I felt confident with the care I received from Mr Tai. The operation went well and my recovery also.
