I was referred to MrJackson in 2018 by my consultant in Hampshire Mr Mike Risebury. After knee replacements, open knee surgery and several other procedures on the same knee, Mr RIsebury wanted to rule out any underlying infection. When I met Mr Jackson he wasted no time in arranging biopsies from the knee. Those biopsies came back negative but Mr Jackson explained there was a possibility of bacteria lying dormant which could cause infection in the future. After advice from Mr Jackson I was placed on a 12 month pain management program by my doctor to see if the pain I was experiencing could be controlled and thus avoiding further surgery. Towards the end of 2019 I started to experience irritation of the knee which in February 2020 turned into an infection. After 3 cases of the infected area escalating over a two month period Mr Risebury again referred me to Mr Jackson who arranged a consultation visit within a couple of weeks. I was blown away when Mr Jackson met with me and introduced surgeons from plastics and bone infection to inspect the knee. A decision was made immediately to perform surgery and I was admitted on 24th August some 3 weeks after consultation. I have just completed 2 .5 weeks undergoing surgery and hospital recovery. What a wonderful experience from wonderful teams. Mr Jackson has been with me all the way and I feel very humbled for his caring and that of his teams and the other teams who have executed the plan for my surgery and follow up care. This is stage 1 of a 2 stage plan so I will be discharged from hospital today and recuperate at home for 12 weeks before being through stage 2. I feel very safe and secure in Mr Jacksons hands and will be forever grateful to Mr Risebury for his support, all the fantastic skills of the teams at Nuffield and Mr Jackson for his wonderful support and giving me the opportunity to progress my recovery
