Once I was referred to Mr Kim no time was wasted and my surgery for a hip replacement was carried out very quickly. I had advanced arthritis and it was bone on bone, extremely painful and difficult to walk. I should have been referred to him much sooner, but the NHS seem to be using delaying tactics through Kingsgate House which ultimately accumulates bigger problems. Now, thanks to Mr. Kim I have made a good recovery and I am able to walk again. However, greater care needs to be taken to advise patients that an epidural can immobilise the bladder and bowels for several days. I had to have a catheter fitted. I thought this was unusual and it was extremely worrying. It was only later that the urology dept at Stepping Hill told me that this was quite common. If I had known in the first place I would not have been so worried. I am extremely grateful to Mr Kim, he has given me my life back. I would not hesitate to recommend him.
