Winston Kim, FRCS(Orth)

Written by a patient at Spire Manchester Hospital

Mr Kim was recommended to me by my physiotherapist, who advised I should see an orthopaedic surgeon when a twisting injury to my knee failed to respond to treatment. I contacted Mr.Kim's office late one Friday afternoon, and within a week I had had a consultation, MRI scan and diagnosis of my problem. Mr. Kim has a very pleasant and personable manner, which immediately puts you at ease. He also takes time to explain your symptoms and gives you all the information you need to make an informed decision. I was admitted to the Spire Hospital Manchester very quickly for a knee arthroscopy and meniscectomy and as an active 58 year old I am delighted with the outcome. I was immediately mobile and had no pain or swelling following surgery. Mr. Kim is obviously a very skilled surgeon and I cannot thank him enough for the efficient but caring treatment I have received. I would have no hesitation in highly recommending him.

I had a hip replacement in May 2012 performed by Mr. Winston Kim whom I found to be very approachable, imformative and sympathetic. Mr. Kim explained about the operation to me which put me at ease as I had been quite anxious up to this point. The operation went well and the aftercare I received from Mr. Kim and the nursing staff was excellent. I had several follow up appointments as is the norm, each time I saw Mr. Kim personally. I would not hesitate to have further treatment from Mr. Kim should the need arise.

I would highly recommend Mr. Winston Kim. The first time I met him for my consultation about my hip problem, I knew that I had been very fortunate in my choice of Orthopaedic Surgeon. He was friendly, caring but most professional and when he advised me that I should have a total hip replacement I had total confidence in him. The operation went very well and now 6 weeks later with the help of my physiotherapy sessions, I am almost fully recovered and can even walk well without any crutches. My most sincere thanks to Mr. Kim for the wonderful job that he did. Barry Higgins.

I have had full knee replacement surgery on both knees in the last 12 months with both operations being performed by Mr Kim. He was highly recommended by a member of staff at the referring clinic for his skill, competence and caring manner with patients. I can now personally attest to all those qualities. As a person who is extremely nervous about any medical appointment, let alone two operations, I found Mr Kim to be incredibly kind and patient. He allayed many of my fears with his calm approach and willingness to listen to me and discuss the process before, during and after the operations, in great detail. The quality of care I received was first class and whilst I am in the early stages of recouperation from the second knee operation, the first went extremely well and has given me hope that I can regain greater mobility and have a more active lifestyle even though I am in my 80s. I would also like to thank all the staff - clerical, medical/surgical and physiotherapy - at the hospital (The Alexandra, Cheshire) for their exemplary care of me on both occasions. The standard of cleanliness in the hospital was extremely high and the food was marvellous.

After breaking my hip in a simple fall, a surgeon (not Mr Kim) repaired it with a bi polar hip replacement. Months later I was still unable to walk, endured constant debilitating pain, and had lost faith in that surgeon. Despite reassurances to the contrary, I knew something was wrong and decided I needed a new orthopaedic surgeon to help put it right. But who? I not only needed a consultant surgeon with the right skills but also someone I could trust. Based on his qualifications, experience and specialism, after careful research, I chose Mr Winston Kim from a list of four consultant orthopaedic surgeons recommend to me by a trusted source. From our first meeting in assessment clinic, through diagnosis of the need for full hip replacement revision surgery, to pre-op and post-op meetings, and the day of surgery itself, Mr Kim built my confidence, retained my trust, and used his skills to reconstruct my hip. Throughout the process, Mr Kim listened, understood, explained and, above all, cared. Today, three weeks after surgery, I am weight bearing and walking with sticks. The operation was a complete success and over the next few months, with exercise and physiotherapy to rebuild my muscles, Mr Kim sees no reason why I shouldn’t regain full mobility. My choice of Mr Winston Kim was definitely the right decision. You put your trust and your life in your surgeons hands. Mr Kim has given me back my life and rebuilt my trust. I would recommend him to anyone.
