I completely recommend Professor Philip Chapman-Sheath for both surgical excellence, patient care and professionalism. His approachable and caring nature made the surgical choices clear and understandable.
His pioneering of using the V-Pulse icing and compression device both during my stay and after my surgery has significantly improved pain management and recovery.

Response from Professor Philip Chapman-Sheath
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your feedback following knee surgery - I am delighted that the BREG V-Pulse cold compression therapy has been so useful. It has revolutionised post op care by providing both analgesia ( less painkillers) aswell as reducing post op swelling and assisting in a quicker return to activity and function We will continue to offer this innovative treatment to our private patients Thanks again and well done on a speedy recovery !

I first saw Professor Chapman-Sheath around 18 months ago and was advised that my left knee needed replacing.
At the time, I wasn't ready to commit to doing this privately and wanted to pursue the NHS option as well.
Professor Chapman-Sheath suggested using an medial offset brace to ease the pain and enable me to continue until surgery.
I did get into the NHS system but was advised that as I was at least 40kgs overweight, and the waiting list was around 2 years, and it wouldn't be done anytime before then.
This gave me the incentive to get fit and within 6 months of joining a gym and swimming 3 times a week, I managed to loose 20kgs and felt fit enough to face surgery.
I had my surgery in early April this year and I am now 6 weeks post op and doing incredibly well.
The first 10 days were painful, but after that, I barely needed any painkillers, was bending my knee and walking on it reasonably well.
Within 2 1/2 weeks, I was back in the swimming pool, swimming around 750 - 1000 metres without any problem at all. I have also been doing the hydrotherapy at the Nuffield which has been incredibly helpful.
I firmly believe that the time spent getting fitter pre surgery has been the biggest help in my swift recovery. I have previously had a knee replacement 9 years ago and it did not recover as quickly as this one has.

So good to hear of your fabulously speedy recovery and the value of pre-operative fitness and weight- loss - an important message for future knee replacement patients Well done on your weight loss goal and your determination to get better sooner

Knee replacement performed after years of patching me up. Very reassuring manner and professional through out. Very happy with result.
Would highly recommend. Also the VREG V pulse cool water massaging pump was brilliant as it is a painful operation, order before so it is ready when you get home!

The Professor's professionalism and caring attitude was second to none. He listened to me and put me at ease; answering all of my questions in a matter of fact way but with an empathetic outlook.
I would totally recommend the Professor and if and when my other knee needs attention I will be going back to him to have it put right.
I would also like to add that the Professor's secretary was exceptionally helpful and efficient.
