Professor Philip Chapman-Sheath

Written by a private patient at Spire Southampton Hospital

Professor Chapman-Sheath was fantastic from start to finish when it came to my knee problem and surgery. He explains everything in great detail but easy to understand. My physio Stephanie Kane is also really good as I thought I was struggling with my recovery at first but she gave me some really good exercises and now my knee is improving loads

I am so pleased that I chose Professor Chapman-Sheath for my knee replacement surgery. He put me at ease from the moment I met him with his gentle manner and expert knowledge. He was very good at explaining what was causing the pain in my knees and also the options for treatment. My initial consultation with the Professor, in which he listened carefully to my concerns, gave me the confidence to move forward with the treatment in the knowledge that I was in good hands. On the day of my surgery at the Nuffield Health Wessex Hospital in Southampton, Professor Chapman Sheath, and everyone on his team, offered excellent care before during and after the operation. I also felt very encouraged by Professor Chapman-Sheath's personal check-in visits on the ward to see how I was getting on following the surgery. It is now 5 weeks since my surgery and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. The comprehensive advice and information that I have been given throughout by Professor Chapman-Sheath, the hospital staff and the physiotherapy department has really supported my recovery very well.

Professor Chapman-Sheath is straightforward, thoroughly pleasant and informative. He explained to me very clearly what he thought might be the problem with my knee, gave me the option of where to have an MRI scan - I chose Bournemouth where the personal attention was second to none. I cannot recommend Bournemouth strongly enough. He fitted me into his appointments days after the MRI and again clearly showed me where the damage was. He recommended a right knee Arthroscopy. I have absolute confidence in his decision and I am very happy to go ahead with a day surgery appointment. I would personally recommend anybody with a knee problem to take it to Professor Chapman-Sheath.

My experience at the Spire hospital was very good. Mr Chapman- Sheath performed a complete knee replacement & was very good explaining the operation to me. I am now 7 weeks after & have been walking without crutches for 3 weeks, am able to walk up & down stairs normally, & carrying on with life without discomfort. I would thoroughly recommend Mr. Chapman-Sheath, he was very kind & understanding. Joan Clarke

Professor Chapman-Sheath replaced my left knee joint in January 2016 and I was delighted with the result having really good movement and able to do most normal activities (had some trouble kneeling on firm surfaces). Unfortunately I fell and damaged the ligaments in this knee which resulted in me having to have a revision to the joint in November 2021. I was not looking forward to this as the risks are considerably higher due to the more invasive surgery; I was satisfied though that the professor was the surgeon to carry this procedure out for me. I need not have worried as professor Chapman-Sheath's expertise and years of experience showed with an excellent result; less than 4 weeks since surgery I have a stable knee joint, minimal pain and swelling and good movement. I am delighted with the result. Not only is the professor a brilliant surgeon but he is a genuinely lovely man. I can't recommend him highly enough. I will need my other knee joint replacing in the future and will move heaven and earth to ensure the professor does that one too!
