Professor Philip Chapman-Sheath

Written by a patient at Spire Southampton Hospital

Mr Chapman Sheath has replaced both of my knees over a two and a half year period. I have no regrets in having them done as Mr Chapman Sheath explained the problems and put my mind at ease about the complications of the operation. Although I was more apprehensive about having the second one done the operation went well and I have been signed off after only six months. I must emphasise how important it has been to complete the Physiotherapy and carry on exercising afterwards it is hard work but well worth it.

Had complete faith in Mr Chapman Sheath from the first consultation. At present I am four weeks on from my surgery and everything is going well as expected. My physio is Mrs Lesley Boyd in Lymington who is doing a great job and she often has patients referred to her by Mr Chapman Sheath. Mr Chapman Sheath will see me again in 5/6 months with an X-ray beforehand. The anaesthetist for my operation was great. It is very remiss of me because I can’t remember his name but he works with Mr Chapman-Sheath often. I had the spinal anaesthetic with a sedative - fantastic and would go down that route again and he looked after me very well. I was in hospital for three days and well looked after.

I saw Mr Chapman-Sheath for my total right knee replacement following the excellent help, advice and success of my wife's two total knee replacements, 7 and 10 years previously. I also had excellent consultations and surgery. At 79 years of age I was driving and back at the gym and on the golf course, with a trolley, some 4/5 weeks after the operation. I had full flexibility of that knee. I was however surprised that I still suffered some discomfort when using stairs, putting on socks and turning in bed. This gradually diminished and I ceased taking any pain-killers at about 4 months. I have now been discharged by Mr Chapman-Sheath at 6 months and will have no hesitation whatsoever in returning to have my other knee replaced, if deemed necessary.

Instantly likeable and gives me great confidence. Explains everything clearly and says it like it is and not underestimating the feelings after the operation. Constantly promotes exercises and their importance and visits me everyday to encourage me. Clear concise and impressive as well as a friendly attitude and a smiley face. The Spire, nursing staff and physios all efficient and caring. Made a difficult experience bearable and manageable.

I had a total knee replacement in Jan 2019. I had done extensive research into the surgeon I wanted and Mr CS was my preferred option in the south of England. From the initial consultation through to the current post-operative phase he has been approachable, willing to answer numerous questions and at all times made me feel my case was important. He speaks in a clear and no-nonsense manner, is extremely confident but not cocky (unlike others in my experience) and this in turn instils confidence in me as a patient. I have no hesitation in recommending him.
