I have been impressed by Mr McDonnell’s care and professionalism in all my dealings with him. He demonstrates great energy, being in the wards early in the morning, operating throughout the day and seeing outpatients into the evening, always making the individual patient feel they have his full focus and attention. He is approachable and friendly, and answers questions fully and in an understandable way, never making the patient feel silly for asking. His expertise is evident in my swift recovery with relief from hip pain and a super neat scar which is receding well. He works with his team to ensure any patient anxiety is reduced on entering the theatre and with the anaesthetist to minimise the effects post-op. I have felt like an individual throughout my experience and that my pain resolution matters to Mr McDonnell. I am extremely grateful that my mobility has also improved immeasurably in such a short time. I have no constructive criticism to offer for improvement.
