I had a great experience from start to finish with Mr McDonnell. I was injured abroad whilst on a ski season. Mr McDonnell was extremely accommodating, allowing me to remain in France for the initial consultation. This flexibility allowed me to complete my season before returning home for the procedure. The care I received at Nuffield Cambridge was excellent, especially considering it was during the COVID-19 pandemic. I would absolutely recommend Mr McDonnell to anyone, and am extremely pleased with the results of my ACL reconstruction!

I cannot praise Mr McDonnell enough. From the initial consultation through to todays 7 week follow up meeting he has inevitably been friendly and approachable and willing to answer any question comprehensively. The actual operation went perfectly - but it’s really good to learn that there is another follow-up in 12 months just to make sure that all is progressing normally. The difference this op has made to my life is immense. If anyone in need of a hip replacement has any doubts - please get it done! And if you are lucky enough to get Mr McDonnell to do the op that will be a real bonus!

Mr McDonald and his team made us very welcome and gave us all the time we needed to understand the ins and outs of the operation. He answered all of our questions and made sure we were informed every step of the way.
