Specialist knee surgeon

I am so thrilled with my knee replacement operation. Already have more movement and less pain than I’ve had in years. I am full of hope for the future now looking forward to many a challenging walk and lots more time to play with my grandchildren. I am indebted to you (and your robot!)

You have changed my life.

I have not suffered anything more than discomfort during the whole procedure. My belief is that Neil’s surgery is so skilled that the knee area does not suffer severe trauma, and that this is coupled with your excellent understanding of the medication needed during the early post-operative period, and the ward staff’s ability to communicate with me and manage the stronger pain killers, also I think I was lucky!

Perfect surgeon, physios and nurses and perfect Anaesthetist (Kat). I've made a good recovery.

Everything was perfect, right from the initial diagnosis to the operation.

This knee replacement was so amazingly different from the first one. This one was robot-assisted. Less painful and off painkillers by 6 weeks. More confident to bend/exercise/weight bear and the scar has almost gone. Had a better understanding of what I should be doing and more importantly why I should be exercising my knee.

Excellent care both pre- and post-operation. Mr  Bradbury has an excellent team around him, and he leads by example. I am now able to resume normal activities, having had both arthritic knees replaced. Thank you so much!

As this was my first time of being in hospital, I was quite anxious but was immediately put at ease by Neil Bradbury and his team. Special thanks to Dr Kat Mitchell for explaining the spinal block anaesthetic which I was particularly worried about. Each step of each procedure was clearly explained to me well in advance so I knew what to expect. The aftercare was amazing and I was discharged just two days after the operation. Less than two weeks later, I can now walk short distances without pain and without the use of any aids. Thank you.

Neil and Kat Mitchell are an exceptional team. Everything is explained concisely and clearly. I felt that I was in very safe hands. Kat’s follow up the day after surgery was brilliant and very helpful. I was very happy with the service I received from start to finish.

Had my first knee replacement years ago and wondered if the team were still going strong, just had the other one replaced and there they were stronger than ever Mr Neil bradbury and Kat Mitchell with there team what a crew nothing to much trouble all questions answered I loved being spoken to and not at great job many many thanks to you all

Having recently had a hernia operation under local anaesthetic, which hadn’t worked, I was nervous. What a fool I was. I don’t know what happened, but I sat down on the couch and lent forward to receive the epidural and the next thing I knew, I woke up in the recovery room. Dr Mitchell recounted to me later that I had chatted for 10 minutes and then fell asleep after telling her to make certain that she did it correctly, as I didn’t want a repeat of the hernia situation. She certainly did it correctly and with total professionalism and care. Thank you. Nick

I am amazed, from a patient’s view, how simple the whole experience was when it came to pass. I had been seeing Mr Bradbury for a number of years as my knee became worse as time went on. I had just turned 78 and although fit there was a possibility that my health could deteriorate. If that happened it would be too late. What I liked was Mr Bradbury was very explicit in what he said and told it as it was. No flannel. The care I had in the hospital was excellent and gave me confidence to get on with it. It is now 16 days since I had the procedure and I am walking reasonable well and getting stronger every day. Looking forward to being on the golf course soon. Thank you, I really appreciate what you have done. Nick

Excellent care whilst entirely professional. Also felt very personal and caring.
