Explanation

I have known Mr Atkinson since 2016 and always found him to be very professional and approachable. He has performed total replacement surgery on both my knees and hips and I am extremely pleased with the outcome of these four procedures and my subsequent recovery on each occasion. Prior to my surgeries I was in considerable pain and my mobility was severely restricted, but I now feel that Mr Atkinson’s expertise in his particular field has enabled me to once again resume my favourite activities ie walking and travelling, and I will always be grateful to him for this.

Mr Atkinson gave me all the reassurance I needed ahead of my foot operation. On the day of the operation he and his team were exceptional in their care and made me feel very comfortable. The three month after care was also great with all my questions answered very quickly in between my pre booked follow up appointments. Thank you so much.

Explanation

Mr Atkinson replaced my 78 year old hip in October 2023. He had gone out of his way to operate as quickly as possible having seen the results of the MRI. The actual operation went smoothly and quickly. An extremely detailed report was sent to my GP and copied to me. After discharge, I took only paracetamol and that for only two weeks. I know no-one who has had as little pain after a hip replacement. I was able to walk confidently without sticks after 4 weeks. At the 6-8 week check, I was shown the X-ray of my hip and the 'made to measure' and perfectly fitted implant which may explain some of the above. At all stages of treatment both pre and post operation Mr Atkinson explained what would and what had happened. He answered every question patiently and in depth. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Explanation

Dr Atkinson managed to see me during his very busy clinic which I appreciated very much for my ACL injury. As I completely lost confidence in my knee, Dr Atkinson assured me it is possible to go back to the sport I love the most. Not only he advised surgery in my case, he thoroughly explained the pre-post preparation such as physiotherapy and diet which I struggled with for couple of months as this was very crucial for my post-op recovery. I was very happy with the service he provided and thanked him during follow up appointments for putting my faith back in being able to play football again in near future after full recovery.

Explanation

I first saw henry in 2021 after emergency tibial plateau surgery to correct catastrophic damage to my knee caused by a high speed cycling accident. I was in a mess with the knee and associated complications including; fractured vertebrae, venous congestion, PE and nerve damage. From the outset henry took ownership of my general care and this was a huge relief. I was struggling to see a positive future but his explanations of scenarios, timescales and treatment options and his positive nature and encouragement helped me to understand things in a very clear way. After every consultation his reports were comprehensive, informative and very well structured. I always felt Henry took the time to listen, and to answer the many questions I had in a way that was never patronising, but was always clear, thoughtful and collaborative. Henry is clearly an outstanding surgeon but more than this he cares about his patients and their welfare. Henry supported me brilliantly with the completion of insurance documents and his support and encouragement for my recovery was constant. perhaps unlike some others patients I found the technical aspects of my case fascinating, looking at 3D scans of my knee on screen and asking questions that Henry was always happy to answer. I will be forever grateful for the skill, support and encouragement that particularly Henry, and also his team, showed me throughout my recovery. I can't recommend Henry highly enough, brilliant at what he does and a very nice man.
