Simon is professional. After an initial consultation and an MRI scan, Simon explained what was going on with my knee and the options available. Simon gave me all the information I required to make my surgery decision. The surgery went as expected, and my post-op rehabilitation journey has been in line with pre-op expectations. I would recommend Simon.

Striking knowledge and skill in orthopaedic (knee) matters. Very good and positive in his explanation and qualifying his diagnosis. Reassuring manner. Confident, as becoming a learned specialist Consultant. Will be using Simon as and when surgery is required (if he'll agree to it!). Best move I could have made, seeing him.
