“Outstanding Surgeon, Smooth Recovery, Truly Personal Care”

As this was my second hip replacement, I feel more than adequately qualified to comment on the ‘care’ provided by my surgeon, Mr Obakponovwe. My first experience, with a different surgeon, had not been plain sailing so, understandably, I was a little apprehensive about hip number two. However, Mr Obakponovwe’s positive attitude and cheerful willingness to listen to me, put me at my ease prior to surgery. In the days which followed, I could not get over the difference between the two operations…the recovery has been far speedier and less painful. Everything about my treatment has been exemplary. I am not sure what, if anything, could have been bettered. When you sign on the dotted line to allow someone to carry out major surgery on your body, it is important to feel that you still retain your rights as an individual and that you haven’t just morphed into a statistic. I really felt that I was seen as a person and not just another name on the afternoon surgery schedule. I appreciate that it is still early days as far as getting to ‘know’ my new hip is concerned, but judging by my current mobility I have every confidence that we will get on just fine. It is so important to me that I can maintain my agility and independence, so I feel I owe Mr Obakponovwe a huge (and relieved) vote of thanks.
