Remarkable Care and Reassurance from a Skilled Surgeon

Very recently I had a total knee replacement, I’ve been lucky enough never to have had any major surgery and have always been very active up until the point my knee became so damaged it needed to be replaced. I was assigned to Mr Obakponovwe’s surgical list. What I like is that Mr Obakponovwe has a very informal style which I really appreciated, it put me at ease and meant I could ask questions about the procedure and prepare in advance for the operation. The operation has been a success and although I’m only at the start of the recovery process I’m already making good progress. When I next saw Mr O again at the fracture clinic he was so encouraging – I had been worried about the flexion and ROM in my new knee – but he was so reassuring – I left the clinic on cloud nine with hardly a limp! I don’t doubt that he’s a very skilled surgeon but I particularly appreciated his ability to connect and communicate with me as a patient. That’s also a valuable asset for any doctor . So, Mr Obakponovwe thank you to you and your team.
