- The service I receive from the date of my consultation with Mr Gibbon and the procedure being carried out has been excellent from the start including all clinical staff that have been extremely helpful and very professional with nothing being to much trouble for them, ensuring I was well taken care off before and after my procedure
- I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Mr Gibbon. He always ran on time. The one time I was late due to traffic this was no issue for him. He explained everything I needed to know. 4 weeks after my Arthroscopy I can tell the difference in my knee I have so much more movement. Hopefully I won't need to see him again but if I ever require a orthopedic consultant I would definitely go back to Mr Gibbon
- Very helpful staff, comfortable waiting area and no delays in seeing Mr Gibbon. First class treatment throughout the whole process.
- Mr Gibbon is truly a remarkable man, he explained my diagnosis and said what would happen when doing the procedure to my right knee. All people involved in this procedure at the Nuffield York were well organized and treated me very well whilst in their care, also a big thank you to Mr gibbons secretary aswell.
