- Mr Chou was extremely professional and gave clear explanations before surgery, on the day of surgery and during the follow up meeting. Questions were encouraged and always answered with the level of detail expected. I would recommend Mr Chou without hesitation for hip replacement surgery
- My whole experience from the moment I was in contact with the hospital has been positive. Regarding Mr Chou, not only was my surgical procedure first class, but the respect and kindness shown to me, by him, was very much appreciated. I felt listened to , and validated when discussing the impact of the pain on my quality of life. Mr Chou was opened to questions, I never felt rushed. He was honest regarding timescales, and what would happen before and during my care. Thank you Mr Chou.
- Fantastic service from Mr Daud Chou answered all my questions and put me at ease for the surgery and aftercare. Staff at Nuffield 1st class was well looked after and facilities clean and modern.
- As with my first hip replacement, the second was even more successful. I feel fitter than I have for many years and I would have no hesitation in recommending Mr Chou.
- I would highly recommend Mr Chou he could not have been anymore helpful than we was. He sorted out my hip replacement within two weeks after receiving my MRI Scan results. I cannot recommend him enough and the whole hip replacement was absolutely great.
- Having used Mr Daud Chou previously to have my right hip replaced in 2022 which was very successful. I had every confidence that I he would achieve the same high standards when he replaced my left hip in October 25. With the help of the hospital physiotherapists I have made a full very good recovery. Mr Chou is friendly, professional and a good communicator. He answered all of my questions and I felt reassured at all times. I have in the past and will continue to recommend Mr Chou to friends.
- Mr Chou and the whole Nuffield Cambridge team were superb, from diagnosis through to post operative physio care. I could not recommend them highly enough.
- Every one at the hospital was extremely courteous, friendly and professional.
- The operation was very successful and I now find that I am pain-free and walking well
