- I saw Giles Stafford because I wanted a 2nd opinion on issue with my hips as the previous consultant hadn't filled me with any confidence. It turned out that this consultant was completely wrong on my prognosis. Giles was clearly an expert in this field. Definitely recommend
- I highly recommend Mr Stafford to anyone with hip problems. He immediately made me feel comfortable and well looked after from the first appointment, then before, during and after my surgery, and for the aftercare that lasted for 6 months post op. I’m lucky to have found him!
- First visit but all positive so far
- Excellent in every regard
