- Dr Deo is simply the God of knees! He has done a partial and a full knee replacement for me within 15 months. Having never had an op before it can be a pretty stressful time but Dr Deo does everything in his power to make you feel at ease with the procedure and gives you all the info you need to keep you calm and as relaxed as possible. I want to thank him for taking good care of me twice and thank his amazing team. The nurses on the newish concept ward do an amazing job before and after the op.
- Very happy with my consultation and advice given
- Mr Deo is a fabulous consultant orthopaedic surgeon. I have had 2 procedures this year - half knee replacement and hip replacement and they have been done to the highest standard. In face the hip was so good and painless, I questioned whether he had actually done the operation!
- Mr Deo recently repaired my ACL. He is professional with a great depth of knowledge. He has done an amazing job fixing my knee and I will definitely recommend him to anyone with knee issues. I was quickly back to my feet with his fantastic work! Very grateful.
