- Mr Bliss was an excellent surgeon for my ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair. He was generous with his time and thorough with his explanations. I had total confidence in him as my surgeon, both before and after the procedure. I would not hesitate to recommend him
- Mr Bliss has operated on both my knees previously after injuries and will always happily go back to him for any new problems.
- I had an ACL recovery surgery and meniscus operation on left knee and, meniscus operation on the right knee with Dr. Bliss. He was very helpful during the process before and after the operation, explaining every single step.
- I have known Mr Bliss for 20 years and he has performed a major operation on me and more recently a minor operation. He is clear with his communication and allows me to fully discuss the implications of any procedure the risks and hopefully rewards.
