- Mr Singleton is professional, knowledgeable, and has an excellent ‘bedside manner’. He takes his time and explained things fully. I feel very confident in his judgment.
- Very informative and reassuring. Examined me well and gave thorough explanation of next steps.
- Highly professional, giving an objective assessment of treatments available, which is invaluable in making an informed decision.
- I found James Singleton very professional in all aspects of his job and consultation with me. He listened and is very honest with his answers. James also expects his patients to actively contribute to their well-being and recovery to increase its success rate. I have been very satisfied with my consultations.
- The entire experience with Mr Singleton, from initial consultation to post-op sign off consultation, has been really positive. My procedure was well-explained and Mr Singleton was always really friendly. The clinical settings in which my consultations and procedure took place were fantastic and everyone was very helpful. I cannot recommend Mr Singleton and his practice 'Joint Reaction' enough.
- Very impressed with the treatment that l received at the Nuffield Hospital in Woking under the care of Mr James Singleton.
- From my first consultation through to my knee surgery and recovery, Mr Singleton made me feel confident, informed, and well looked after. The level of personal attention and care I received throughout was exceptional.Doctor's response -Many thanks for taking the time to leave your review and am delighted to have been able to help you overcome your knee issues.
- After undergoing surgery for knee arthritis I’m now pain free and have even been able to return to running again, something I never thought would be possible. I couldn’t be happier that I went to Mr Singleton for treatment.
- I managed to see Mr James Singleton in Dec 24 and Jan 25. My knees are shot to bits. Not much he can do as yet. We decided to go for a steroid injection in each knee. Wow. Here I am October 25 and still pretty much pain free. I’ve been delighted with the outcome. Thank You.
