- Cannot fault my experience at all! Great service and really professional and competent surgeon I felt totally safe with and could trust.
- I’m really grateful to Dr Goddard, for making a stressful experience much easier. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made me feel confident going into surgery. My recovery has been going well thanks to his structured recovery protocol and guidance.
- I went through ACL reconstruction surgery with Mr Goddard and felt comfortable the whole time. Mr Goddard is very professional, knowledgeable, and reassuring. I was happy to have been his patient. He also helped in recommending physiotherapists to work with, who ended up being great as well. Big thanks again!
- I had a PCL injury on my left knee on the back of a bike accident, which is now recovered thanks to Mr Goddard’s treatment. I’m very happy with the end to end treatment, Mr Goddard is a very professional orthopaedist, he had a clear approach and he was very clear with the treatment and things I needed to do to completely recover from the injury. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mr Goddard for any knee related problem.
- Mr Goddard was amazing. He was very personable and listened intently to what led to by injury. After scheduling a MRI on very short notice ahead of a vacation weekend, he went out of his way to check the results and call me late in the evening so that I could go away on my break with peace of mind that the injury was not too severe. I highly recommend!
- Very friendly, professional, and clear when imparting diagnosis and any information. A real pleasure to work with and have treatment from.
