Mr Matthew Waites recently carried out my total hip replacement surgery with which I am extremely happy. I am an active 82 year old lady and I made a very quick recovery with no problems and am now back to normal. Mr Waites is a warm, friendly, attentive gentleman. He thoroughly explained the operating procedure involved, all the possible outcomes and continued aftercare. He is kind and caring, and did an excellent job, for which I am very very grateful.

I was quite worried about the procedure and recovery but the treatment I received by all staff was first class. Mr Waites was excellent from my first consultation to where I am now in recovery. I have to say my scar is the neatest I have ever seen. Would highly recommend him
