- I am very pleased Mr Plastow carried out my procedure. From the first time I met him he was supremely professional and knowledgeable giving me confidence. He spend time explaining the MRI of my injury describing how he was going to carry out the procedure. Highly recommended.
- Excellent and informative appointment; Mr Plastow is an excellent communicator and explains a lot of the background information to the specific problem you're asking about. Very thorough in looking at the whole history and clear in giving advice. Thanks, Ricci.
- It would be difficult to provide a full assessment at this stage, as it was the first consultation, but the first impression was very good!
- My elderly mother received top class professional support from Mr Plastow. He went the extra mile explaining and ensuring that she understood. It was exceptional service.
- I was incredibly impressed with Mr Plastow. Having been told by a previous surgeon that the tear in my meniscus was not repairable I approached Mr Plastow for a second opinion. He confirmed he was able to repair it and the surgery all went to plan. I could not be more thankful!
- Professional and reassuring
- Fast , courteous and efficient assessment and advice.
