- I am delighted with my hip surgery performed by Mr Horriat. The whole procedure was totally professional and I am very grateful to him for his expertise throughout. My recovery has been without any problems and I consider myself very fortunate to have been assigned to Mr Horriat for my surgery.
- Other than one member of staff, a caregiver, I cannot fault how I was treated and many thanks
- For those still undecided as to who should be your chosen surgeon, can I recommend Mr Saman Horriat, who was the surgeon charged with my half knee replacement. His quiet and polite demeanour, when explaining what your surgery will involve, in my experience, was everything that was clearly and unambiguously explained to me at our first meeting. Along with his outstanding team, having Mr Horriat on side, will take out the worry and any anxiety pre/post surgery that all us patients naturally have.
- It was a pleasure to be seen by mr Horriat,I was seen before the allocated time,and explained in great detail,about my condition and actions required at a later date.The follow up consultation,equally as good,and I felt reassured,that I was in good hands.
- I found Mr Horriat to be professional and sympathetic. He clearly understood the issues and was clear in the pros and cons of a total hip replacement. He also made clear the probable wait time. All in all a very good experience.
- I was very well looked after at the Chaucer hospital. Mr Horriat spent time with me both before and after the surgery, explaining everything very clearly and answering all my questions. The surgery went extremely well, and I had a very useful follow up consultation with Mr H.
- Clearly an expert in his field Mr. Horriat listened to my symptoms and gave me the best advice. I felt very reassured Thank you.
- Mr Horriat replaced my left hip about 7 weeks ago. The operation went very well and the post operative after care and treatment that I received at the Chaucer Hospital was very good. I can now walk on level surfaces without the need for a crutch or any other aid.
- I am writing on behalf of my Aunt Barbara Russ who had a hip replacement op assessed, treated and operated on by Mr Horriat. From the onset, Mr Horriat was so friendly and explained everything in easy to understand manner.
