Can’t sing Mr Thompson’s praises enough. Super efficient, kind and personable and above all felt like we were in expert hands. We have followed instructions to a ‘T’, worked really hard on physio and my son is back training and now competing well within 6 months post op.

I would highly recommend Simon Thompson & am grateful to my GP for referring me to him. He has an excellent manner, explains the diagnostics & operating procedure clearly & instils confidence. He operated on a complex tear of the meniscus & the outcome has been excellent.
