- My teenage son is seeing Mr Crompton for a broken femur, and the service and care we have received so far has been excellent. Mr Crompton's office are super-responsive, helpful and kind. Mr Crompton's advice has been brilliant and perfectly pitched for my teenage son who is worried about his surgery and desperate to get back to sport. Mr Crompton really understands how to communicate with young people (as well as parents) which we feel is absolutely critical.
- Dr Crompton was fantastic with our son. He was scared, he was reassured, looked after so well and Dr Crompton was there to reassure him and available. The surgery went well and the guidance and reassurance was fantastic. The huge thing is our son is no longer scared of surgery. The team were great
- Excellent from start to finish
- Dr Thomas Crompton did a fantastic job on our daughters hip dysplasia. We couldn't be happier with the results. We know as parents it’s the hardest decision to make for a child to undergo surgery at such a young age, but just feel relieved to know you are in amazing hands!
- We went to see Mr Crompton for his expertise in a fairly rare disease. He's great with my son, and takes a really holistic and pragmatic approach to managing the disease. He considered latest research, and my son's latest well being. It was immensely reassuring seeing him
- The information and support we received from the staff was very good, the main challenge was the waiting areas as we were waiting around 45-60minutes in total which was challenging with a 1year old who wasn't really interested in the wall toys provided.
- Excellent patient care and attentiveness
- Brilliant, friendly and caring doctor.
- Great service, really explained what was going on, would recommend
- Perfect
