Simon completed an ACL reconstruction 1 year ago. Visiting Simon is a pleasure as he is always friendly and welcoming. The operation was a complete success and my knee is stronger than ever. He was very clear in explaining the procedure and what would happen after the operation.

Within sixteen weeks I have undergone ACL reconstruction and Meniscal repair on my both knees. No painkillers required. Not even Paracetamol. Have been walking my Labrador without crutches just as I got out of the hospital. The “scars” would make a top Plastic Surgeon envious! Forget the stereotypical Aloof, Grumpy, Good with the Knife Poor Communicator Surgeon. Dr Thompson is anything but a stereotype. He might surprise you with his lack of greed, generosity, raw honesty, unreal sense of humour and laser beam like insight into your body and mind. Maybe even into your soul, if you are being dishonest with your narratives! Be prepared to be scanned by a Human MRI. In fact, he noticed the problem with the knee I did not know it was damaged, way before the MRI. If you need a Knee Surgeon, Dr Simon Thompson is the ONE. Possibly the One and Only. The outcomes of his surgeries are quite simply out of this world. Also, his choices of Admin, Hospital (my surgeries were done at the Lister Hospital) and Physio teams are truly amazing. Just like the Surgeon himself. Thank you ALL for TWO impeccable experiences!

I suffered a multi-ligament knee injury and was self-pay. Mr. Thompson identified that injury could be monitored without non-surgical intervention. He placed me in a knee locking brace and continued to monitor my progress. Now, 3 months later I’m doing physio instead of surgery.

I went to see Mr Thompson as a second opinion having been told I needed my knee replaced at the age 40. Mr. Thompson’s second opinion saved me from having massive surgery and through a rehab program with his physiotherapist I’m on the road to recovery. Mr. Thompson and his team are fantastic.
