In the space of 18 months I've gone from having limited and painful mobility, in both knees, to one of virtual normality as far as pain free movement is concerned. Mr Elson's involvement in that process has been a game-changer for me for which I will be forever grateful.Thankyou.

David's communication, relaxed manner and verbal explanation of options and procedures are first class. The surgery was comfortable, was executed exactly as forecast and he visited on the ward post surgery to explain findings and actions. He is enthusiastic and 1st rate.
