From day one, walking into Mr. Goddard’s office, I knew I was in good hands of a top surgeon. He tailored a plan for my knee recovery which worked 100%. I appreciated his directness, his experience. He is a great communicator. His office staff provides him with excellent support.

I have had two knee replacements from Mr Goddard, both his pre and post care was excellent, and he was a diligent and careful surgeon.

Mr Goddard is friendly, courteous, professional and an expert in his field. The recovery from my arthroscopy was much quicker than expected, and 8 weeks on, my knee is much stronger and pain-free. I'll probably be back in a few years with my other knee!

Mr Goddard was fantastic and took a great deal of care in his examination. He gives the impression that he is always looking for the best possible outcome for his patients.

I went to see Mr Goddard after a ski accident in which I injured my knee (ruptured ACL and badly sprained MCL). Mr Goddard was very professional and competent throughout. He had a very precise recovery program that allowed me to get me back to all my previous sporting activities (I still have to test skiing next season) without having an operation. I couldn't be happier with the result and would highly recommend him.

Mr Goddard listened and explained everything with great care and consideration and in terms I would understand. If I didn’t understand he again listened and explained it again

Excellent experience. Communicates really clearly, answers all questions, clearly cares about what he does and doing a good job. This was a far cry from he first doctor I saw and gave me so much confidence going in to this operation. Can’t fault him.

I was referred to Martin Goddard from my physio who provided the basic details of my injury. He was very thorough with his examination of me asking many further searching qustions about my background. After referring me to have an MRI and also a podiatrist, he scoped out potential surgical procedures but encouraged more physio before that. The podiatrist referral paid off as the result was a much improved gait. Martin has a direct and cheerful manner inspiring confidence. I wouldn't hesitate in seeing him again in the future!

I had a great experience with Dr Goddard. He carried out a successful ACL reconstruction. He was clear in explanations of what he was going to do and why. He was very thorough in the rehab process and I felt in safe hands from my first consultation until my last.

Mr. Goddard was very knowledgeable and made sure to explain everything in details so I fully understand my condition and future treatment.

I met with a number of health care professionals given the complexity of my injury, and Mr Goddard was the reason I had the least invasive and most positive treatment. I felt him to be thoroughly knowledgable in a way the other doctors weren’t, and he was more interested in my care than he was in pushing a surgery on me. I would be in a different place without him!

Mr Goddard has been incredibly attentive and thorough throughout his diagnoses and treatment of various knee related injuries I have presented to him over the last 3 and a half years. As he continues to treat me with great patience and care, his ability to make me feel like I am truly involved in every step of the diagnosis and treatment process helps me feel secure and confident in the decisions being made around my injuries.

Mr Goddard explained everything very clearly -the benefits and risks of the operation and what would happen which made it much less stressful. He also made every effort to do the operation at a time that was best for me which made a big difference to my life over the next year
