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.

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

Martin felt very assured every time we talked. He listened to me and what I wanted and then told me all of my options and respected my choices, which I really appreciated. The surgery went very well and I haven’t had any problems since, with Martin continuing to support me through my recovery. Thanks Martin!

Mr Goddard has a very professional and diligent attitude to his work. He took great care in selecting my prosthetic knee and discussed it with me. He came to see me every day post-total knee replacement and was in regular contact with my physio during the recuperation process. He likes to work with the same anaesthetist and deliver a consistent service. Someone who knows him professionally said that he had a reputation for being ‘persnickety’ and I replied that’s what I want with a surgeon!

Listened to what I said before talking and making decisions, explained everything really clearly so I understood the possible options.

I had bilateral partial knee replacement surgery in May 2023. Mr Goddard explained the procedure, possible risks etc fully and I was confident that I would receive excellent care - which I did. My post operative care was also excellent. I feel Mr Goddard is really invested in ensuring each patient gets the treatment and after-care they need, and would be happy to recommend him to family or friends.

I saw Dr Goddard on two separate occasions in under two years. In both cases, I had an exceptional experience with a doctor who was incredibly nice, professional and respectful. He took his time to explain everything with patience and precision ensuring that I fully understood every aspect of my care. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a knowledgable and compassionate healthcare provider.

I received excellent care under Mr Goddard & felt I was in very safe hands. As my first GA, I was very nervous, but both he and Dr Waikar put me at ease by explaining the procedure in detail & answering all my questions. I would definitely recommend him if you need knee surgery!

Thank you for your excellent care and management of my knee last year. Many thanks again for your help and excellent treatment - I really appreciate that you repaired rather than resected it.
