After my skiing injury, some people told me “the surgery would be worse than the injury”. Nothing could be further from the truth. I was very well looked after by Mr Gleeson and the team at Nuffield Cheltenham and have recovered very quickly. The post op physio (Laura) has also been superb and very encouraging. I was also a little concerned having surgery during the Covid pandemic, but I didn’t need to worry. The whole experience was very professional and reassuring throughout. I would recommend it to anyone in a similar

I cannot Thankyou enough I have been treated with the upmost respect and care throughout my two knee operations. It was explained to me thouroughly and my questions answered. I do believe I wouldn’t have been as good as I am without the care I was given during and after the operations. I recieved help straight away when I had a problem after my operation and everything was sorted out immediately. The physio package I had for several months after my op was to me essential I would not have been able to do the things I can without it. It takes a lot of hard work but it’s so worth it. I can now walk even further than I could for years before I had both my knee’s done I would highly recommend the op to anyone who is suffering with the pain as I was. Although I am 67 I am now back working 2 days a week.
