Reviews
Mr James Gibbs recently completed a total hip replacement for me at the Nuffield, Haywards Heath. His competence, professionalism and his reassuring attitude of patient care are impressive. He responded to and treated my concerns perfectly. He is straightforward and answers questions head on in simple non medical speak. Mr Gibbs clearly leads a dedicated team of professionals who recognise their leader and set the patient’s care and return to health as a priority. I have not the slightest hesitation in recommending Mr Gibbs.
I have had a knee replacement that went very well was up walking the next day and whilst there was pain in the first couple of days it was well managed and I was quickly on the road to recovery. I feel I have recovered much quicker with this knee than when I had the other knee done I would definitely recommend Mr. Gibbs.
Understanding engaged excellent
The procedure went extremely well with a perfect outcome
I was looked after extremely well from start to finish by Mr Gibbs I would strongly recommend him
Mr Gibbs replaced my right hip in early February. It was bone on bone and so painful. Even sleeping became a struggle. Everything was explained fully.and two hours after the operation I was walking around my room. Only discomfort came from the wound itself which was sore for a few days no pain from the hip at all. After two days at home I could walk around without crutches. Two weeks later I could walk for a good twenty minutes which has built steadily up. Driving was no problem after five weeks. In fact I don’t think about the replacement at all. This operation has changed my life all thanks to Mr Gibbs.
This was the second hip replacement carried out on me by Mr. Gibbs. I specifically requested Mr. Gibbs based on my positive experience during and after the first operation approximately four years ago. I was not disappointed and indeed I have been surprised at how well recovery has progressed, indeed faster than the first time despite being four years older. Aside from Mr. Gibbs undoubted expertise, I found him helpful and willing to take the time to answer my questions or doubts. If I had a third hip, I would have absolutely no hesitation in trying to obtain the services of this surgeon again.
