Mr Henry Atkinson

Written by a patient at Hendon Hospital - part of Circle Health Group

Henry is the most superb surgeon I have met. HIs professionalism, kindness, care and understanding are second to none. He listens to you as a patient, understands what your needs are and is prepared to go the extra mile to get things right. Nothing is too much trouble for him, he is flexible in how and when he can see you and responds really quickly when things are not right. He has a great sense of humour and it is testimony to home that all the nursing staff absolute rate him very very highly. Henry is honest with you as a patient so you know exactly where you stand and what to expect. He was recommended to me and I view him as a very precious gem in my life who has got me pain free and given me the ability to resume the high level of activity I was used to and maintain my career as a PE Teacher. His dedication to his job and the NHS is remarkable and inspiring and the NHS is made great just because of Henry. I consider him a lifelong friend.

I had both knee replacements at Highgate Private hospital through Mr. Henry Atkinson in April & August 2018. I found him to be very professional and caring throughout my treatment. I am very grateful to him and his team for the satisfacory outcome of my operations as well as the way the Mr. Atkinson demonstrated care and interest in my recovery. Infact my family members were impressed by his sociability when they saw him at the night of operation visits. He is obviously well qualified and knowledgeable with a pleasant engaging personality. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone looking for knee treatment/operatin.

Mr Atkinson treated me for two successive hip replacements in August 2017 & August 2018. I found Mr Atkinson’s manner very pleasant, kind, caring and supportive. I have a great respect for this kind mild mannered doctor, I instantly felt comfortable and felt a great sense of trust in his abilities. He explained every step very clearly, and was always happy to answer any number of questions. Both operations were a great success. He is a consumate professional with great humility, you are never believed to feel you are just another patience on a conveyer belt. I have no hesitation in recommending this great doctor. Mrs P. Ibrahim

I first met Henry after hurting my ankle in a football game. He was quick to diagnose my injury and sent me for scans to make sure I didn't need any surgical intervention (Thankfully I didn't!). It was at this visit however that Henry noticed an issue with my ACL that I had previous ruptured and discovered I had re-reputured it - quite a devastating prognosis for someone who is a keen sportsmen. Having already had a hamstring graft and as a sufferer of patellar tendonitis, Henry was extremely supportive in helping me to get approval for an allograft, in the hope it would help me get back to football after rehab. During the operation, It was also discovered I had damaged my cartilage, so Henry tried micro-fracturing as a means to help protect my knee as time goes on. Throughout my recovery, Henry made sure I had access to great physios and after 18 months of rehab, my knee finally started to show positive signs from the Micro-fracturing and the ACL graft has served it's purpose of stabilising the knee. It certainly won't ever be what it was, but to kick a ball again after a long time out was a fantastic feeling and i fully appreciate Henry's help and support in making that happen. He is a gentleman and someone who really cares about his patients - so I couldn't recommend him highly enough for your ankle and knee problems! Sam

My 13 year old son really liked Dr Atkinson. He felt like he was treated with care and compassion and appreciated the careful and thoughtful explanations he received. We all wish we either lived in London again or Dr Atkinson practiced in Florida! My son truly understands his injury and how to get himself healthy again thanks to you. We are eternally grateful.
