Mr Gibbs was recommended to me both by neighbours, who had been in his care and by my GP. I found the first consultation with him very reassuring. He listened to my account of the hip pain I experienced, checked the mobility and level of pain I showed on movement. He was kind and sympathetic throughout. He explained the operation procedures clearly and answered the questions I had. I was admitted in 6 weeks for a hip replacement. Having a spinal anaesthetic rather than a general was a good experience and meant a much more pleasant and quicker recovery after the operation. Mr Gibbs looked in on me to check progress over the weekend and I felt well looked after even though he was probably off duty. I was very well cared for by all the nurses and was home in 3 days. Three weeks later I had a final check up with him. All was well healed. I was amazed to be up and walking so quickly. After only 3 weeks I didn’t need pain killers or crutches and was walking around freely. After months of hip pain it was marvellous and I am so grateful for Mr Gibbs’s skill and care and kind manner.
