I am delighted with my progress as it is now only two weeks after my replacement hip operation. I only use a crutch for a little support and hope to walk without it in the next week. After hearing about 18month waits on the NHS, I was recommended Mr Gibbs by a relative who works in orthopaedics. From first meeting, I felt comfortable and confident I had made a good choice. My first consultation appointment was a month’s wait, showing how much in demand Mr Gibbs is. The meeting was for half an hour and very helpful. He examined my hip, reviewed the X-ray taken at Princess Royal Hospital, then fully explained what the operation involved, including possible problems. I was informed that the wait for surgery would be 3 months. This happened a little sooner at the end of January in Brighton Nuffield. All went smoothly with the operation. I felt I was in good hands with all staff involved, including the anaesthetist, theatre assistants, nurses and Mr Gibbs himself. All questions were answered and I was kept informed at all stages, while I was still conscious. After two nights in hospital I returned home. My mobility has improved daily. As mentioned earlier on this site, it is vitally important to regularly complete the exercise program. I would 100% recommend Mr Gibbs as an orthopaedic surgeon.
