I presented with hip problems pre-covid. Unfortunately covid meant that I couldn't be assessed. As a result I had significant deterioration in both hips by the time I went on the waiting list for surgery. I ended up waiting 2 years before I could have my first operation and faced many cancellations. I finally had both hips replaced in April and September 2022, by which time the operations were complex. At every appointment I attended Mr Marley was caring, positive and informative. He explained exactly what the problem was with my hips, what type of surgery was required, the likely recuperation required and the final outcome. He listened (very patiently!) and addressed my concerns. He was very kind when I was clearly struggling emotionally because of the issues with the length of my wait and the cancellations. Once I was admitted to hospital, again Mr Marley explained everything clearly. The operation went very well and, despite a difficult recuperation due to nature of my operations, I had no issues with infections, stitches or anything else relating to the surgery. My scars are hardly noticeable. Mr Marley explained the steps involved in my recuperation and why, so that I could understand why he was asking me to do what he wanted. Mr Marley always treated me like an individual, his decision making is clearly people centered and he made me feel that he genuinely cared. Having just attended the clinic 8 months after my second surgery - walking and fit - Mr Marley was genuinely as delighted to see the change in me as I am to be fit and healthy again. I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have my life back, thanks to exceptional surgery by an exceptional caring surgeon.
