20+ years ago, in my early 40’s, I was diagnosed with “a rotten worn out knee”. Far too early for a replacement so I limped on. It got to the point where I couldn’t finish 18 holes of golf. By chance a I met a friend who recently had a replacement. He said if you are having a replacement go to see Joel Melton. It was a perfect storm! First meeting mid January and was booked in for early February. Having had many consultations over the years I didn’t know what to expect. The sun came out! Mr Melton was a revelation. He listened, explained the pros and cons of the operation and what life could be like after the replacement. Super smooth process of pre admission, MRI and CT scans followed by a very thorough pre admission medical check. A week before the operation Mr Melton called me to ask if I had any questions or concerns. He assured me that I would be in good hands and that he had a great team who together would take good care of me. It really helped to reduce my anxiety (and fear)! Above and beyond! Nuffield Cambridge hospital provided the best care in a very comfortable environment.The staff were just amazing- every one in every department. 6 weeks after the op I have no pain, walking easily and am getting ready to play golf again very soon. If you could create the perfect profile for a surgeon- caring, considerate, good listening skills, tremendous knowledge, enthusiasm and experience you have Mr Joel Melton. Thank you so much for guiding me through this! An incredible result.
