Mr. Longstaff performed a Total Knee Replacement on my left knee on 02 February 2022 which was a total success. I was back at work within 8 weeks. This gave me a new lease of life for a while until it was time to replace my right knee. This was replaced on 30 Mar 2024 and again a great success. I had a follow up with the Physio and Mr. Longstaff on 01 May 2024 and I am about 2-3 months ahead of schedule with my recovery. I could not thank Mr. Longstaff and his team enough. Very professional and friendly. Thank you again for everything.

Mr Longstaff has recently replaced both of my hips. It’s 8 weeks since the second operation and all has gone well. Arthritis in my hips had really restricted my life, the pain and stiffness had severely impacted my mobility. Thanks to Mr Longstaff I feel that I have got my life back! I am very grateful for his skill and care.

Mr. Lee Longstaff has given me, "a new lease of life" -his words not mine-. At least that will be the case once all the healing has taken place. I had my total knee replacement only 8 weeks ago and have been reassured in a follow-up consultation with the man himself that all is well. For 22 years I have lived with an unstable knee joint. I was left believing that that was how it was to be. Then a doctor told me he had A FRIEND with a computer and a robot. That friend was Mr. Lee Longstaff. A skilled professional, Mr. Longstaff was direct and honest in his discussions with me as he LISTENED AND TALKED with me about my situation. He was thorough in his evidence gathering and investigations. This involved seeing another orthopaedic surgeon for a second opinion and a consultation for me with a plastic surgeon. That done, he laid out clearly how WE might proceed by trying the least invasive approach first and seeing what happened. He was not able to give a percentage outcomes guarantee. I appreciated his honesty. I was made to feel part of the decision making process in this life changing event for me. I am deeply grateful to Mr. Longstaff and the skilled team he assembled for my benefit.

3months post op from my 2nd hip replacement by Mr Longstaff, I am very happy with the excellent outcomes and have no hesitation in recommending him. He gave me confidence and reassured me throughout the consultations and operations and is on hand if anything is needed afterwards.
