Mr Longstaff replaced my knee 6 weeks ago and I could not be more pleased with how things are going. He saw me very quickly when I sought an appointment, the date was set for surgery and everything was done as it was explained to me. He is a great communicator and a warm and caring doctor. He works with excellent operating theatre and inpatient nursing team and the post op physio support has been very supportive. I feel fortunate to have had the benefit off his skilled care.

Mr Longstaff put me at ease throughout my clinic appointments, the operation and post operation. He listened to my concerns and acted appropriately to allay my fears. He was confident during the actual procedure, having had an epidural, which reassured me. He has made himself readily available if I have any issues going forward.

Seen by Mr Longstaff who provided me with a full knee replacement on 27 November 2021.
From initial consultation, to pre-op interviews and operation, the surgeon was excellent in every possible way. Aftercare has been wonderful with total backup from ward staff to physio's.
Mr Longstaff was there and accessible and every stage of the procedure. I can not speak more highly of the attention that I have received and that of the Spire Hospital in Washington, Tyne & Wear where the operation took place.

Mr Longstaff is not only the best healthcare professional that I have ever had the pleasure of been treated by, but he's also one of the nicest and most empathetic human beings I have ever met. He’s a true professional and a very skilled surgeon who I’d recommended to anyone that was thinking about having a Knee or hip replaced. From our first meeting way back several years ago to the last meeting we had only a couple of days ago he’s always very kind when he meets and greets you and whether its your pre op or your post op assessments he’s unwavering in the quest of making you feel very special.
