Mr. Phillip Heaton is an absolute gentleman and an incredible surgeon. I first met Mr. Heaton in March 2018 when I was referred to him by my G.P. for constant knee pain. At my initial consultation he examined me and said that with no doubt I needed total knee replacements in both knees. He said that my right knee was the worst and recommended that we proceed with that one first. To complicate my surgery, I had Rickets when I was young (war baby) and to my amazement when he examined me he said ‘that’s no problem, we will straighten that at the same time as a my TKR, and subsequently has proven as good as his word. He is an incredible communicator and filled me with confidence explaining what needed to be done. My huge concerns of submitting myself to surgery for the first time in my life were daunting. Mr. Heaton was most reassuring and extremely professional and instilled confidence in me. Now seven weeks on I am walking without a stick, almost off medication and looking forward to resuming my hobby. My most grateful thanks must also go to Mr. Heaton’s team at Fitzwilliam hospital. They were most caring and couldn’t do enough for their patient. The nursing staff were superb, always there to look after you and help you when needed. I am now facing the prospect of again being one of Mr. Heaton’s patients for my second TKR and am doing so without fear or trepidation. Well done Sir, I raise my hat to you and say a most grateful thank you!
