Mr Stephen Tai

Written by a private patient at Pinehill Hospital

The service recieved from Mr. Tai, Left knee replacement, was very professional. His knowledge and easy manner was very comforting. He listened to the small concerns I had and assured me that all would be well. This is the second time that Mr Tai has operated on me, the last time being my Right Knee some 3 years ago. The service I received then was equally as good and there has been no deterioration in the service received. I would highly recommend Mr Tai and the services of Pinehill Hospital.

I had a hip xray on the NHS, only to find I was then put on a 12 week wait list for physio without any date for seeing a consultant. My pain had come on quite quickly, therefore I arranged an appt with Mr. Tai, my sister in law had seen him previously so I knew who I wanted to see. It was confirmed at the appt that I needed a replacement hip and that physio would not help the situation at all. I went away to think about it for a day and sort finances. Then contacted Mr. Tai's secretary and a date was booked. On the day of the op at Pinehill, once I had arrived, it was going through forms and checking personal details etc. Mr. Tai came in to see me at one stage to check I knew what procedure I was having and to sign the consent form; I have to admit I felt he was a bit rushed and I felt that time could have been spent making me feel a little easier but I got the impression there had been an incident in clinic that morning. The whole team and especially the Anaesthetist were brilliant. I was well looked after during my stay. I have had my follow up appt with Mr. Tai and he was lovely. I still go to physiotherapy. I highly recommend Pinehill, Mr. Tai and the team.

After suffering pain for a few years now & only being offered steriod injections by NHS system I decided that I had to do something else. After a recommendation I contacted Ellis PA to Mr Tai & an appointment was made to see him within a few days. I did have other heath issues which could have been affected by the necessary hip replacement operation but those sorted out by referral to other consultants. After being given the OK to proceed with the surgery I eventually had my total hip replacement almost 6 weeks ago. I was apprehensive but was soon put at ease by the fantastic staff at Pinehill Hospital who made me feel as relaxed as possible. With all the support from the surgeon & nursing team I made a quick recovery & was so pleased to be walking without pain. I cannot thank Mr Tai & his team enough for such a professional service & would recommend Mr Tai to others. Thanks to everyone for their care.,

Dr Tai was amazing!! I was in a lot of pain and he got straight to the problem, diagnosed it and there and then we arranged the surgery. My entire experience at Pinehill Hospital was excellent! I couldn’t have asked for a better surgeon my scar in minimal considering the operation and I was pleasantly surprised. The after care I have and am still receiving is excellent! If I need the other hip doing in the future I will ask for Dr Tai to perform the surgery. If anyone needs surgery and it is within his field I will highly recommend him. Thank you is all I can say!!!

Well what can I say, after reading the first 3 pages of reviews. Every patient has used all the words to describe a 5 star service, from Mr Tai's fantastic team. For me I had an appointment to see him, then I received a phone call, We have a two cancellations this week which one suits you best. That was 5 weeks earlier. Mr tai explained the operation and took note of a holiday date. my operation was arranged for 4 days after my return. Again a big thank you to ALL the staff that made my procedure as painless as possible. I am now looking forward to the other hip being replaced with out any fear.
