Reviews
I had a successful gold knee replacement surgery and my recovery has been progressing smoothly due to MSK Doctors. They managed to get me into surgery swiftly and took great care of me afterwards. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who needs knee surgery.
I had my gold knee surgery a little over a month ago now and it has been a resounding success. MSK Doctors were quick, efficient, and very gentle. My recovery has been progressing well and I am now able to walk short distances without too much pain. I highly recommend MSK Doctors to anyone needing knee surgery.
I consulted Prof. Lee after undergoing 5 knee surgeries on the same knee because I was still experiencing excruciating knee pain. When I complained of the discomfort to several medical professionals, they either wanted to remove more of my meniscus or told me there was nothing they could do. Later Prof Lee told me that I needed an ACL reconstruction using a quad graft and a meniscus and cartilage transplant. He performed my surgery and I can happily say till today I have never experienced such pain in my knee.
After I was diagnosed with a meniscus root tear in my left knee, I consider myself lucky that I found Prof. Lee. Being a keen hiker, equestrian, and gym goer, I really needed help to get back to my former condition. Now 5 months after my meniscus surgery, I can walk perfectly like before. I would recommend him to anyone I know who has knee problems.
I had consulted several doctors before, but nobody could address the reason for my knee pain, some said its due to aging, and some indicated my arthritis. After that, I finally came across Prof Lee at London Cartilage Clinic where he showed me on the MRI scan that I had a meniscus tear. He treated it right away, easing my pain. I'm very grateful to him.
