Reviews
Geoffrey Oldknow – Hip replacement, Barlborough
"It was incredible. I was so relaxed I fell asleep. I came to and said to Mr Thorwald Springer, ‘Have I missed it?’ and he smiled and said yes. I also smiled as the pain had gone."
Ann Allison – Knee replacement, Barlborough
"Can not speak too highly of all at Barlborough Treatment Centre. Thank goodness for such talented people as Mr Springer, I was in severe pain before he did my total knee replacement."
