Knee replacement surgery, Barlborough – amazing first class service

Amazing first class service from all the team at Barlborough hospital. I had Total Knee Replacement on my left knee last February (2017) and can’t thank everyone enough and now awaiting appointment date to have Total Knee Replacement on my right knee. Mr Springer was and is the surgeon to do both my knees and is brilliant.

Knee replacement surgery, Barlborough – I’ve got my life back

It’s been just over a year since I had a total knee replacement at the Barlborough centre. Mr Springer was my surgeon, what a difference it’s made to my life. I actually feel I’ve got my life back. Can highly recommend Barlborough centre for professional care with added TLC.

Hip replacement surgery, Barlborough – I was so relaxed I fell asleep

It was incredible. I was given a course of tablets on the ward and then I was on the operating table. I was so relaxed I fell asleep. I came to and said to my surgeon, Mr Thorwald Springer, ‘Have I missed it?’ and he smiled and said yes. I also smiled as the pain had gone.

Our locations

We have 10 hospitals and surgical centres across the UK, offering various treatments and procedures.

Whether you’re an NHS-funded patient, paying for yourself or using private medical insurance, with our short waiting times, unrivalled Care Quality Commission (CQC) ratings and high levels of cleanliness and infection control, we’ll make sure you’re looked after. In fact, we were the first provider to have all services rated ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’ by the CQC.

By focusing on a select range of specialities, we concentrate our efforts on being the best provider of the procedures we offer. Our hospitals are centres of excellence, with consultants regularly performing extremely high volumes of the surgery they specialise in and achieving outstanding results.

As a group of specialist hospitals we only provide scheduled surgery, which means patients can feel confident that their procedure will happen as planned, without sudden cancellation because of competing priorities.
