Patient reviews

I had the pleasure of having my first partial knee replacement performed my Mr Miller on Wednesday. A very positive experience. I am due to have second one done as soon as is possible. I was a little anxious about the op but have no qualms about having the next one done. Everyone was brilliant, and I mean, everyone. I was taken care of, fed well and given great advice. I know I am only a couple of days post op but I am able to move about far easier than expected. Thank you for the experience.

10 stars. Arrived 1st October, terrified, had left knee replacement on the 2nd. Courtesy of Mr Roman Miller & his amazing team. I was the “drama queen!” In room no4. Today a week later, I’ve made my own breakfast, coffee’s and carried them, had a shower, dressed by myself, tidied up a bit and I’ve put the washing on. Can’t thank you all enough, even miss some of you. Don’t know why you all made such a fuss. Swelling and bruising going down already. I apologise as I can’t remember all your names but I want to thank you all for caring enough to listen to me and make time for me, great team you have there. Julie xxxxx

I very recently had a total left hip replacement and have previously had my right hip replaced here too. The care is second to none and there is an air of calm, friendly, warm efficiency within the hospital. I feel extremely fortunate to have had access to this hospital, to Mr Wudecki and his Team and to the wonderful, caring nursing and physio team. The process from the very beginning to the end was highly professional. My sincere thanks to you all.

I had a left total knee replacement on 10/07/24 patient would like to thank everyone involved in the surgery. Everyone was amazing, the attention and care given was outstanding. From reception onwards, I would like to thank the surgeon Waqar Jan and the nurses on the ward. Nothing was too much trouble for them, they’re a credit to the hospital.

I had a left total knee replacement on 06/03/24 and would like to express my gratitude to the wonderful surgeon Waqar Jan and his amazing team after having my knee replacement. I am delighted with the results, the care I received was first class from everyone. Thank you to everyone

I had a right hip replacement on 21/05/24 and would like to say thank you to my consultant Waqar Jan and all the staff surgical nursing and administration 8 weeks on. I was less daunted having the surgery with all the information that was given and the physio exercise programme. To have an emergency contact number was reassuring. I’m continuing with my recovery & my confidence is building every day, I really appreciate having improved mobility, no pain & a fully functioning hip.

I had a left total knee replacement on 15/04/24 and would like to say thank you for the treatment I received at your lovely hospital. I had been unable to walk without crutches for 14 months, I’m now pain free. My surgeon, Waqar Jan, & the team have given me my life back. I was able to walk my daughter down the aisle at her wedding 4 1/2 weeks after the operation and would like to thank everyone for making this a reality. I’d also like to thank the nurses & staff on the ward who were brilliant, nothing was too much trouble.

I had a left total knee replacement on 03rd May 2024. I would like to thank the surgeon, Waqar Jan, and all the staff at the hospital who have been so kind. I was impressed with everything at the hospital. I would like to thank especially the SP team for their lovely card & Lavender seeds. My goal is to make my sisters 90th Birthday in Surrey which I’m really looking forward to with the help of physio and doing my exercises.

I had a knee replacement. What can I say about the people that work there. They were all brilliant, nothing was to much trouble, from the catering staff to Mr Brown the surgeon. I would recommend to have your surgery here. It’s more like being at home then in hospital.

The absolute best. I was happy to have Mr James Brown perform an ankle fusion on me for the second time and it was all so kind, professional and caring. I’ve had surgeries in California and North Carolina in the past and nothing touches the genuine care and can do professionalism of Mr Brown and his team.

Thank you to the team in the overnight ward. Lovely people and so attentive.

Than you all for taking care of me. David Saunders

Had TKR in April. Am now in week 7 and everything seems to be going really well. I saw Mr James Brown this week and he said he was happy with the way it’s going. The whole experience has been great from the pre op assessment, the in patient experience and the follow up. The information was thorough, professional and relaxed. Everyone involved made me feel safe and well looked after. I couldn’t rate them higher. Thank you everyone.

Absolutely brilliant experience for my wife who recently underwent knee replacement surgery. From diagnosis to surgery and nursing care, the staff have been exceptional throughout

Just had a right knee replacement. The nurses are amazing. 20 out of 10. Everyone very helpful, patient and kind!

Had a knee replacement and can’t praise this place enough. Was made to feel welcome from the time I entered to the time I left. Nurses and surgeons were brilliant would certainly recommend.

Having a recent full knee replacement, I found the facilities, quality of care and staff exceptional. They all made you feel welcome and the treatment was more than I could wish for. Even down to the staff who made you feel at home. My anxieties were soon passing. The hygiene was excellent and the food, well I may have put on a little. All very fresh and too tasty for me to refuse. I’m so glad I came here and not Nuffield or Derriford. Even had a follow up call once home to check I was OK. Excellent.

Just returned home from a full knee replacement surgery done by consultant Tomasz Wudeki and his surgical team, who were all wonderful people. I would also like to thank all the other care staff, every single person that I came across were very kind and friendly, they obviously love their job. I can’t find the words to describe how grateful I am to every person at practice plus

My Brother, Andrew has just had a left hip replacement. From start through to the discharge I have to say has been excellent. Such a calm atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff, it makes a huge difference at a very stressful time. Our grateful thanks to everyone.

Thank you all so much for your kindness and efficiency, caring for me with my recent operation for gall bladder removal, I and my family so appreciate your hard work!

Dear Mr Brown, it is almost a year since you performed surgery on my second foot. The first operation being four years prior. I just wanted to write to say a huge thank you to you and all your wonderful team. Surgery has been completely transformative. My life returned to a much healthier lifestyle, long walks, gardening without pain and so much more fun! Thank you so much.

Thanks for performing total knee replacement on me. Due to your excellent skills I am improving daily and leading an active life once again!

Thank you very much for my TWO successful hip operations at long last I am out of pain and recovering well. Many thanks to you and all your staff. Best wishes.

Thank you for taking such good care of me on 23rd November and putting me at ease.

Big shout out to Practice Plus Group Plymouth who went above and beyond to make my day case visit today as comfortable as possible, from the day case nurses to all the theatre staff. Special mention to Carly, Cathy, Amy and Elaine(?) nothing was too much trouble!

Tremendous skill, diligence and care at this hospital. They deserve their reputation as one of the best facilities in the UK for hip and knee replacements.

I had the best experience ever for my hip replacement. Would highly recommend, thank you to all the staff involved throughout

I had 2 cataract operations by the same surgeon and she was excellent! Both eyes are now perfect and operations went without a hitch! Aftercare was superb!

Very polite and helpful staff at all levels. Friendly consultant who explained everything clearly. Extremely efficient x-ray department and choice of treatments.
