Mr Christopher Buckle

Friendly professional and encouraging

Mr Buckle was most assuring how I was getting on with my recovery.

Yes don’t be afraid to speak to private Doctors . I suffered with chronic pain for 6 months under the national health . They don’t have the doctors or money to spend on so many people . I lost weight though pain and I changes from a happy lady to just feeling like giving up. I went on line to speak to a doc and I was given a phone no . With in 2 days I had a scan on a Sunday . Knew why my pain was so bad . A few days later I saw a lovely doc at the hospital and he knew straight away what to do He drained loads of liquid off my knee and what a wonderful relief . Then 2 injections which is helping all ready . Price wise it’s very good . Very affordable . I know will always go in that direction . Thank you for giving my happiness back.

Partial knee replacement went well. Couldn’t fault any of the care I’d received while at Fordcombe. Very pleased with both surgeon and anaesthetist as I walked out of the hospital, on the same day as the surgery, on crutches, faster than I’d walked in that morning and felt fine. Considering the surgery had minimal pain, no problems and glued scar was very tidy. Support from “hands on” physio has been invaluable and at 6 weeks post op life has returned to normal. Would definitely recommend.

Mr Buckle was pleasant, a good listener and very honest when discussing my options. His letter summarising the discussion arrived the following day (this is very quick and efficient in my experience) and was an accurate summary. His secretary Emily Millard is one of the most efficient medical secretaries I’ve encountered.

As always very attentive and answers all my questions clearly so that I understand. Puts you at ease and doesn't rush you. He's also an excellent surgeon having been under his care twice now and hopefully a third time later this year I would thoroughly recommend him.

Mr Buckle gave me down to earth advice in initial consultation which helped me make an informed decision about my procedure. His visit pre and post op was welcome and my surgery went to plan without complications. I put a lot of faith in his abilities and would be confident in recommending him to others. Great job!

I am grateful for my care, treatment and overall experience. Everything was perfect .

I felt he listened and had a sense of humour. Very approachable and willing to answer silly questions. I felt I was in good hands. I particularly like the fact he used glue instead of clips for the wound closure

Mr Buckle. Oh, good news, very helpful. And very thorough
