Mr Poole undertook my total hip replacement in April 2026 and from start to finish the experience has been incredible. At the initial consultation he clearly explained my hip problem and options, and gave me lots of opportunities to ask questions and allay fears. The same happened on the day pre-op. The support staff were also excellent, explaining clearly what would happen when, and what to expect. The operation itself went very well and pain was well controlled. I came home after 24 hours on 2 crutches, dropped to one crutch at day 8 and no crutches at day 23. My 6 week review with Mr Poole went very well, with re-assurance about some lingering stiffness and encouragement to really start pushing on with exercise and stretching. Now, 8 weeks post op, my wound is very well healed and I just have some residual but lessening muscle stiffness. My longest hike has been 10 miles with 300m ascent. My hip was not a limiting factor on that walk, and I know I can go much further. I am also returning to cycling now. I would not hesitate in recommending Mr Poole. He has great bedside manner and is obviously a great surgeon. Thankyou!

It was a pleasure to meet Will Poole recently when we discussed my hip operation (Thursday March 6th 2026) and am more than happy to say the procedure was most successful, and am now able to tie laces and put on shoes and have a straight back when supine. Appreciate it will take time to be completely back to normal but was reassured by the positive attitude of Will.

Mr Poole makes you feel very comfortable from the onset, explains the process in layman's terms and gives you the time you need to ask any questions. This was my 2nd hip replacement and knew what to expect, but the method he used meant i recovered mobility far quicker than the last one.. If i had anymore hips left to replace, i would definately choose Will to do it again.
