My experience was very good and professional. The diagnosis was straight to the point and was very clear on what had happened. The surgery seemed like it was done very well and my knee has recovered very well so far.

Mr Wilson but myself at ease right from the start as I had worries about getting knocked out for the procedure. He organised an epidural so that I could have the procedure done. I was in no pain whatsoever and even after having both knees operated on I was back on my feet within 48 hours. I have had no reaction and back running again after 4 weeks! Amazing results
