Whole hospital experience excellent. Pre op everything explained clearly Mr Atkinson puts one at ease and two months later I feel confident that I will be able to return to enjoying walks without pain
I am a very active 51 year old man and Mr Atkinson fixed my medial meniscus tear which had been obstructing movement in my leg. After 8 weeks I am back swimming, practicing Yoga 5 times a week (all poses including deep squats and child pose) and I also started kick boxing again. I will be training jiu jitsu again in a week's time. I also climbed the stairs at Highgate tube station this week - all 100 of them - without any pain or locking. I had a very good experience with Mr Atkinson. From initial to final consultation I was very happy with the care given to me. In fact my girlfriend who is also a doctor was very impressed by Mr Atkinson's knowledge on a variety of questions she asked. He was very accommodating of her as well allowing her to talk to him on the phone and with me in my final consultation. I want to thank Mr Atkinson for putting me forward for this care, without this I would be struggling with my physical activities and now I have a new lease of life. Thank you so much.
I was treated by Mr Atkinson for a full knee replacement. He was clear and professional and gave excellent pre and post-op tips and advice. The knee has progressed very well thanks to his care.
Three years ago I was in severe pain due to arthritis. I could hardly walk. I consulted Mr Henry Atkinson who saw me through 5 operations including two knee replacements and corrective feet and toe surgeries. His energy and enthusiasm added to an overall excellent experience. I would recommend him unreservedly.
Attended Cavell Hospital for a knee arthroscopy. I cannot fault the experience- from the pre assessment call & appt/ welcome at 7am /the superb nurses. Mr Atkinson my consultant once again (2nd knee op) was uber professional , explaining fully to me pre- op the procedure & importantly post op where he explained the surgery undertaken in full & how it went. I cannot recommend Dr Atkinson highly enough.
I recently had knee replacement surgery and can honestly say my experience with Mr Henry Atkinson was exceptional. The kindness and empathy he showed throughout my treatment made the whole experience much less daunting. It has given me a new lease of life and I am truly grateful.
He kept me calm, informed and I had great confidence in his skill. Everything went to plan & two months on, I am in great shape and very happy with the result.
Great doctor with a positive and optisim which is infectious. Very knowledgeable and willing to help in difficult cases. Had a major tear to.quadricepts and nothing was being done. Within 2 weeks of meeting Dr Atkinson operation was scheduled and was operated successfully. Cannot recommend this doctor enough. Five stars.
Henry is a very reliable and talented surgeon and excellent bedside manner
