Mr Bird’s care meant I could make a full recovery from a knee injury. Very pleased and would not hesitate in seeing him again or recommending
Jonathan was exceptional throughout. I had ACL surgery and would highly recommend. His care and thorough explanation was outstanding. I am on the road to recovery so a big thanks to Jonathan and his team.
My follow up 2 weeks post surgery. Quick. On time. Explanatory. Couldn’t ask for anything else. Jonathan is an amazing surgeon not just because he is one of the best but also for his calmness and reassuring nature. This was my fourth knee surgery, the second by Jonathan. This time a complex ACL revision. I would highly recommend Jonathan to anyone in need of an orthopaedic specialist. Thank you, Jonathan.
Mr Bird was exceptional throughout. Some really great advice. I thought I would never make a full recovery and now after seeing Mr Bird I have no doubt with perseverance, I will be back to living a normal life again. 5 stars to his PA who has been very helpful with booking all appointments and scans at a lightening pace.
Dr Bird was awesome throughout from helping me to understand the injury and need for surgery, being supportive on the day of the surgery and then overseeing my recovering to enable me to return to full training at the appropriate time.
Very professional and helpful throughout. Highly recommend
