Professor Justin Cobb maintains a professional and excellent approach with patients, exhibiting a kind, reassuring manner. He explains specific procedures, including uni-compartmental knee replacement and hip surgery, which builds patient confidence. Patients often praise his skill, noting positive surgical outcomes and excellent aftercare. A key focus of his work involves hip procedures and partial knee replacements.
This was my second surgery performed by Prof. Cobb, the first at King Edward VII's hospital He is an outstanding consultant giving precise information on uni-compartmental knee replacement and proceeding with the procedure in a most professional manner. I am delighted with the result of the operation performed on 11th December and came to see him on the sixth week post operation. I would highly recommend Prof. Cobb for partial knee replacement when the knee damage is limited to just one area of the knee for which he is an expert. He is supported by good colleagues and anaesthetists. I am extremely grateful to him and his team.
He listened well and then explained well the diagnosis and treatment.
