I had my right hip replaced on the 21st April 2021(sorry I have taken so long to write a review, life has taken over!) as covid cases were coming down and I felt I could no longer live with the constant pain, lack of sleep and limits on my life that my hip was imposing.
Through an internet search and careful research, I was in a privileged position to be able to choose my surgeon. Mr Lewis really stood out as a talented, caring surgeon in whom I could place my trust and I certainly was not proved wrong.
After a long telephone conversation with Mr Lewis where the operation was fully explained; questions were answered and much information was then emailed through for me to digest; I was left with a very positive mindset, so my operation was booked.
My care and treatment at Goring Hall hospital were second to none and I thank everyone there for making my short stay so comfortable. The operation went smoothly and the very next day I felt I already had confidence in my new hip as I was put through my paces by the physio. Thus it was time for the home to continue my recovery.
At home, following all the advice, I recovered well. The wound site healed beautifully and my mobility slowly improved. The two follow up phone calls with Mr Lewis again gave me confidence. Just under 7 weeks later I was back to work in school. The ten-week post-op was a real milestone for me when I was able to sleep peacefully again. It was heaven. Now at 3 months plus I am out enjoying country rambles with my dog and friends with no pain in my right leg... it's wonderful.
I cannot thank Mr Lewis and the team at Goring Hall enough and I do feel privileged to have been under their professional care. Such a skilled surgeon with so much attention to detail.
