Excellent care from all the staff

5 50 Joint Replacement Surgery • Paid: £16278

Best hospital I have ever been to!
Excellent care from all the staff.
Lovely en-suite room overlooking the forest.

Under the supervision of James Lewis, my left hip surgery went better than my expectations and his promise to me.

I am a nervous patient, but James explained everything in detail to me in the presence of both my son and daughter. I first met James on 11th February 2025, where I had an immediate X-ray showing my osteoarthritis and complete disintegration of my hip.

I had suffered years of severe pain. Life was totally intolerable for me at 66 years old.

This is my fourth major surgery in less than four years. Having endured years of pain, I had two knee replacements—four months apart—in 2024. Both were difficult, major surgeries, but both were very successful.

I also had to undergo two painful tongue biopsies for suspected lichen planus, with partial tongue removal in December 2022.

I truly sailed through this left hip surgery. I had a spinal block in my back for the procedure and woke up able to walk the next morning.

The nursing staff are unique, devoted, and so caring—the theatre staff, caterers, and physios too. I do hope I haven’t missed anyone.

I would highly recommend James Lewis and all his team at Goring Hall Hospital.

My sincere thanks to you all.

Please don’t live in pain—phone James!

Many thanks to the clinic for the expertise and care and I will continue to recommend him

4.5 50 Hip Replacement

I received my 2nd hip replacement on Nov 9, the 1st being just over 6 years before and I didn't hesitate in returning to James Lewis. Two days after the operation, I stopped using my walking stick as I felt so confident and able without it.

A retired doctor living nearby saw me on day five and said that he thought I was going to have a hip replacement, you can imagine the look on his face when I told him that I'd just had it! He said if ever he needs the operation he definitely wants my surgeon! The physiotherapist was equally impressed with the 'remarkable' progress.

Many thanks to the clinic for the expertise and care and I will continue to recommend him.

Thank you Anne. Gentleness and innovation continue to transform outcomes. There are two innovations that I have introduced re the "kindness/gentleness" of the surgery that are making a palpable difference. We are rewriting the rules on recovery experiences. I love the view of your local retired GP. Thank you for sharing your real world experience - and coming back to me for side 2. I wish you the very best for the future. James

The recovery has gone well and I am delighted

5 50 Hip Replacement

It is now just over 6 months since James Lewes replaced my right hip. The recovery has gone well and I am delighted with my "new" hip. I can do all the exercises I did prior to surgery but now without the pain. I have impressed the physiotherapists I have met and they have said my recovery is much faster than other people they have dealt with who have had hip replacements. I believe this is due to the minimally invasive technique that Mr Lewes performs. Unfortunately, I will at some point have to have my other hip replaced as I know it also has moderate osteoarthritis. However, if this is the case I would not hesitate to contact Mr Lewes again. I have been recommending him to anybody I know who needs a hip replacement. I cannot thank Mr Lewes and his team enough for their professional skills and care.

Thank you Christine - it is lovely that you have impressed the phyiotherapists- the physios see work from a wide range of surgeons - thus their opinion is valuable and unbiased. The gentleness and precision, and as one patient this week said - "a kinder experience", does make a palpable difference. Thank you for your recommendations - greatly appreciated. I'm sorry the other side is raising itself. Happy to help when the time is right, James

I can not thank him enough. All the teams involved in my treatment have been brilliant. I can now look forward to pain free walking.

Thank you! A team effort. Glad to get you out of pain and back on track, James

All pain has gone and my mobility is now excellent after only two weeks

5 50 Hip Replacement

Mr James Lewis replaced my right hip 11 years ago and my left knee a couple of years later. He has now just replaced my left hip. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Each stage of the procedure is fully explained and having been operated on in the morning I was up and walking in the afternoon and home the next day. All pain has gone and my mobility is now excellent after only two weeks. Mr Lewis follows up after the operation and is happy for you to contact him if you have any concerns. Really looking forward to long walks again!

Thank you for the high recommendation. It has been lovely looking after you. So pleased to have helped you get up and going again. Enjoy those long walks. The simple pleasures in life are so often so joyful. James

We are very lucky to have such a highly skilled surgeon amongst us

5 50 Hip Replacement

Mr Lewis replaced my Right Hip at Goring Hall Hospital in 2007 removing all the pain I was in and my right hip is still totally pain-free in 2024. I returned to Mr Lewis in January 2024 and he replaced my Left hip, again removing all the pain. We are very lucky to have such a highly skilled surgeon amongst us and his willingness to help you in any way he can at any point in your journey back to health is truly remarkable. He keeps you very well informed of all the stages you will pass through and is always willing to take time to answer any queries you may have in a simple honest way. He is the" best" in my view and I sincerely thank you Mr Lewis and your team for giving me back a life that can be enjoyed for the "second time". If you are considering surgery with Mr Lewis go ahead with full confidence; as you will receive from a very skilled man an operation and care of the highest possible standard.

You are most welcome. It was lovely looking after you and getting you back on track. James

I cannot thank him enough for what he has done

5 50 Hip Replacement

My wife has dementia so is unable to write this comment she had a total right hip replacement on 9 December 2023 by epidural done by Mr James Lewis. From the pre-operation appointment to the actual operation and aftercare, we were kept fully aware of what would happen. The operation went as planned and within hours of recovery from the epidural, my wife was up and walking with a frame/sticks and pain-free.

She was discharged the next day walking with a frame and I'm sure within a few days will not need the frame. I cannot thank Mr Lewis enough for what he has done and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone with hip problems.

Treated by: Mr James Lewis

Thank you so much for your kind words and taking the time to share your experience for others. It has been lovely looking her and I wish you both all the very best. James

My expectations were fulfilled immensely

5 50 Hip Replacement • Paid: £1470

Reading the reviews prior to my hip replacement made me feel not only confident about the upcoming procedure but also excited and looking forward to it. My expectations were fulfilled immensely. I had an initial consultation where James explained in great detail what would happen and arranged an MRI for the following day. James called me on a Sunday to explain results and details of both pre-assessment and operation day. Once again this filled me with confidence.

Fast forward to post-op and I am walking around my house and garden pain-free less than 36 hours after leaving hospital. I am using one stick but only as a ‘security’ thing. I am pain-free (thanks to post op drugs prescribed by James). I am excited about the future and my only concern is overconfidence as I must allow the healing process to do its job.

Thank you so much Mr. James Lewis, I am so grateful.

I have benefited from the innovations the doctor has made to improve the operation and outcome

5 50 Hip Replacement

10 years ago I was extremely pleased with my R hip replacement performed by Mr James Lewis. On 6th January he performed a L hip replacement and this time I am amazed. Walking afternoon of the operation, discharged next day, no pain. Now two weeks later walking without sticks around the house and half mile twice a day using one stick for uneven ground just in case.

I have benefited from the innovations Mr Lewis has made to improve the operation and outcome. Also the advice on pre op preparation and the calm way in which he and the anaesthetist went through the procedure with me, made me feel totally relaxed and confident. A huge thank you to you both. Thank you also to the staff and physios on Ilex Ward for always being so caring and cheerful.

I cannot thank the doctor enough for what he has done and I would not hesitate to recommend him

5 50 Hip Replacement

I had a total left hip replacement last Wednesday 18 January 2023 by epidural. I had a total right hip replacement by the same method back in March 2021 done by Mr James Lewis. Going by how good the operation, care and recovery to a normal active life was last time with the right hip, when I knew that the left one needed doing there was no one else that I would have do the procedure for me but James Lewis.

Once again from the pre operation appointment to the actual operation and aftercare I was kept fully aware of what would happen. The operation went as planned and within hours of recovery from the epidural I was up and walking with a frame/sticks and pain free.

I came out two days later and am now (four days after op) walking with one stick although sometimes forgetting to use the stick altogether! I'm sure within a couple of days I will not need sticks at all. I cannot thank Mr Lewis enough for what he has done and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone with hip/knee problems.

Treated by: Mr James Lewis

Thank you Debra for taking the time to write this. It has been lovely looking after you, and I am privileged to have been able to help. Attention to detail is a large part of what we do. You rapid recovery is pleasing and testament to this. Stick free at 4 days - well done! Thank you again for describing your experience which will help others struggling with pain and looking at their options. James

The calm way he and the anaesthetist went through the procedure with me

Hip Replacement

10 years ago I was extremely pleased with my R hip replacement by Mr James Lewis. He replaced my L hip on 6th January and I’m truly amazed. Walking the afternoon of the operation, next day discharged, here I am ten days later walking half a mile twice a day with one stick.

I benefited from the changes Mr Lewis made to the operation, advice on pre-op preparation at home, and the calm way he and the anaesthetist went through the procedure with me.

Thank you to them both and the Ilex Ward staff and physios who are always cheerful and caring.

Treated by: Mr James Lewis

Thank you for describing your experience first hand. We continue to innovate and I am pleased you were amazed! It has been lovely looking after you and to see you recover, out of pain and back walking. I wish you well for the future, James.

The ultimate professional as far as I'm concerned and I can't speak more highly of him

5 50 Hip Replacement • Paid: £28500

Hi, I had my left hip replaced on the 30th March and my Right hip replaced on the 25th May 2022 at Goring Hall Hospital by Mr James Lewis.

I chose James as he replaced my partners knees 3 years ago and she's always telling everybody how well everything went. Mr Lewis is well ahead of the game with his techniques and the implants he uses.

The surgery went well and was virtually pain free. I could walk easily without sticks after 5 days and climb the stairs without sticks after the same time. Me Lewis is the ultimate professional as far as I'm concerned and I can't speak more highly of him.
