Sussex Hip Clinic

I had a total hip replacement just over a month ago. The procedure was carried out by Mr James Lewis who prior to the operation had sent me a detailed explanation of what the procedure involved, which was very reassuring. I was able to stand and walk within hours of operation and was completely pain-free 2 weeks post-operation. All the staff I encountered were friendly and professional and my short stay at Goring Hall was comfortable.

I had a minimally invasive hip replacement 12 days ago. I was walking without the frame (the physio carried it!)less than 24 hours after surgery. I can now walk a mile twice a day with a little coffee break in the middle. Just amazed and so grateful. So different from the hip replacements I nursed at Barts in the 60/70s. Chose Mr Lewis as so many golf and tennis friends had had highly successful surgery under him. Fell very lucky to have had the op in spite of Covids best attempts to thwart me!

I had a minimally invasive total hip replacement 4 weeks ago by James Lewis at Goring Hall and I can not recommend highly enough.

I had previously had a resurfacing of my left hip by Mr Lewis 4 years ago and had no hesitation in contacting him when I need my right one doing. From initial consultation through to the surgery and now recovery, every step was well explained and my concerns and questions well covered.

I have had no pain from the surgery and was up and walking within hours. I fully expect to get back to playing Golf, Skiing, Tennis and Gym once fully recovered and for this, I can not thank James enough.

The whole team at Goring Hall were also fantastic. Thank you.

I scoured the internet looking for the right surgeon & the right operation for my hip replacement - & I certainly found both in Mr Lewis & his minimally invasive surgery.

Everything worked out perfectly for me - excellent hospital & staff & felt very comfortable there albeit for a very short stay!

Just over two weeks on & I feel very well & am walking very well. I have no pain or discomfort - a rather different situation to when I had my other hip done 24 years ago. Thank you so much for my new hip!

I first received a very comforting letter from Mr Lewis and then had a very reassuring telephone conversation with him as we could not meet face to face because of the virus. I had already been told by a friend that Mr Lewis was the best man to go to. I am at the end of my second-week post-op and am walking reasonably freely.

At this point, I feel extremely satisfied. The first port of call was pre-op assessment and the nurses I saw reassured me and I can only say all the nurses and staff at Goring Hall were extremely friendly. On the day of the operation, I was reassured and all went well and I can only say that my experience was not as traumatic as I thought it was going to be. Mr Lewis was fantastic and I highly recommend him. Finally, I thank everybody, my only comment is that the food was not too good.

It is a year ago today 27th February I had my hips replacements done by Mr Lewis and I have not looked back. He has given me a new life and free from pain I walk everywhere and I cycle to work. My friends and work colleagues can't believe the difference in me. And the staff at Goring Hall hospital were fantastic they were so friendly and welcoming. The food was excellent. If you are looking for a good consultant Mr Lewis is your man he is very friendly and will answer all the questions you need to know about your operation. When I am talking to other people they always ask I hear you had your hips done, I would say yes I had 2 hip replacements and the consultant was Mr Lewis. Thank you so much. George Christie
