What our patients say

Thanks for sorting my knee out – it was much better from the day after the arthroscopic surgery. DK age 48

Thanks Mr Gibbon for giving me back my quality of life; after my arthroscopy I can now dance and play sport again. KM age 15.

To say that my day surgery at Clifton Park was positive experience is an understatement. The care I received far exceeded my expectations. I was treated in a kind and friendly manner by all those involved in my operation.

I had a very pleasant stay in the York Nuffield and the team that looked after me were brilliant; Mr Gibbon, Rami, Wendy, Joanne, thank you to you all.

I was amazed that I had no pain or discomfort while I was in hospital and since leaving I had only experienced the mildest discomfort. Thank you so very much, I am confident that my rapid recovery is due to your skill and expertise as a surgeon.

Thank you for making the knee revision so easy for me. After 5 weeks my knee is working well and I’m able to walk into my village every day. I cannot tell you how grateful I am. EBS age 62

Many thanks for resolving my ACL problem; it is progressing very well already after just 4 weeks

Mr A.J. Gibbon was very good and skilful; he explained everything at each stage.

Following a 26 mile inca trail, we arrived at Machu Picchu today - 5 months postoperative Revision Total Knee Replacement. A big thank you !!!!

I take my hat off to the the surgeon, Dr Gibbon, and the theatre staff were lovely - the nurses and care assistants as well. Thank you for all the hard work from the start and finish. You should be proud of the care you provide.
