Right hip replacement. Couldn't have asked for a better service, 6 weeks in and I'm walking without support and doing everything that I was before the operation! Mr Veitch explained everything before the operation and carried out a review of my condition afterwards. Thank you

I was seen very promptly & everything about the proposed procedure was clearly & reassuringly explained. Any worries were talked through & everything went ahead smoothly with so far a very good outcome. I felt very safe in Mr Veitch’s care.
