− BA (4 weeks after TKR Mar 2017)

"I am 43 years old and had a football injury at 21 years old. I had snapped my ACL but Bolton Hospital did not see that. Later in my life I had numerous operations, ACL repair, microfracture, clean outs etc. It got to a point where I struggled to walk down the road, holidays ruined etc because of the pain, doctors saying you are to young to have a knee replacement. Then I met Dr Shepard who in my words is a god to me. He had faith in me to give me a knee replacement and I cannot thank him enough. My life has transformed, I walk normal now I do the things I want and no pain at night. Don't get me wrong, it aint easy after the op you need to move that knee straight away and DR Shepard is the man to get your life back on track. Thank you Dr Shepard :)"

"My management and treatment by Mr Shepard and his team was exemplary throughout. I was also anxious about having my total knee replacement under epidural anaesthetic but needn't have been - my sincere thanks to Dr Roberts for his care and reassurance. I could feel the improvement in my knee almost straight away and it now feels better than for the past 20 years when I first dislocated my patella. It is now 8 weeks since my surgery and I am delighted with the outcome. I am so looking forward to enjoying the summer with my young grandchildren. Thank you, Mr Shepard. "
