Lucy Tregear

The care and attention I received was always cheerful and reassuring. I am enormously grateful to have had my surgery in Blackheath Hospital. I have only one cavil, and that relates to very early morning interruptions for blood pressure checks, (overnight staff completing their tasks), bright light turned on, just at the point when deep sleep was at last being enjoyed.

Mrs Jane Reid

Professional, personal and caring Paul Culpan and his team have looked after me so well in every respect, from the pre-op admin and assessments, through the whole operation and continuing care and attention post-op. I felt so confident in the whole procedure and the amazing skill that Paul Culpan used to fit my new hip with the minimum damage to my muscles and nerves and with the tiniest of wounds.

I have no words to express how grateful we are for professor Ali Ghoz “. From day one he demonstrated an extraordinary level of expertise and compassion, his dedication to my mother’s wellbeing was overwhelming. He took the time to thoroughly understand my mother’s condition and explained the procedures in detail. He carried out the treatment procedure with utmost professionalism and precision. I highly recommend Professor Ghoz to anyone seeking top -tier professional orthopaedic care.
