Patient Reviews

"I have just had my total hip replacement done by Mr. Simon Garret, and he is a surgeon of genius proportions. I could not bear too walk on my left hip. Today, I am walking without pain. Amazing results. I would like to thank all the staff at The Winterbourne for their kind and courteous treatment while I was under their care and advise anyone in need of hip or knee help to give him a ring. A true gentleman, thank you, Simon, for your skilful surgery."

"My husband had a hip replacement at the end of November 2018. We were extremely impressed with Simon Garrett with his whole approach of the procedure from start to finish. He seems to adopt the most up to date methods and the best recovery methods for the patient. Mr Garrett is probably the most professional and approachable doctor we have ever had the pleasure of dealing with and he is supported by a very well organised and efficient secretary. We know other people who have had hip replacements but comparing experiences we were very fortunate to have had him."

"I can’t recommend Mr Garrett more highly - I’ve had two hip replacements one in April 18 followed by the 2nd in December 18. Everything was explained clearly from the start - with all queries answered and the aftercare from the staff at Ridgeway Ward were also excellent. Huge thanks to everyone."

"Had hip replacement surgery in March and have been amazed by the whole experience. The minute I walked into my consultation I felt completely as ease and had every confidence with Simon. The whole thing was explained clearly and although very nervous for the operation had complete trust that I was in good hands. The surgery was a great success and my recovery was also a lot quicker than I expected. I will need to have the other side replaced and will be going back to Simon for that also."

"Hip replaced December last year. All went to plan and good recovery. Excellent communication throughout. Just returned from cycling holiday and going Walking in Italy in September. Life back to normal."

"Please convey my sincere thanks to Mr Garrett and all his team for my hip replacement surgery, and all you have done for me. Thank goodness we have such skilled and professional people in our health care system."

"I am now able to walk without crutches and have been for a while; my ‘physio‘ has not allowed it only because when I have then I walk better, but I am certainly not using them for weight bearing/support."

"I cannot find enough words to praise the fantastic work of Mr Simon Garrett who replaced my hip joint on Friday 18th September 2020 ,I was discharged from the Harbour Hospital on the afternoon of Saturday the 19th September 2020 . I was able to stand & walk on my leg the same day of the operation & the next morning could walk up & down stairs with very little discomfort . The care shown by the nursing staff was outstanding & nothing was to much trouble for them . I know most people do not look forward to having an operation but the Harbour is like going to a Hotel the food & service is great . Thanks to everyone for their care."
