Patient reviews

" I recently attended Goring Hall for a 6 week follow-up with the excellent Mr Shah the consultant who performed my total hip replacement. First up was a trip to the imaging department to meet senior radiologist Dolly who performed an X-ray prior to my consultation with Mr Shah. There was no haste and everything was explained to me in a friendly and professional manner. Right from the start, my experience of the staff (not forgetting nursing staff) at Goring Hall has been entirely positive and thanks to them, the speed of my recovery has been absolutely amazing."

"Mr Shah and Raylin dealt with me very efficiently and in a friendly and sympathetic way. I have since had my pre-assessment appointment with Sandra. Again the treatment I received was exemplary and very thorough."
