"Mr Dobson came and spoke to me before my operation and explained everything to me. Later on in the day Mr Dobson came back to check on me and explained that he had to do some extra work. I can't thank this man and his team enough"

"Mr Dobson listened to me patiently and ensured I was fully informed of my treatment before and after my operation. He was professional and personable and took time to answer all of my questions."

"Mr Dobson made me feel very comfortable and thought he did a great job. Looking forward to using my knee properly and confidently again. A big thanks"
