"I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and the rest of the team at the Fortius Surgical centre for making me feel so at ease yesterday. As far as surgery and ops go, it was a relatively stress free process and dare I say it, somewhat enjoyable. Everyone was on hand and very willing to help. The clinic itself was a lovely clean environment, with plenty of smiley faces, so thank you again."

"I would like to say a huge thank you for the incredible job you did on my left ankle. One year since my surgery, I completed today's Taunton Marathon in just under 4 hours. I am really grateful for what you did… it has changed my sporting life! Thank you so much."

"I am writing to thank you for carrying out the very successful operation to replace my right knee two weeks ago. As you know from my follow up visit twelve days after the operation, I am already moving around with only a walking stick for support and not even that for short trips around the house and garden. Given all the problems I have had with the knee over the last year or so, I regard this as little short of a miracle.

As you know, I went into the Cromwell on Wednesday 15th March and was home again on the afternoon of Friday 17th March, walking on my new knee. The speed and success of this is, I am sure, due to the work you and your team, and the excellent support staff at the Cromwell, have put into delivering a process which puts the patient first at every stage and minimises the time spent in hospital. Since the operation I have been largely pain free, except for the odd occasion when pushing the post operation exercises a little too hard, and I am expecting to go from strength to strength and give up the walking stick completely in the very near future."

"Thank you for the reconstructive MPFL surgery that you performed on Matthew last year. He was back to full contact rugby at the beginning of September … selected for the National Squad, and asked if he would consider captaining this national side for the season, which he was of course honoured to accept. Thank you for your surgical skills to help him get on this path - and for the experiences he will have playing in the England side and Touring Canada in a few weeks."

"I had to write immediately having had my first ski of the season. I must tell you that I skied with no problem at all; more than that, I cannot remember when I was as comfortable or able or more free of pain. This is entirely due to the excellent surgery and prostheses that you provided. Ever since April I have made determined progress through physio therapy and gym work to strengthen my legs. Today all that paid enormous dividends. Thank you again, I would be more than happy to recommend the procedure to anyone else."

"Twelve months ago today David Houlihan-Burne replaced my right knee joint. I'd like to say how successful this has proved to be. The knee has good flexibility, approaching that of the original left knee. I have no pain from the knee. In September my wife and I had a week in the Lake District where we undertook half-day walks each day, mainly on the lower fells, which the knee coped with well. And I have no compensating complaints from other joints, thank you."

"I would like to express my enormous thanks to James Calder for getting me back on my feet. Following an ankle injury last year, I was left unable to run. James carried out a left ankle arthroscopy with excision of anterior osteophytes and lateral ligament reconstruction. James, with the help of his fantastic network of colleagues, has helped me get back to running which has meant that I have won both a 5k and a 10k race this week and I am currently in training for the London Marathon, Three Peaks Yacht Race and Marathon des Sables. I am eternally grateful. Thank you."

"I really can't say enough good things about Dr Wallace. Not only the quality of surgery, but his advise and the way he's treated me as a patient has been phenomenal. The scar from the incision looks like a plastic surgeon did it - so tiny! I am very very impressed by Dr Wallace, plus all the supporting staff he works with."

"Just a very quick email to let you know that I made a full return to IronMan Triathlons this weekend in Venice and recorded a personal best on the swim slashing 8 minutes off my previous personal best. So it would seem the shoulder operation was a success. I wanted to let you know as this was a plan when we met in November before the operation and through the Isokinetic unit the recovery went fine. The results speak for volumes for the great work.

So thank you very much."

"Can not thank the Fortius Clinic and The Cromwell Hospital enough for their care, understanding, knowledge and professionalism with regard to getting my 17 year old son, who suffered a horrible rugby injury, treated quickly and efficiently! He had ACL PCL and LCL reconstruction.....the works!!! Mr Andy Williams and his team are just all angels in disguise and the man is simply just a genius!!

My son now is well on the road to recovery because of the care and surgery he has received and his future looks positive.THANK YOU can not recommend them enough just First Class."

"Dear Mr Rosenfeld I just wanted to drop you note to say thank you for the two successful operations you performed. Removing the accessory navicular's has stopped all pain and inflammation in both ankles. I completed the Royal Parks half marathon last month and had no discomfort from either ankle during or post exercise.

I can’t explain to you how much you have improved my day to day life. Since my ski season in 2004, I have been unable to take regular exercise and the injections only worked for a couple of months at a time. I have gone from limping to the tube in the morning to cycling in and playing team sports again.

I am shifting the natural insulation I gained during the periods of inactivity but most of all I’m just a lot happier with no ankle problems."

"I would like to offer my sincere thanks to you, Mr Calder. I know that this was simply another day in the office for you and that the procedure you performed on my foot was not a pioneering one but it has made an absolute world of difference to me. 6 months of crutches and the prospect of never being the same again have made me appreciate my mobility no end.

Both yourself and Anne Marie were consummate professionals throughout and made me feel both positive and well informed every step of the way (if you pardon the pun)."

"Having broken my ankle in February this year I was referred to Ioan Tudur Jones at the Clinic for Foot & Ankle Surgery. From the beginning he was open and clear about the process I would undergo, giving me the step by step process to recovery and advising me how best to help the ankle mend. When it came to having the surgery to realign my ankle and put the metal plates in place I had utter confidence in Ioan's ability. He was calm and reassuring and always ready to answer my many and frequent questions. Nine months on and the metal plates have been removed from my ankle, I'm back in high heels and back on the ski slopes. The recovery has been much faster then I anticipated given the severity of the break and I owe that to Ioan for his skill and support."

"I had the right distal biceps tendon torn (while abroad)and did my homework properly and chose Andrew Richards. It is hard to imagine a more exceptional surgeon, at the same time affable, caring, compassionate and capable to inspire confidence and reassurance without leaving aside an honest conversation regarding the procedure, the risks and the recovery steps. The operation was carried out impeccably with no follow-up pains or issues. Mr Richards is a genuine godsend."

"I rarely provide reviews for people, however I have been extremely pleased with the treatment I received and the expertise from Andrew in treating my Shoulder injury which had deteriorated after a motorcycle accident 5 years earlier. At all times Andrew was clear and concise and took time to explain his prognosis, treatments and likely outcomes. The ACJ surgery went extremely smoothly as a day patient and follow up and physiotherapy has resulted in a working, pain free shoulder joint, which has really improved my lifestyle. I recommend Andrew highly, he is not only good at what he does, but he is genuinely passionate about getting the very best outcome for his patients."

"I attended The Fortius Clinic for assessment of a 14 year old foot injury. The diagnosis had been initially missed via NHS care and problems continued. As I love to dance and live a very active life, I wanted the opinion of a foot and ankle surgeon with a sports medicine approach. Myself and other health practitioners involved with my care were extremely impressed by the clinical assessment and letter from Ioan Tudur Jones. It was through and well written and has helped me to make sense of my diagnosis and the impact this has had over the years on my foot, ankle and leg function. I consequently felt that the surgery treatment option suggested made sense to me and I could see a way forward to help resolve current problems. I have no hesitation in recommending The Fortius Clinic to others."
