The staff was incredibly kind and attentive, making sure I was comfortable and informed every step of the way. The nurses were absolutely wonderful and always ready to answer my questions and provide reassurance. They truly went aShow morebove and beyond to ensure I felt supported during my stay. My surgeon was not only highly skilled but also took the time to explain the procedure thoroughly, which helped alleviate any concerns I had. What stood out most was the overall atmosphere of safety and care. I felt completely secure in their hands, knowing that I was receiving top-notch medical attention.
Dr Bailey is wonderful and is very clear on what to expect before & after surgery. Follow up was great and once again communication is very detailed and clear. My confidence in him is very high. Will be back for other knee replaceShow morement with James Bailey once needed.
