Patient Stories

Hear from patients who have undergone investigations and treatments for their hip and knee problems with Mr Oni.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Mr Richard M.

Mr Oni explained everything clearly and the whole process was faultless. I was walking the corridors within two days and driving again in a fortnight. The scar is so neat you can hardly see it.

Treatment

Hip Replacement

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Mr Robert F.

Mr Oni and the team were very professional throughout. The recovery was tough, but I stuck to the exercises and only needed over-the-counter painkillers. Two months on, I completed a nine-mile bike ride.

Treatment

Robotic Knee Replacement

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Ms Liz.

Mr Oni and Libby are a really good team and made me feel completely comfortable. I'd been limping for a year, but almost marched into my follow-up. I've got my life back.

Treatment

Arthrosamid Injection

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Mr Tony G.

Mr Oni gave me real confidence going into surgery, and I cannot fault my experience. I'm back to walking the dogs, gardening and farm work. The steep hills that once bothered me, now I don't even notice.

Treatment

Robotic Knee Replacement

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Ms Zoe G.

Mr Oni and the team were incredibly supportive, kind and patient. I was walking with a frame the same day and dressing myself the next morning. Within two weeks I could pick my daughter up from school.

Treatment

Hip Replacement

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Mr Ian F.

Mr Oni recommended the Arthrosamid injection and everything has been brilliant. Two weeks later I was rotovating the garden for two hours. It felt like some sort of miracle, I didn't notice I'd had bad knees.
