Reviews
Karen Stacey – Knee surgery, Barlborough
"A lovely place had a knee replacement all staff so friendly and caring great surgeon Mr Toth thank you for making my stay so good."
David Bryant – Hip surgery, Barlborough
"The surgery by Mr Toth has turned out better than I had hoped regarding leg length, positioning of the implant etc. It’s all pretty much perfect. Although I had a spinal injection I was still asleep for the whole procedure, waking up in recovery wondering when they were going to start."
Lorraine Bushell – Total knee replacement surgery
"First class experience! I have just had a total knee replacement on 20th March came home on Sunday, I cannot thank the surgeon Mr Toth and his theatre team enough it was a pleasurable experience."
