After many years of knee pain and gradually declining mobility I finally decided to take action. My GP and a family member referred me to Dr Tim Small. Tim’s friendly manner from the outset made feel at ease. He explained everything clearly, what needed to be done, the outcomes I could expect, patiently answered my questions and reassured me that the post op pain would be well managed. Cynthia, Tim’s Practice Manager, provided all the information I needed, and I left the surgery trusting in Tim’s expertise. Tim’s care was excellent. He checked up on my progress each day in hospital, again patiently answering questions. The operation and post op care and pain relief were exactly as he had explained. It is now 12 weeks after my total knee replacement, and I am very happy with the outcome. I would thoroughly recommend Tim to anyone requiring knee surgery.

I am a middle aged lady with multiple chronic conditions. Dr Small still took me on with a smile and a laugh to give me a new left knee. He instantly put me at ease but was honest that my rehab could be a little challenging with my conditions but the result is fantastic, much better than I could have hoped. My pain has gone and at 11 weeks post surgery I am better than new!

I’m a 74 female that had a hip replacement done by Dr Small , six weeks ago.
He is an incredible surgeon with not only the expertise in his field, but an absolute delight to deal with.
If I ever have to have my other hip operated, I will have no doubts in using his services again.
Not only I can walk normally now with no pain, but he also fixed the difference in length in my leg.
His office manager Cynthia is also great, very knowledgeable and easy to deal with.
Dr Small is truly remarkable and I would recommend him to anyone who needs surgery without any hesitation.

Dr Small performed a hip replacement on my sister Rosemary.
He is the consummate professional, personable and has a lovely manner.
The surgery has been life changing for her. Rosemary would highly recommend him to anyone and will have him perform other necessary surgeries for her. You can’t really ask for a better recommendation than someone who will go back to the same surgeon again willingly!

Dr. Small managed to successfully reconstruct my torn ACL within 6 days of my initial consultation with him.
The manner in which the process of the initial consultation, surgery and the routine check-ups was taken care of is professional and smooth. Cynthia was helpful with booking consultations and answering any questions that I had pre and post surgery.
I recovered fairly well, with minimal pain a week post surgery. I only had to use crutches for the first 3 days. I gained my normal gait and achieved a bending of 120 degrees 6 weeks post surgery, thanks to the knowledge and expertise of Dr. Small.
I could not rate Dr. Small highly enough and would recommend him to family and friends.

Dr. Small is simply an outstanding surgeon. He is highly skilled in his field of orthopaedics which is evidenced by the success of his operations. He also has the ability to communicate easily and well with regard to options and likely results. I have no hesitation in saying that I knew immediately I was in a safe pair of hands. Having had a catastrophic fall in which I sustained a fractured pelvis and an impacted fracture to my hip, necessitating a complete hip replacement, Dr. Small used all of his considerable surgical skills in my operation which ensured that I was mobile and pain free very quickly. I have no trace of a limp nor of disparate sizes in the legs. A truly wonderful outcome and again, a tribute to Dr. Small’s skills. I thank him most sincerely for his care. A job truly well done.
Thank you also to Cynthia and Emma who were at all times helpful, considerate and caring. They are a wonderful team who pull well together.
