Dr Small replaced my left hip in 2019. I had a very unfortunate accident on the day I was discharged from rehab by an occupational therapist and a very unpleasant social worker before dr small had had an opportunity to review me. They refused to wait and after 5pm on the Friday they organised my discharge from rehab. There was no way for me to contact him as it was after hours on Friday. I was dumped into my front door early on Monday morning. Cleaners had been arranged by the social worker at rehab who could not speak English or communicate with me. My bathroom. Floor was left wet and the cleaners left me alone unable to care for myself. As I entered the bathroom on crutches, the crutch slipped on the wet bathroom floor. My left femur was then very badly fractured and it was necessary for me to be rescued and taken back to hospital for surgery to reduce the fracture and revise my hip replacement. I was and will always be thankful to dr small for. His kind and compassionate caring attitude to me. Following the accident it took me nine months of intense Physio and personal training to learn to walk again. Shortly after I had begun to advance and improve steadily with my mobility and strength I was diagnosed with breast and lung cancer. During stagin a very large brain aneurysm was discovered. I am currently recovering from my brain surgery in a beautiful rehab hospital. I have never experienced such nastiness, judgment an unpleasantness from any person such as the social worker and the other place. I refused to return there on this occasion. The social worker accused me of malingering and not recovering quickly from my pain and injuries because she claimed I had psychological problems preventing my from improving. She insisted that I should be doing voluntary work at the Wayside Chapel. However I was helpless and in a greatdeal of pain but she placed me in the hands of an ACAT team who showed me nothing but contempt and neglect for eight weeks.

Could not be more impressed. I had a stress fracture in the head of my femur caused by the immunotherapy drugs treating my brain tumour. Tim was exceptional, his friendly, understanding, caring, professional approach made me feel completely relaxed and confident. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone looking for a great orthopedic surgeon, each consultation was an excellent experience.
