Received excellent service from Mr Guy. Was able to see him quickly at Yorkshire Clinic, he listened and got to the cause of my injury and subsequent issues. I was clear as to the treatment options offered and was able to have my operation in three and a half weeks after my decision. The operation went well and I am recovering full fitness 5 weeks later.
Very professional service from start to finish .if your having problems with your knee or knees go to see this Guy !I couldn’t wait for the nhs I’m afraid the wait times were ridiculous! So as I am a self employed fitness coach/ instructor I needed to get back to work ASAP mr guy has helped me do that In double quick time!I can not recommend him highly enoughThanks Mr Guy (the knee guy)💪
From the very first meeting with staff at the clinic, the care they give is exceptional. Nothing too much trouble. Mr Guy makes you feel at ease with his explanations of what to expect both post op and pre op.Would highly recommend
What an amazing journey to my new knee, Mr. Guy was very friendly, professional, informative and trustworthy. I certainly would recommend Mr. Guy to be your surgeon.
Went to see My Guy with severe knee pain, after the initial consultation I was referred for MRI scan, diagnosis was that medial meniscus was damaged. I went for surgery under Mr Guy, the day of surgery Mr Guy explained to me in detail what the operation would consist of and how he planned to fix the problem. After the operation Mr Guy advised me of what had been done and what had been found, my medial meniscus had exploded and he had trimmed it back and salvaged as much as possible to allow me to live as normal life as possible without knee pain. 4 weeks after surgery I went for post op consultation where Mr Guy checked how I was and what symptoms I was feeling if any. I advised that I was now pain free and in a really good place to such a point I had been stepping up my exercise 2 weeks after my op. Mr Guy once again went into detail about what he did, showed me photos of the operation in the affected area, also diagrams explaining what he found and how it was fixed. Mr Guy also checked my ACL while he was in there which I had replaced in 2006, with great news that degeneration was not too evident.I can get back to playing sports I love as a result. Mr Guy is a very approachable gentleman who is clearly at the top of him game, I would encourage anybody who needs treatment to see Mr Guy, you would be in the best and safest hands possible in my opinion.Thank you Mr Guy, top man.
Mr Stephen Guy performed two arthroscopies and a partial knee replacement on my knees. During that time he was knowledgeable, caring and enthusiastic. He truly loves his job. The surgeries went perfectly and I walked out with no crutches on all three ops., There was minimal scarring and excellent after care and follow ups. I would highly recommend Mr Guy he is truly 'The Knee Guy'.
Stephen Guy carried out the knee replacement on my right leg at the beginning of July 2024.From the first consultation through surgery and post operative care his skill, professionalism and attention to detail was first rate.Working with a team at the Yorkshire clinic I immediately felt secure and in safe hands. The procedures were fully explained by Stephen so I knew what to expect and the part I had to play in my recovery. My knee replacement was 100% successful and I would fully recommend Stephen and his team to others needing surgery.
