My focus is on delivering results

I've been in the Winterbourne hospital a few times now and everytime it's an excellent experience.

Dr Hitchcock is very professional and one of the best doctors I've ever met. If everyone would be so kind as Dr Hitchcock is, the world would be a better place.

I was struggling for over a year, despite being under the NHS, and i dread to think how I would be if not for him. So a huge thank you to Dr Hitchcock

MKPatient

”I just wanted to reiterate my thanks for successful operations in the last year. Dr Hitchcock is a dear, caring physician whose human kindness to me is deeply appreciated.

I was recently in severe pain with my left knee. Dr Hitchcock administered pain relief directly into my knee. This gave me immediate relief. I cannot put into words how reassuring he was. I felt completely at ease with his manner and approach.
He remained professional throughout the consultation. I would highly recommend Dr Hitchcock’s management of pain relief.

Dr Hitchcock treated me earlier in the year for pain in my calf, and I just wanted him to know that I am still walking without any pain and that I think of him every day I go out and how lucky I was to have met him.

”Many thanks to Dr Hitchcock for the outstanding service he has provided over the last year or so.
