There’s nothing quite like hearing directly from other patients when you are contemplating undergoing a procedure. That’s why I Want Great Care – the independent review site – has become such a popular resource. It allows you to check out any doctor, dentist, hospital, GP practice and more. It is completely independent, secure and trusted both by patients and by healthcare providers. Comments are not edited or filtered so you can read honest feedback about each patient’s experience of care.
Carrothers Orthopaedics welcomes the service because it allows us to hear directly from our patients, so we know what we have done well and where we could improve. It enables prospective patients to check out our ratings and read what patients say about us.
Andrew Carrothers was awarded the I Want Great Care five star certificate of excellence every year since 2018 up until and including 2022, for delivering outstanding care to both his private and NHS patients.
At the time of writing there are 580 reviews of Mr Carrothers on the site and he receives five star ratings for ‘Recommend’, ‘Trust’ and ‘Listening’.
Here are just some of the things people say (we’ve listed comments under themes but the words are exactly as they appear on the review site)…
Personalised care
“Mr Carrothers listened to my needs, and lifestyle and helped make a plan around what worked best for me & spent time discussing various treatment options & long term care. He also then helped work around my competition schedule for ops & follow up injections as post op care.”

Successful outcome
“I had a right hip replacement on the 10th January, 2023 and the result has been fantastic. I am just about back to normal, no pain and driving. I would highly recommend Mr Carrothers and the Nuffield Hospital in Cambridge for an absolutely first class experience.”

“Totally first class in every way, from initial consultation with complete explanation of procedure and future expectations. Surgery performed with 100% success, without any hesitation would recommend this gentleman. Any possible future surgery needed this would be the surgeon for me, the other hip or indeed knees should the situation arise I would require this surgeon to perform the surgery. His bedside manner exception, polite, calm and so very reassuring.”

“I can’t speak highly enough about this doctor. He did an excellent job on my knee. I was straight back to work.. 3 months on, no pain, full mobility. You are lucky if you get this guy.”

Good communication
“The first time I met Mr Carrothers he inspired me with confidence and on each subsequent visit explained to me clearly and concisely what the problem was and his recommendation for treatment. All my questions were answered and all my fears and concerns addressed and I had a total hip replacement in January 2023, it has given me my life back.”

Life-changing
“I was very young to have a joint replacement but my quality of life was severely restricted. I am now back to leading a full and active life and have resumed all my activities that had been put on hold – even to the extent of being confident that I will enjoy my skiing holiday in a few weeks time.”

“Mr Carrothers has completely given me my life back and the operation has gone so well, that from just a few months in, I wasn’t aware at all of the difference between my remaining hip and the replacement. So well in fact, that I’m currently in training for the London Marathon in April 2023, testement [sic] to the skill and care of Mr Carrothers.”
