I have had knee pain for years, which combined with Chronic Fibromyalgia, has meant that I have been incredibly limited in activities I can enjoy. This has obviously affected my mental health and general quality of life. I had a partial knee replacement in July 2025. It has changed my life. Despite now being on the waiting list to have a knee replacement on my other leg, , I now walk 2-3 miles on a daily basis. It’s painful because of the still unhealthy knee and fibromyalgia but my new knee is now my strongest knee! I can kneel fully on to my bottom. I haven’t been able to do that for years. I was able to do this within 8 weeks of the procedure. If you are in doubt about having Mr Nahas perform knee surgery, please don’t be. He is professional, empathetic and clearly an excellent surgeon. However, you MUST do your part and do all that is asked of you with post op physio and exercises. Yes it’s uncomfortable but each day you will see an improvement. Why go through the op if it is going to fail because you didn’t do some simple exercises? Don’t let Mr Nahas skill go to waste because you didn’t follow the physio instructions? It has really life changing and I am so goad that Mr Nahas will also be doing my other knee procedure.

I was referred to Sam Nahas for possible knee surgery following months of pain and struggling to walk. My initial consultation with Sam was a friendly and informative appointment. We talked through the xrays and problems with my knee and possible options to relieve pain in the short term and longer term. After deciding on the type of surgery, I looked forward to walking pain-free again in the future. Sam is always polite and took great care in explaining what to expect during surgery and whilst recovering. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sam Nahas for your surgery.
