Patient Testimonials
"I was very nervous about operation but Mr Ramappa put my mind at ease and the operation (hip replacement) went very well no problems at all.I was very well looked after by all the staff at Nuffield Tees Hospital I would not hesitate to to recommend them to others" - September 2026
"The quality of the care here is first class. The rooms are comfortable and well equipped and every member of staff that I encountered were helpful, kind and friendly. The aftercare is also excellent, I had a worry about the healing of the operation scar from my total hip replacement after a couple of weeks, so I phoned the Nuffield and got an appointment straight away and saw a nurse who put my mind at ease and advised a different cream, which resolved my worry. I have had a follow-up appintment with Mr. Ramappa which was very reassuring. Overall a positive experience" - August 2026
