  Extremely happy with my hip operation at Elanic and 2 weeks in I am walking around the house with no crutches and using only 1 crutch on a flat surface, I had my 2 weeks dressing check and the wound has healed so well I didn’t need another dressing on. From the surgeon Mr. Mahmoud to the nursing staff who were all so caring and helpful, thank you.I will definitely recommend.

  The staff were friendly and helpful throughout considering I had surgery it was a very easy process and I felt like there was nothing that they wouldn’t do to make me comfortable. The whole process was very straightforward and I felt very cared for. Thank to everyone for such a great job.

  I recently had a full knee replacement at the clinic and from my initial phone call everyone has been so helpful and professional which made the process very easy and stress free. The surgeon Colin Drury explained the whole procedure thoroughly and he and all the theatre staff made sure I was comfortable and at ease during surgery and the nursing staff looked after me till my discharge. I would recommend Elanic to anyone based on my experience.

  Recently had a hip replacement at Elanic. From the original consultation to the surgery and aftercare, I can't fault anything. All of the staff were so friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. They put me at ease before the op and looked after me following it. I've had one follow up phone call and a face to face appointment so far, with a further two face to face appointments scheduled. I have contact details and anout of hours emergency number should I need it. They are a great team. Highly professional. I would definitely recommend.

  I recently had knee surgery at Elanic in Glasgow and the whole experience has been extremely positive, I couldn’t recommend them enough. Johnross in the booking team was great at scheduling appointments both quickly and at a convenient time and kept me updated at all points. On the day of surgery Kayleigh and the rest of the team in the hospital couldn’t have been more helpful and reassuring. The facilities were excellent and I was in theatre quickly with no waiting around. I felt really well looked after as I recovered and was discharged the same evening after seeing physio. Mr Nunn carried out my surgery - from the first consultation I felt he really listened to what my goals were and talked me through all my options clearly so I felt I was able to make an informed decision. Post surgery he explained everything that had been carried out and included photos which I found really helpful. I am so glad I made the decision to have my surgery at Elanic and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to someone else. Their pricing was really competitive and the hospital was really easy to get to both by train and car due to the location. I’m still early days in my recovery but things are all going in the right direction and I’m really grateful to the whole team for their exceptional level of care from first point of contact.
