PAUL ALLEN

Princess Alexandra NHS Trust in Harlow, Essex

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT HIM: ‘A really sensible guy with exceptional experience — he does primary knee replacement and a lot of complex revisions [where the implant has failed and has to be replaced],’ reveals one of his peers. ‘Technically excellent and very reliable. The test of a good surgeon is how you deal with the difficult cases and absolutely nothing fazes him. He has a very good bedside manner and I know my relative would be in good hands with him.’

PRIVATE: Rivers Hospital in Hertfordshire, The Chelmsford Hospital.
