MR PAUL PLANK REVIEWS
I am so glad I found Mr. Plank. He is not only a brilliant surgeon but a great communicator who talks to you like a friend. I feel so relaxed which makes it easier to understand and take in what he is talking about. I have recommended him to many people who are worried and stressed about taking that step towards surgery. They are eased knowing he will only do surgery if it is the best step for them.
Thank you so much, Paul. For your outstanding care, empathy, and compassion, you have given me. It has been 3 weeks since I had a total right hip replacement. I can not thank you enough, and I am starting to feel so much better than before. Highly recommend.
The best decision I have ever made, listen to a friend who was 100 percent happy with Pauls work on his knee. I'm also very happy with my knee replacement. I couldn't have found a better Surgeon.

MR STEVE CSONGVAY REVIEWS
After years of arthritic pain my GP refered me to Dr Csongvay and he confirmed what I thought - medication was benifiting the pharmacutical companies, but not my pain. He clearly explained my options in layman terms I could understand. The follow up after the operation was excellent and Steve made himself available for questions. I have now regained use of my hand and there is no more pain!! The "bed side" manner of this surgeon and his staff (Norma) is exceptional. You are not treated like a number and it's refreshing to see quality personal service is still alive and well.
Mr. Steve Csongvay is the ultimate professional. He is a skilled surgeon and an expert in his field. He is kind and his duty of care is of the highest quality.
As a nurse with over 30 years experience, I can confidently say that Steve clearly stands out as a highly-skilled surgeon and, as importantly, a great communicator and caring health professional. Both my son and, more recently, myself have had successful surgical treatment of shoulder injuries and cannot rate our experience highly enough. His support manager Norma (Malvern) is always helpful and seeks to ensure all relevant needs are met - thanks again.
