Andrew Forester, Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon
Personal treatment philosophy:
"I am a firm believer in the philosophy that all non-operative avenues should be explored prior to considering surgical intervention which should be considered to be the last option. I think it is essential that consultants give their patients reassurance about their concerns and to engage with patients on a level that allows them to understand the conditions that they are suffering from and the treatment proposed."
