• 14.09.2021Dr Connan performed a knee replacement for me in March 2021 . I cannot recommend him highly enough , he is a very caring doctor & spends the time explaining all facets of the surgery & the aftercare. I will have to have my other knee done sometime in the future & he certainly will be my doctor again .
