I consider myself very fortunate to have been under the care of Mr Magra for two knee replacement operations. Recovery from my recent left knee replacement operation on 29th November 2022 has been amazing. Within a couple of weeks I was comfortably managing to walk unaided. Seven weeks later and I can walk for some distance without any pain. The level of care and expertise I experienced was exceptional. Mr Magra and following support from staff ensured I gained a positive and speedy recovery.

I can’t speak highly enough of Mr Magra’s skill. I’m in mid-recovery (7 weeks) after total hip replacement following severe osteoarthritis, and despite my age (82!) I’m absolutely delighted. Mr Magra is a charming and empathetic surgeon, who treats his patients with the utmost care and professionalism. I’m particularly impressed with his use of very accurate X-rays to pre-plan his operations, which has certainly paid off in my case. After nearly two years of pain, eventually almost unable to climb or descend stairs, I’m rediscovering the delights of walking freely, easily and with pleasure. Heartfelt thanks!

I have been in the care of Mr Magra now for a year and he has been amazing. I’ve had 2 hip replacements – one in April and the other in November – the first was great the second more complicated but throughout Mr Magra has been very informative and caring. He’s never in a rush and answers all your questions to put you at ease. I am looking forward to returning to my active life now I am pain-free and mobile due to his skill. I only accept the best which is why I chose Mr Magra as he is excellent and would highly recommend him.

I am (as of today) 7 weeks and 6 days post op, for a complicated left hip replacement. Essentially I had no socket for my left hip. Mr Magra virtually reconstructed my whole upper leg. The chronic pain beforehand meant I was unable to walk much more than 100m without intense pain. Post op I have completed in excess of 2 miles with 2 crutches and 1 mile with a single crutch and I am now starting tingling confidence to lose the crutches altogether.

I am 50yrs old this year so my hip will probably not last my entire lifetime but I would not be comfortable with anyone else performing any further operations on my hip.

I honestly cannot tell you how much of a difference Mr Magra and his team have made to my life.

I cannot praise the skill, kindness and care of Mr Magra enough. It is almost two weeks after my hip replacement. An amazing success. I feel so happy and pain free now. I can walk upright albeit with a crutch at the moment. That is something I have been unable to do for a very long time. He explains everything so very well and is very patient if you have questions. I would definitely recommend this wonderful man. He is my hero.

I cannot recommend Mr Magra highly enough. My full hip replacement has been a brilliant success and I have been left with a very neat scar. He is very approachable, explains everything about the surgery, and makes you feel at ease. I felt very safe with him as I was very nervous about having surgery. After seeing him again recently for my other hip to be replaced I am much more confident. A very skilled ,caring professional who I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone.

From my first appointment to my 6 week post op check up Mr Magra has been totally honest and thorough.He is very caring and explains everything to you he makes you feel very confident about the future.After a successful hip replacement I would certainly recommend him to anyone who was in as much pain as I was before my surgery.

At my six week post operation appointment Mr Magra listened to me, maintained eye contact, explained post operative care for hip replacement , showed me the X-ray taken before being discharged from hospital. Totally professional in answering my questions. In my opinion an outstanding consultant whom I can highly recommend.

I Struggled for years with Arthritis in my right knee. I met with Mr Magra, who agreed to carry out a full knee replacement. The results after seven weeks are amazing. My mobility, has improved dramatically. Throughout the whole process Mr Magra has been fantastic, I can’t thank him enough for his care and skill.

Patient at BMI Lancaster Hospital

Naturally I was apprehensive about having my hip replacement however I cannot praise Mr Magra enough. From my first consultation to my 6 weeks post appointment he explained everything to me and answered all my questions with enthusiasm and interest and put my mind at rest. Thank you for eliminating my pain so I can smile again.

I have found Mr. Magra to be very approachable, caring and with an excellent ability to explain clearly, in layman’s terms, the precise nature and solution to my problem knee. The actual operation went without a hitch, as far as I am aware and has been a complete success. After 8 weeks, I can honestly say that I am delighted with the result. The care I have received at WGH by Mr Magra and his team, cannot be faulted in any way and he gets my heartiest endorsement!!

I was seen in the orthopaedic clinic during a covid 19 lockdown and was unsure what to expect. Firstly I had X-rays, then an examination and consultation. Then, and much to my delight I was offered and administered steroid injections for pain relief. Mr Magra was thorough, and at no time did I feel rushed or that I wasn’t listened to. I left the consultation delighted, with a clear and personalised plan in place, in order to relieve and treat my symptoms in the future.

I met Mr Magra in Lancaster hospital the day after I was admitted following a fall from my bicycle, He listened carefully about the incident and was very thorough and informative regarding his diagnosis and plan. A full hip replacement was decided upon due to my general physical fitness. At the follow up appointment a couple of months later, he was very pleasant and remembered me! His examination and advice was very thorough and I left the appointment very satisfied.

I went to see Mr Magra about my knee. I had damaged my ACL about 8 years earlier but it had somehow flown under the radar even though I had seen various Doctors about it over the years. I eventually had a MRI scan on it and was told to see Mr Magra who immediately said I needed an operation, AT LAST !! Mr Magra’s pre OP and post OP consultations were excellent, he was very friendly and very informative and had plenty of time for me, the actual operation was a complete success, although he told me it wasn’t a cure and I would likely have problems with my knee as I get older with rheumatism, but it sure is a welcome break from the pain and discomfort I’ve been having for the last 8 years. So I’d like to thank Mr Magra for recognising that I needed an operation and for doing such a good job with the operation. Thank you Mr Magra
