ACL Reconstruction and Meniscal Repair

After getting the opinion of 5 different surgeons Mr. Hannah was the only one who agreed to do surgery on my 14 years old daughters ACL. As she is hypermobile and still growing the surgery was complicated. Mr. Hannah was new to the clinic and we didn't know anything about him but he soon put us at ease. He showed us pictures before and after surgery and his follow up care was excellent. 8 months on she's had no problem. We are very happy with the result.

Knee replacement 

I found Mr Andrew Hannah very caring, conscientious and excellent at his work. He is a highly skilled surgeon. It's just 6 weeks after my knee surgery and everybody has commented on how well I am walking without my crutches now. My surgery was complicated as my knee was all twisted with my arthritis and he has made a fabulous job straightening it. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mr Andrew Hannah for any surgery. I just can't sing his praises highly enough. Thank you so much Mr Andrew Hannah and all your team at the BlackRock Galway clinic.
