Here at One Hatfield Hospital, we are always pleased to hear what our patient’s think of the service they have received. Below is a snapshot of the some of the excellent feedback we have received for Mr Chatoo.

Mr Chatoo was not only charming with an exceptional bedside manner, but made me feel at ease all the way through my treatment. He explained everything about my procedure from start to finish that put my mind at rest and I knew he would take very good care of me and my knee.

I think Mr Chatoo is top in his field. He is very knowledgeable and I had complete faith that he would do a good job!
