Mr Toby Baring

I had thought a shoulder replacement might not be possible given my heart and other conditions, but from my first meeting with Mr Toby Baring I felt completely at ease. He listened to every concern, secured the best anaesthetist, and gave me the confidence - and even excitement - to go ahead. One month after surgery I’m already moving freely and looking forward to tennis, swimming, cycling and golf again. An outstanding surgeon and an inspiring human being.

I would summarise my experience with Dr Baring as very positive. He has been attentive, listened to my concerns and answered all my questions, which filled me with confidence before the oncoming operation. I would like to praise him and his team at the level of care and efficiency they provided during and after my recent shoulder operation. I felt I was in 'good hands' at the hospital before and after the procedure. My recovery was fast, which attests to Dr Baring's expertise in shoulder surgery. Highly recommendable specialist with a great support team.

I received exceptional care and service from Toby Baring and his team, from the time of my initial phone call to them until my full recovery from surgery.

I had complete trust in Mr Baring, right from my first appointment.  He was always empathetic and listened carefully to what I had to say.

He clearly explained my condition and each stage of my treatment in ways that were easy to understand. This was particularly important to me at a time of stress. Mr Baring is supported by an excellent secretarial team, who responded to all my requests and queries incredibly quickly. They were also unfailingly kind and empathetic.

I must say I was really impressed with Mr Baring and his whole team, who were all lovely and professional, so please relay a sincere thanks from me.

I would like to compliment Mr Baring and his team, on a superb level of attention and service to a recent shoulder operation I had. His communication, attention to my understanding the complex issues and next steps, and, patience in listening to my questions was superb - the operation, and extremely fast recuperation time (which he specialises in I believe) was very impressive. Highly recommended, especially to patients that require only the best communication and world leading surgical experience.

I saw this doctor both privately and on the NHS He is friendly, more than helpful consistent and practical. I can honestly say he listens, makes time and is totally honest and will try genuinely to help you.

I had a terrible injury to my elbow with multiple fractures, and was fortunate enough to be treated by Mr Baring. I had surgery to correct the fractures and add supportive metalwork. My elbow has regained almost normal flexion (I.e. it moves almost normally). It turns out this is very unusual after such a severe crush injury. Many doctors I have seen since have been very surprised at the extent of my recovery and I can only put this down to Mr Baring’s talent for orthopaedic surgery. He was also very personable and had good communication skills.

Mr Baring is a kind and empathetic surgeon.  He has treated me for degenerative changes and, more recently, a fracture.  His treatment of both has been superb.  At my advanced age he has given me pain-free mobility in both arms.
He has also taken an interest in my health generally; he has gone to the trouble of finding for me a specialist for another problem. I cannot speak more highly of his care.
