Mr Andrew Sidebottom

I would highly recommend Mr Sidebottom. Not only is he an expert in his field; he is also extremely patient and empathetic and nothing is too much trouble for him. He provides exemplary patient care and Im so grateful to have had him treat me!

Honestly my personal experience with Mr. Sidebottom was disappointing. Maybe it was because my TMJ issue is not a severe case. I was recommended by my orthodontist and I understood that the orthodontist might just want to check if the brace will make the TMJ issue worse. But the whole experience was just not worth the 210(maybe its so bad also because Im paying for it myself) First of all, I dont have a car so I had to pay taxis for return journey to the hospital which added on the price and time. Secondly, the appointment time was suppose to be 30 mins and mine is under 15 mins. He asked me some questions about my concerns, (checked my jaw for about 30 secs) which probably is not concerning him so what I go in return was everything he wrote on his website already and also everything I know about TMJ already!! And he says I probably dont need to visit again (oh great!) And the appointment ended. 15+ mins left so I asked him is that all. He said he will use the rest of the time to look at my CT scan (I brought it in person from previous record) so I left. However, after two weeks, I still haven't got a review record from the appointment, and I called few days ago why the record note not been sent to me. The secretary said Mr. Sidebottom still need to look at the CT scan to complete the notes. Really making me wondering is they really worth 210? I guess the only suggestion would be if your TMJ is not bothering you that much, dont bother doing consultation. :)

I was seen by Dr Sidebottom and he did not pay attention to my issue, it was only after I questioned it that he realised he missed my problem.

I travelled to see Mr Sidebottom with a severe, debilitating condition which had been received with systemic disbelief and disregard by my local NHS for over a year. After so many frustrating experiences l booked in desperate hope rather than genuine expectation but can honestly say my consultation was absolutely first class, Mr Sidebottom did not dismiss, minimise or patronise but very quickly set to work to confirm a diagnosis, outline a practical treatment plan and offer further follow up for review. All questions were answered with honesty and clarity, and my only regret is l did not meet Mr Sidebottom a year earlier.

I recently had a TMJ joint replacement under Mr Sidebottom. The treatment and professionalism I received from him and his team was second to none. I have no doubt that performing surgery under the unusual circumstances of a pandemic and having to wear a respirator in theatre made this a more chalenging procedure than usual. Mr sidebottom and his wonderful anesthetist and theatre team were exceptional and put me at ease through my stay in hospital. I was able to return to an almost normal diet (no steak yet!) within a few weeks of my operation and although I still have some pain, my mouth opening is now substantially better than before the surgery. Anyone considering surgery with Mr Sidebottom can be confident that they are in good safe hands.
