Patients' Experiences

This section has been added to enable us to provide patients with a more complete overview of the surgical and rehabilitation experience. It comprises letters from patients regarding their overall surgical experience, and supplements the information provided by the medical team...a bit like talking to someone who has undergone a similar treatment to one that you may have been recommended. We hope the patients' viewpoint is useful to you and would appreciate any similar feedback, which may be put onto the website for the purpose of patient- assisted consent.

    Comments: I had a manipulation under anaesthetic procedure on my right shoulder, under the care of Professor Levy. I want to say, first and foremost, how impressed I was with the care I received. The nursing staff in the day surgery were very friendly, efficient and professional and the anaesthetic team made me feel very reassured. The whole procedure went very well and while I’m still receiving physiotherapy, my shoulder is making a good recovery. Can you please pass on my thanks to the whole team for this?

    Yours sincerely
    Mrs B. M.
