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.

Bad Shoulder
Good Shoulder
I was delighted with the service I received from Professor Levy and yourself.
Shocked at the pace with which you were able to organise an x-ray, consultation and treatment.
My one regret is leaving the problem until it became unbearable before seeking his assistance. Rest assured I will not make that mistake again.
I approached you following a recommendation from a fellow golfer who required more extensive treatment from Professor Levy than me and I hope to get the opportunity to recommend your services to others in need in the future. An activity I will entertain whole heartedly.
Many thanks and best wishes
Mr BT
