I went to see Mr Rhee after injuring my shoulder playing rugby. He identified the issue almost instantly and knew the best course of action. It ended up needing surgery which Mr Rhee explain what would take place. The surgery went well and I have the neatest scar I could wish for, his aftercare is second to non. Thanks to Mr Rhee I am able to continue to play rugby and will be forever grateful!!!

Explanation

This is the second time I’ve seen Mr Rhee. The first was concerning my right shoulder which required surgery and the second time with issues in my left shoulder (unrelated). On the most recent visit which required surgery, Mr Rhee treated me as a returning old friend, always friendly, patient and clear with the best plan of approach for me. I can’t recommend Mr Rhee enough; he is the best in the business as demonstrated post surgery and recovery…I am well ahead of schedule in terms of movement and returning to my active lifestyle.

Me Rhee was a genuinely caring individual. Going through surgery can be quite traumatic. But Mr Rhee”s kind and caring nature made me feel at ease. He was very professional and took the time to explain. The procedure thoroughly and answer and questions/concerns. The surgery itself went really well and a few weeks after quite a complicated shoulder surgery I am almost back to myself! Thank you Mr Rhee for getting me there!

I have known Jae now for a number of years he operated on a left shoulder for an impingement in 2015, and 2022 operated on my right shoulder (AC Joint reconstruction). Jae goes above and beyond, he explains everything he is going to be doing and why which puts you at ease. He is the one of the kindest and nicest people I know, he is very caring and most of all takes time to listen to your concerns. I would recommend him to anyone who is having any shoulder problems.
