Mr Alex Magnussen is professional, kind, and clear with patients. Patients report excellent outcomes from procedures like keyhole shoulder surgery and carpal tunnel decompression. He explains complex conditions and treatment choices well, helping patients feel confident and informed about their care. Successful results are frequently achieved across various hand, wrist, shoulder, and elbow surgeries.
I had the opportunity to work under Mr Magnussen as a trainee. They demonstrated an excellent depth of clinical and operative expertise, with a meticulous and evidence-based approach to patient care. Their professional demeanour was exemplary, combining confidence and decisiveness with approachability, empathy and respect for patients and colleagues. They communicated complex clinical information clearly and ensured that patients were fully involved in treatment decisions. His attention to detail, commitment to high standards and calm approach in challenging situations were particularly impressive. He consistently demonstrated professionalism, integrity and compassion, making him an excellent role model for both clinical practice and patient-centred care. I would highly recommend him !!!
Kind caring manner and excellent knowledge about my shoulder issue. Thorough examination and clear explanation for next steps and treatment options. Really found out what was going on. Would highly recommend and return if any further problems.
Mr Magnussen is truly an exceptional surgeon and cares deeply about his patients.
As a trainee I have had the benefit and good fortune of working for many Consultants and witness the spectrum of practice. Without doubt Mr Magnussen is at the top end and someone I aspire to, particularly in regards to his decision making, work ethic, communication, surgical skills and puts the patient at the heart and soul of practice. He really goes the extra mile for trainees and his patients!
Alex Magnussen was professional and explained in a clear manner what was happening with my finger. I felt assured and will get back in touch should things get worse. Thank you!
I had a very positive experience with Mr Magnussen from start to finish. Mr Magnussen was very friendly, clearly explained everything and ensured I was happy with my treatment. He understood my individual needs and respected these. I found Mr Magnussen to be very professional and genuinely interested in my treatment and recovery. Top class service!
Mr Magnussen was most courteous and professional, clearly explaining the condition and treatment options available. The operation was arranged very shortly afterwards , following scans etc and on the operation day, he took time to meet with me beforehand and outline everything involved. The operation was a success, the joint healed well and his physio team were very attentive and assisted with my rehabilitation. Some 9 months post op, I have full use of my thumb joint, no pain and minimal scarring. I am very happy with Mr Magnussen’s care and would not hesitate to recommend him for this type of treatment.
Many years of practical work on building sites and school workshops left me in constant pain in my right hand. Mr Magnussen a remarkable removal, And re arrangement of bones and I have regained full use of my right hand, Which has lasted 3 years so far with no sign of deterioration. I am so grateful for his work and expertise. That has benefited me beyond the basic physical improvement. We are now looking to improve my left hand so I can be pain free there too.
Mr MAgnussen explained my MRI to me and reassured me. I'm very grateful
I was seen by Dr. Magnussen for my trigger finger. He was absolutely amazing and answered all my questions and addressed my concerns prior to procedure. I was very well looked after by him and I couldn't be more happier with the results.
Highly respected colleague, patient-centred, providing excellent care to his patients.
