I stay away from hospitals…but fractured my shoulder. Luckily I was able to meet Doctor Magnussen. The visit was brief, but not rushed. Everything was clear and I felt cared for. The second visit was also great. Professional and caring. I’m very grateful to him.

Mr Magnussen had recently seen me for a wrist fracture and managed my case. He is an incredible surgeon and an absolute professional. His personal care and understanding of me has greatly been appreciated. He is kind, caring and very empathetic. I was in a lot of distress with my injury but he relieved my worries very well. I have made a full recovery and I am truly grateful to have been treated by him.
