HE IS EXCELLENT, NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT. COMPETENT AND REASSURING AND HIGHLY EXPERIENCED. HOWEVER, I ASKED HIM FOR ADVICE ABOUT WASHING AND DRESSING AFTER SHOULDER SURGERY. HE SAID ASK THE PHYSIO. I ASKED THE PHYSIO, SHE SAID ASK THE NURSES. I ASKED THE NURSES, THEY STARED BLANKLY AND SAID THEY HADN'T A CLUE.

Mr Butt came himself to the waiting area to find me and his kindly manner immediately made me feel both calmed and welcome. During the consultation he was very helpful, open, listening to me, and examining the mobility of my arm thoroughly, yet gently. He told me what his diagnosis was, "frozen shoulder", explaining it in great detail to me from the disease process and treatments, to the prognosis and possible outcomes.

I saw Mr Butt after suffering a frozen shoulder and following a few months of physiotherapy which had initially worked but had now plateaued I made an appointment to see M Butt. Within a week of seeing him I had an x-ray and steroid injection and within a few days of that, my movements were virtually back to normal and I had no more pain. I am very pleased with the results
