Dr McKean put me at ease and was very helpful in explaining the procedure
It was a very good session especially considering a different diagnosis occured following the ultrasound. Dr McKean was very good at explaining the issues, options and outcomes.
He is such a lovely, friendly and professional man. He explained everything so well and made me comfortable.
David carefully explained the procedure, told me what to expect and made sure any questions I had, had been answered. I was made to feel comfortable and confident by him and his team. A really positive experience after having been quite anxious about the procedure.
Ultra and 3 steroid injections required in left wrist. Dr McKean exudes professionalism and confidence which helped me to relax and eliminated any nerves i had prior to the procedure. He explained everything clearly in language that was understandable to me which helped put my mind to rest.
Very clear through the whole process
Nice calm manner and cheerful approach. Clear explanations of procedures and aftercare.
