Medically the experience was great Less so with the admin side
Insightful, businesslike , knowledgeable, competent and reassuring. As a patient I felt entirely in the hands of a committed professional.
I was very fortunate to have been introduced to Dr Colaco by a friend, who has had treatment from Dr Colaco in the past. Dr Colaco, when I met with him gave me a lot of confidence in how he presented himself to me, and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking help for shoulder problems, ( which is for what I was seeing him ) Also all the staff at the Lister Hospital, where gracious, welcoming and efficient. I live in Canada, and although of UK origin, in Canada we have very limited access to private consultants and specialist, so I feel fortunate that I was able to be treated for my problem within 3 days of first contact with Drr Colaco
Fully explained all option, very professional and friendly
I had alot off opps on my shoulder, thants to mr colaco and his team, its seens to be holding. I can move my arm/shoulder alot more.
Mr Colaco was kind enough to phone me at home and make sure I was doing ok, such a lovely man and amazing doctor. Thank you so much!
I found Mr.Colaco very personable, professional and informative. His explanation to a non-medical person was very easy to understand And didn't leave me with any questions unanswered The appointment was not rushed and dealt with in in a relaxed and professional manner and culminated in a very informative video and explanation of the procedure undertaken I look forward to making a full recovery after undergoing the recommended physiotherapy and would like to thank him him very much for sorting my shoulder problem Mandy M
Henry is excellent from all perspectives. His professionalism, expertise, and bedside manner place him among the finest shoulder surgeons I have encountered in my career. I have referred numerous patients with shoulder conditions to him, and every one of them has reported complete satisfaction with their care. I have also had the opportunity to be treated by him personally for an ACJ injury, and both the experience and clinical outcome were excellent.
