Having previously carried out a highly effective injective solution providing long-term relief from a debilitating trigger thumb on my right thumb joint, Dr. Persey has now carried out the same procedure on my left thumb joint which had developed this condition. On each occasion I had total confidence in Dr. Persey's extensive specialist experience, his high level of professionalism and capability and his excellent patient care.
