My experience with Mr Iain McLaughlin-Symon for my right-hand carpal tunnel surgery was extremely positive. He was kind, caring and reassuring, and I felt confident and comfortable in his care. At 94 years old, this meant a great deal to me. I was very impressed with the way I was treated and the care I received. Mr McLaughlin-Symon was absolutely smashing, and I am very grateful for the kindness and professionalism he showed me throughout my experience.
Having been in pain for a long time in two fingers I am so happy to now be pain free and have use of my fingers again. From the first consultation through the operation to discharge the care I have received has been excellent. Everything was explained clearly to me, questions answered and the care throughout has been exceptional.
I visited Mr Mclauglin-Symon via my Bupa network. I was so pleased with each step. I found the service the be excellent and he was accommodating, thorough, honest and reassuring.
Mr Iain McLaughlin-Symon treated me for a broken wrist/arm. His quality of care was excellent, he explained everything very well and arranged for me to receive physiotherapy after the healing process. My recovery has been excellent and I would highly recommend him 🌟
1st class from the 1st consultation to the last medical review. I can’t recommend Mr McLaughlin Simon enough. He talked me through everything with great detail and was able to put me at ease throughout the whole process. My surgery was performed without any delays and my progress has been as expected. I am grateful for the professionalism and care offered by the whole team.
From first consultation to discharge Mr Iain McLaughlin-Symon was helpful, considerate and professional. Everything was explained clearly, the operation went well and I am very satisfied with the results.
Amazing doctor made me feel so comfortable all the way through my procedure everyone was lovely
I have always found Mr McLaughlin-Symon very pleasant, professional and easy to talk to. I value his opinions and advice. This visit was a follow-up appointment after surgery on my finger in which I was discharged. I would like to say that his whole team have been excellent during my treatments. On this occasion, he was also able to advise me regarding another issue, which will need treatment.
I feel I have received exceptional care. My broken wrist was very slightly displaced and after a thorough review and discussion conservative management was agreed , which has certainly been the correct decision for me. I cannot thank Mr McLaughlin-Symon enough for his advice, regular reviews and general support. I felt very well informed and understood why we were pursuing the course of action agreed but also what could be done in the event the healing process did not proceed as desired. Fortunately it did and my wrist is in great shape.
A very positive experience from start to finish. Mr McLaughlin-Symon is very professional yet personable and made me feel relaxed and reassured from first consultation through to the operation and follow up.
