From the outset Mr Papanna explained every aspect of my operations and what I could expect. Over a two year period I have had both my shoulder joints replaced and I have gained far more movement than I ever expected. I would fully recommend Mr Papanna to anyone requiring shoulder surgery. The aftercare that I have received has been excellent. David S
