Hand & Wrist Surgery

Trigger Finger

Every visit including operation was very good, positive and friendly from all members of staff.

Echocardiogram (Cardiac Ultrasound)

Palpitations

ECG (Electrocardiogram)

All positive!  The nurse was extremely kind and efficient and prof. Rider explained and discussed at length.

Hip and Groin Pain

Good as always. John is a great consultant and gave me options to mull over.

MRI Scan (Magnetic Resonance Imaging scan)

The ladies were very kind when I felt some fear about being surrounded by the MRI scanner. I was ready to go home before the scan but they reassured me and were very calm. I would have no hesitation in recommending the site which is clean, comfortable, and easy to access with plenty of parking.

Thyroid Radiofrequency Ablation

Dr Ahmad was very thorough, thoughtful and clear throughout the appointment. I went in there thinking I needed RFA, but after a thorough chat and explanation we decided together that it’s not needed just yet. 
I appreciate his time and effort making me feel comfortable and that it was my decision.

Steroid Injection

Joint Injection

I was extremely nervous and scared of the process. Dr Azam was very reassuring, explained the process and all went really well.

Genicular Artery Embolisation (GAE)

I recently had the GAE procedure on my left knee to try and alleviate the daily pain and enable me to carry on a normal life. I tried everything possible (creams, oils, tablets, massage and heat machines) to alleviate the osteoarthritis in my knees. My GP recommended a steroid injection but this was a temporary fix and physio did not work either. 

I read an article about GAE and by luck Royal Berkshire  Hospital was providing the GAE and my GP referred me to Dr Ahmad Al-Rekabi. We had an initial call to discuss the GAE procedure pros and cons and I was fortunate to have procedure (day patient) early Sept 26 

It has been nearly 4 weeks since the GAE procedure and the pain in my left knee has reduced massively and I seem to feel less pain in my left daily. I cannot recommend Dr Al- Rekabi and his team highly enough and I can’t wait to have the GAE procedure in my right knee.

I highly recommend anyone with osteoarthritis in their knees to get their GP to refer them for the GAE procedure

Being honest, I was unsure as to whether I was going to do through with the procedure, but after a lot of investigation into genicular artery embolisation and Professor Little's background in it and the way he answered ALL my questions and queries without any hesitation, I committed to the procedure - and I am hugely glad I did.

The experience I had was utterly amazing from all concerned, but especially Prof Little. He put me totally at ease on the day and was constantly engaging throughout, which totally removed all my fears and put me at ease from the off. That made a huge difference. None of my questions were met with anything other than great responses - moreover, with confidence, which for me, was the main factor.

I could go on and on about this, but I will end up this review by saying that for anyone looking for relief to knee issues like mine, I will never hesitate in recommending him to anyone and everyone that will listen. My eternal thanks for your professionalism and for putting me at ease and even more so for bringing this amazing treatment to us.
