I had an operation on my right elbow to remove a bursitis at Pinehill hospital in Hitchin. Mr Rumian carried out the procedure and I am delighted with the outcome. He is an expert in his field and highly professional . He answered my questions in a knowledgeable way and at all times I felt safe and secure in his care .

From the outset, Mr Rumian was excellent. From the first consultation, I constantly felt I was in good hands. He explained each step, the diagnosis and the treatment clearly, and was open and honest as to the recovery time. On the day of surgery, from the second I arrived and met Mr Rumian and his team, I felt reassured and left with a successful (and complex) operation completed. The aftercare from him, and the physio, has been exemplary. I am thrilled that 14 weeks post surgery the operation has been a total success, and I am on a path to a complete recovery with a return to totally normal use of my shoulder; the very best of outcomes. I cannot recommend him enough.
