Mr Carlos is an extremely talented surgeon with exquisite bedside manner who provides the greatest care to his patients. He has a wealth of experience in the whole array of upper limb injuries from minor issues to the most complex cases. I have been fortunate to work with him directly for many years and I recommend him highly.
Mr Francesc Malagelada
Adrian is my "go to" shoulder consultant for surgical opinion and diagnostics. I find him to be both thorough and thoughtful, taking the time to listen to the needs of the patient whilst providing high quality care. Post-surgical cases always do very well, testament to his skills. I often recommend patients to see him and will continue to do so. Adrian is an excellent consultant and has a welcoming and friendly style that is both calming and refreshing.
