Mr Ali Phillips
Orthopaedic SurgeonAlistair is a brilliant surgeon to work with. He has a great manner with patients, who always come to their hand therapy feeling like they understand their injury and the next steps. He encourages hand and physiotherapy for his patients, and is approachable and easy to communicate with about the patients we share. I would recommend his services and trust you will be given excellent care.
