Mr Roberts answered all my questions and was very helpful.
Mr Roberts was professional and thorough. I felt at ease and his explanations were clear.
Excellent outcome from reverse shoulder replacement . Rapid recovery with minimal pain . Mr Roberts is an extremely professional and skilled surgeon with a proactive approach to mobilising post operatively which helps reduce stiffness

Very thorough explanation re diagnosis and the course of action required. Answered my questions and made me feel positive about outcome.
Very good explanation assured me that the treatment was the one that would help me and I did. Took away the pain after a few days from the procedure and explained the next step of symptoms retur n.
I have been extremely pleased with the treatment I have received throughout the entire process. Everything was clearly explained, and I felt fully informed. The operation went smoothly and recovery has gone well.
