Mr. Yanni is a force of nature. One of those increasingly rare old school doctors who has a brilliant bedside manner, but is also confident, competent and works in a highly disciplined way that gives total confidence. Everything is well explained and superbly executed. I had absolutely no concerns about Mr Yanni undertaking my Trapeziectomy, the result has been fantastic and I highly recommend him to others.

Mr Yanni immediately diagnosed Dupuytren’s at my first appointment. He explained what the problem was and the procedure to improve it. I had a needle fasciotomy. Mr Yanni and his team worked in harmony and carried out the procedure quickly and efficiently. Everyone was very calming and pleasant throughout. Afterwards I sat quietly with a cup of tea and a biscuit. I was given full instructions which I followed to the letter. My hand is now fully recovered. Well done and Thankyou Mr Yanni and team.

Mr Yani discussed with me all my options at the initial consultation. All my questions were answered to my satisfaction . The operation was carried out very efficiently by Mr Yani and his team. The follow up telephone consultation was at the time and date agreed. Very satisfied from start to finish.
