Very useful to have an independent orthopaedic consultant explain in more detail the nature of my injury and route to recovery. This complemented the physio treatment with NHS and reinforced my necessary commitment to getting back to normal, which can take up to twelve months.

This was my 3rd hand operation for Dupuytren's but my first time using Mr Robinson. He immediately put me at ease. He clearly explained the disease and the options available. He was very approachable and allayed any fears. He was very engaged during my recovery. I have just been for my final follow up to be signed off. I am very pleased with the results, with my 3 affected fingers being perfectly straight and pain free. I am likely to require surgery on my other hand in the future and I will have no hesitation in asking Mr Robinson to take care of me at that point.
