Patients understand their treatment options and report successful outcomes, noting his expertise and supportive approach during recovery. Reviews show common themes include carpal tunnel decompression and management of shoulder pain.
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.
Very friendly, approachable and professional.. Everything was explained in detail.
Very friendly relaxed atmosphere and before I knew it the procedure was over , well done to everyone 👍
Fixed me twice. Not going for round 3 but wouldn’t see any other for upper ortho
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.
Mr Robinson explains everything in an eloquent and easy to understand manner.
Felt very anxious at the beginning, but within a short period of time made very comfortable, calm ,knowing l was in good hands from start to finish a big thankyou .
all aspects of shoulder, elbow and hand surgery
