I saw Mr Sforza for a frozen shoulder after the stages of the NHS referral times were explained to me at my initial GP (physiotherapist) appointment. During my first visit and afer investigations Mr Sforza was able to offer me a steroid injection and clearly explained every step & possible outcome. Unfortunately the injection didn't resolve the problem and after further discussions I opted for surgery. The surgery recovery was much less painful than I imagined and included intense physiotherapy which I did religiously. The outcome has been amazing. Just a few weeks post surgery I had an incredible range of movement, and 4 months post surgery I have been discharged with a full range of movement and no pain. I couldn't be happier and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mr Sforza if you have shoulder issues.

Dr Sforza is really professional and friendly making you feel at ease straight away. As a patient with a shoulder injury I was respected and heard with clear communication and clarity whilst describing diagnosis, procedures and treatment. There is always a friendly attitude from the entire staff and his secretary. With the care I received, I would recommend Mr Sforza.

Mr Sforza was a great practitioner and we agreed that he would write me a referral for Physiolistic for Shock Wave Therapy. I never received the referral - I did receive the bill for my appointment though!

I am very sorry to hear this. There must have been an electronic glitch or I might have forgotten and if so let me apologise about it. Unfortunately I can’t check as on the platform we don’t have access to your personal details. Please get in contact with my secretary and I’ll be happy to do a new referral or resend you the referral I had already done. Thank you
