AI Review Summary
This summary was created by AI based on recent reviews
Mr Iain D M Brown is professional and gives clear explanations. He shows competence in diagnosing and treating shoulder conditions, including complex tendon repair and steroid injections. He listens to patient concerns, provides comprehensive information, and offers clear treatment options. Some patients mention consultations felt hurried; the most prevalent concerns addressed by Mr Brown are shoulder pain and rotator cuff injury.
Professional, calm and friendly. Put my mind at ease about the treatment and injection was not as bad as I'd expected!
This was a follow up to a previous shoulder xray with a view to a shoulder replacement. Mr Brown confirmed this was the right track but also suggested a pain relief injection to reduce pain in the short term. Very helpful.
Iain Brown is what I would say the ultimate professional, fully transparent with all information and has an excellent bedside manner which is what all doctors should strive to deliver
The only thing that I did not like was the length of time I had to wait for the MRI result.
I’m sorry but I don’t have control over MRI scans and when they get done. We are acquiring a new MRI scanner and area which should make this much better. Thank you for the feedback.
Mr Brown explained diagnosis very well indeed and the steps taken to resolve my shoulder issue ina clear and concise manner.
As always very helpful, knowledgeable and looking for the best outcome for patient. Always wiling to answer questions or concerns honestly.
Mr Brown is a very pleasant surgeon and extremely competent. He managed to repair tendons in my shoulder which previously were told were irreparable. His secretary is excellent and responding to my queries to Mr. Brown and both have been very patient with me. His matter is very pleasant and was good at sharing details of my operation and answering questions. He has a good sense of humour which often is lacking in surgeons! I am happy for Mr. Brown to view my comments.
Thank you for your vote of confidence!
