We felt very reassured throughout my son’s surgery. It was a very complicated procedure, but everything was explained clearly beforehand, which helped put us at ease. The process was carried out with great precision, and my son was well taken care of at every stage. We are very grateful for the professionalism, care, and expertise shown by Max Horwitz.
Great professional, all made as convenient as possible for the patient. My child thinks Mr Horwitz is superman. Very pleased.
Mr Horwitz has a friendly manner. he is totally professional and explains things fully
Mr Horwitz has treated me previously and I find him very personable and approachable. He is clearly excellent in his field and is also a very good listener. I wouldn't think of seeing anyone else for the treatment of my Dupuytren's Contracture.
Dr Horwitz removed an osteochondroma that my son had on his hand since an early age. The surgery went very well and the aftercare was great. 5 weeks after the surgery my boy was back on the tennis court and could play excellent tennis. So far he has no issues and back to complete mobility. We are very grateful and can’t recommend him highly enough. His team was fantastic.
Mr Horwitz has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. His patience and expert knowledge ensures patient / surgeon trust is built, which put my 14 year old son at ease over a very complex surgery.
