I came to Spire with a recommendation to see Prof Brownson. Revision surgery to my shoulder was offered by Prof. Brownson on the basis that he would not carry out any surgery unless he could improve my condition. The surgery has been as successful as it could be and I am grateful for it. I have been kept informed in the greatest detail of my progress at each of my appointments.

Excellent surgeon. The best of the best. Extremely happy with result.
