Mr Heasley treated my arm for tennis elbow and a calcium build up in the shoulder. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and professional at all times. He explained what all the treatment options were and quickly arranged for this to happen. I can't recommend him enough for his expertise and care.

I had a really good experience under the care of Mr Heasley. He was clear in his explanations, listened well, and made sure I understood each stage of the process. The procedure and follow-up were handled professionally, and I felt well supported throughout. The wider team were also helpful and reassuring, which made the whole experience much easier. I’m very happy with the outcome and would confidently recommend Mr Heasley to others needing shoulder treatment.

Throughout the surgery and afterwards Mr Heasley has been excellent. Friendly, happy to explain the procedures, really keen to know how I felt and how I was recuperating. And above all, the operation has made a huge difference to my quality of life I am extremely grateful to him and all the staff at Highfield.
