I had a problem with my left shoulder and the surgery and physio I have had has enabled me to get back to an active lifestyle
Mr Turner explained the reasons behind the problems I was having with both my shoulders and I was given a choice of treatment. I was happy with the treatment and the advice given.
Would highly recommend Mr Turner. Very patient-centred, empathetic and he really attends to patients needs and concerns, you really feel listened to and involved with your care. His care has ensured that my shoulder issue was diagnosed promptly. Subsequently he was able to effectively and swiftly address the pain I was feeling. I am now able to access rehabilitation well which is making a world of difference and my shoulder is well on the road to recovery.
Initially I was very unsure about my condition, however, Mr. Turner provided reassurance that the condition of my hand could be fixed. Tests were carried out over the following month then surgery was suggested. The operation proved to be very successful and, despite being prepared for subsequent pain, I did not experience either pain nor discomfort at any point. Further to the surgery, Mr. Turner and colleagues provided after-care which was reassuring, professional and continued to ensure a speedy recovery.
Mr Turner is very professional and was able to detect the issue and discuss a way forward, including organising an x-ray and then steroid injection there and then. He recommended physiotherapy and provided the relevant details for that.
Excellent explanation of problem, very friendly care and very good end result.
Very professional and competent, delighted with the outcome.
My experience was very good everyone was helpful and professional
Dr Turner explained the problem with my shoulder following an MRI scan. Surgery was necessary following the diagnosis. Dr Turner explained the whole procedure very professionally, after surgery Dr Turner completed his assessment of the procedure. I now have full movement in my shoulder, very satisfied with Dr Turner and would highly recommend him to future patients.
Mr Turner has been one of my trainers. He is an excellent teacher with a great experience on the management of upper limb conditions.
