Totally professional, very knowledgeable and explained all options thoroughly. A man of few words in terms of small talk, but absolutely top drawer in a business capacity, I would not hesitate in seeing him again for any future shoulder issues

Mr Turner helped to get motion back into my left shoulder and also checked that no underlying condition was causing it. Although I was only in initially to have a consultation, Mr Turner ensured that I had an x-ray without delay and went on to administer a steroid injection on the same visit. This helped to speed up my recovery and can only send a big thanks for his fast treatment.

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.
