After sustaining a car crash that injured my shoulder I was seen by Dr Seagger who promptly arranged a contrast MRI to diagnose what the injury was. I can’t thank Dr Seagger enough for the care and expertise he has shown throughout my shoulder surgery and recovery. As an ex athlete World Tarkwondo champion and currently International Zumba® presenter, my shoulder is incredibly important to both maintaining my fitness, strength and obviously my job, so choosing the right surgeon was really important to me. Dr Seagger understood how much getting back to full function meant to me and took my needs and lifestyle into consideration throughout the process. Thanks to his skill and the work he has done, I’ve almost regained full range of motion in my shoulder post surgery which is amazing since it’s only been 8 weeks I’m incredibly grateful for the effort he has put into helping me get back to doing what I love. I would highly recommend Dr Seagger to anyone looking for a surgeon who listens, understands their individual goals and genuinely wants the best possible outcome for their patients. Thank you, Dr Seagger, for helping me get back on track so quickly, sport has been my whole life and for giving me the ability to return to the activities and career I love.

We went to see Mr Seagger as my Dad was having shoulder and upper arm pain. Mr Seagger was very thorough, efficient and calm and understanding. He has an extensive knowledge and wealth of experience with shoulder issues. After an MRI, it was found that my Dad had torn 3 of his rotator cuff tendons. Mr Seagger gave us clear advice and support on next stages for recovery and left an open appointment booking for us to go again if needed.

Mr Seagger was very clear in explaining what my trestment options were and the oitcome of each. I was very satisfied with the outcome of the operation , while I still have a little bit of restricted movement in my shoulder it isn't causing me any problems. Mr Seagger told me before the operation that i wouldn't be 100% back to normal due to the nature of the injury.
