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.
Mr Seagger performed shoulder surgery on me in May 2026, his professionalism and full explanation before and after surgery makes you feel really at ease. A true professional, lovely man and great surgeon, thanks again for everything so far.
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.
Great surgeon, personable, professional and knowledgeable
Felt that Mr Seagger was open, honest and provided options for the care of my shoulder, which were explained in detail.
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.
Thus is my second operation with mr seagger and just like my first one I am on the road to a full recovery thanks to him
Visited Mr Seagger on a number of occasions and recently had a procedure carried out by him. Very professional, courteous - listens and answers any queries openly and honestly. Would definitely recommend him.
Mr Seagger was clear at explaining everything, he was also very supportive with any problems I had. I am very pleased with the surgery he performed on my right shoulder.

Thank you for your kind words. I am very pleased we could help you.
Robin is excellent surgeon and colleague who was also one of my trainers during my surgical training. Highly skilled, professional and a great communicator,
