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.
Mr Seagger is an excellent, highly skilled, and competent surgeon. Over the last 18 months or so, he has carried out two significant and very successful operations for me. The first being decompression surgery on my ulnar nerve at the elbow, and the second arthroscopic shoulder decompression surgery. Both surgeries were highly successful, relieving me of a lot of pain and discomfort, particularly my shoulder which had been an issue for many years until I met Mr Seagger. I was very nervous about my operations but, I needn’t have worried as Mr Seagger was very kind and understanding and put me at ease. I am extremely grateful to him for all the help he has given me, I feel like ‘I’ve finally got my life back’ and would wholeheartedly recommend him to family and friends alike.

Kind words. Thank you. Glad to have made things a little easier
I opted to see Mr. Seagger after carefully reviewing his specialities and expertise and he seemed to have the right credentials to assist me with a troubling shoulder injury that was preventing me from enjoying tennis and also causing me to have problems sleeping properly. A thorough examination ensued on meeting Mr. Seagger and first Xrays were taken which proved to be somewhat inconclusive, so an MRI scan followed. This showed two separate problems of tendonitis and also arthritis within the shoulder joint. After discussion and debate between Mr. Seagger and I, we agreed that we'd see if a cortisone injection would benefit as this would help determine future actions, whether the outcome was good or bad. The short term result of this wasn't superb but the pain had lessened considerably and over time, (now nearly 4 months) the pain has virtually disappeared and I'm able to fully resume all previous activities that caused problems beforehand. Mr. Seagger has been professional throughout and also very good in explaining very clearly (in layman's terms) exactly what could be determined from the scans, what the available treatments and likely outcomes were and what future steps could be taken, dependant upon those outcomes. Hopefully the pain will stay away and I will have no need for further treatment but if this problem should re-occur, I would have no hesitiation in contacting Mr. Seagger again.

Thank you. Very kind.
I have suffered for 4 years and had severe pain for 2 years. 40 mins with mr seagger has answered so many problems and given me piece of mind of how to continue...really first class top consultant thank you
