I was made very welcome and put at ease during my consultation and treatment. Everything was explained well and Mr Molyneux made sure I understood everything.

Mr Molyneux was very generous with his time ... he asked me to explain how I was feeling and give him a background to my injury. He then got me to do some movements and he monitored them and told me what his diagnosis was. He then pulled up historic notes and MRI scans and showed me as he confirmed his original diagnosis. He then explained next steps and outlined options. I left feeling very reassured that I'd done the right thing making the appointment and confident I understood what happens next.
