Very short with me. Didn’t want to listen to me. Saying that on my notes I had injection in back in 2018 when I never did. Was he looking a the right persons notes. I presume he was. I still have things in my NHS app that has never happened to me. He said I had an mri which included my shoulder. Just very disappointed with the way he comes across

A very satisfactory, all round, experience. Commencing with a detailed and thorough examination and diagnosis (including imaging). Proceeding through a surgical procedure backed up by a comprehensive after care package. I felt that I was in safe and experienced hands throughout. Thank you.
