Mr Auplish explained the procedure at the initial consultation and then again on the day of the procedure. He explained about the blocker being used to numb the area and the recovery period. He spoke to me as the procedure was being carried out and was very reassuring. After the procedure the wound was strapped, after 2 weeks the strapping was removed and my hand was almost healed. By the time of my final consultation, my hand was healed, there is next to no scar and I have full movement and feeling in the fingers. An excellent job extremely well performed, Thankyou.

I found my whole experience very calming and satisfying. Everyone was very professional in their duties. My only minor concern was that after my procedure I was returned back to my room where I was offered tea and toast. Being diabetic I was hoping for something more substantial. However, this does not detract from my overall experience. Thanks to all concerned.

Put me at ease, explained the diagnosis clearly, offering various solutions to my wrist problems. A rapid recovery following treatment that I am delighted with. Back to gardening, golf and have no pain whatsoever. Recommended.

Mr Auplish has been amazing. He is professional but also friendly and you always feel comfortable. He always seems genuinely interested in how you are and your personal circumstances. I struggled with my hand for a year before seeing Mr Auplish and he has finally sorted this for me.

Mr Auplish was very professional with a relaxing manner who explained everything, from my first consultation to the operation and my follow up appointment. I never thought after not being able to move my trigger finger for months , that 5 weeks on, to date , l have an almost straight finger and can now make a fist. I would recommend Mr Auplish, his team and the medical students who made it so easy on the day of my operation. A first class consultant/ surgeon.

Mr. Auplish is a brilliant young man and surgeon.i had both Carpel tunnels dome and both were very successful. He explained every thing before and after. He has a lovely bedside manner and I can only say I wish I could be an octopus because I would have 6 more arms to fix. Thank you Mr. Publish. You are fantastic.
