First class from beginning to end … Mr Auplish has done a great job on my trigger finger, plus all the follow up appointments. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome.

Mr Auplish performed a quite evasive and unusual operation on my right hand with the outcome being very successful . From the start Mr Auplish was friendly and professional and kept me totally informed with what the operation would entail. I would have no doubt in recommending Mr Auplish and his team if you require and operation. The care i received was amazing.

Mr Auplish was absolutely lovely to deal with. He took the time to listen to my symptoms and clearly explained all the options available to me. As someone who can feel quite anxious in hospital settings, I really appreciated how he put me at ease, which made the whole experience much easier. I never felt rushed during my appointments and always came away feeling clear about the next steps, with all my questions answered. He is both personable and professional, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reassuring consultant.

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.
