Mr Yanni and his team were great throughout my Carpal Tunnel surgery. Put me at ease through my anxiety of the procedure. And will feel far less anxious when I have the same done to my other hand. Thank you.

I can’t recommend Dr. Yanni highly enough! He performed carpal tunnel surgery on both of my hands at the Sloane Hospital and the relief was immediate. After struggling with pain and numbness, I noticed a difference right away, and the improvement in my daily life has been incredible. Beyond his exceptional surgical skills, Dr Yanni is a truly wonderful human being. He has such a lovable and charming personality that instantly puts you at ease. He genuinely cares about his patients, and it shows in the way he listens and connects with you. It’s rare to find a surgeon who combines top-tier expertise with such warmth and kindness. If I could give him more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. He’s an amazing orthopaedic surgeon, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my care. Highly recommend!
