Excellent treatment and most importantly outcome. I have had previous Dupuytren's procedures previously and can say with confidence that the operation by Mr Yanni was far in excess in terms of minimal pain (did not require pain relief) comfort (no sling required) and outcome with a full straightening of the tigers and thumb. Excellent all round

I saw Mr Yanni in January for a pre-assessment and he was so lovely. He explained why he thought surgery was the appropriate thing to do and was very clear with what would happen. I actually had my surgery on March 17th and although I imagine it was nearly the end of a busy day for My Yanni he was very positive and cheerful. I couldn't believe how quick and efficient the whole process was and how well the team in the theatre worked together. The most painful part of the process was the local anaesthetic but Mr Yanni was very good at distracting from that! The actual operation felt like nothing more than a bit of pulling and I think it was done in around 15 minutes. I was well looked after at discharge with plenty of care information. The follow up call from Mr Yanni was helpful and made me confident that everything was healing like it should. I would like to thank Mr Yanni for his professionalism, his confidence and positivity and his care.

I recently had surgery for severe Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Mr Yanni and his team were outstanding. The reassurance and care I received throughout the procedure was very efficient and professional. Thank you.
