This was a follow-up appointment. We had a good discussion about the pros and cons of shoulder surgery whilst reviewing the condition of the shoulder since the first steroid injection. It was an excellent discussion

I am extremely happy. I have been suffering for over a year in constant pain. My left arm/shoulder os now pain free and near normal. Dr Brown explained everything and was very pragmatic. I had an excellent result with him after wasting hours and multiple appointments with GPs.

3.5
He was very approchable and caring. However was unable to fix my scar to my hoped for standard. However it was not his fault as my immune system which probably was the cause of repeated infections was not due to his ability as a surgeon.
Hello. I'm sorry to get your feedback isn't as good as I generally hope for. I understand your scar isn't as good as you hoped for. Kind regards.

Your secretary was a bit slow in passing on any feedback from our meeting.
