My recent visits with Mr. Paniker were exceptional. I presented with constant wrist pain, and he took the time to listen attentively and investigate thoroughly. After the necessary scans and a follow-up consultation, he accurately identified the issue and administered a steroid injection. My wrist has been completely pain-free ever since. I am extremely grateful for his expertise, clear communication, and outstanding care.

I was extremely satisfied by all aspects of my treatment by Mr Paniker and his team which took place at Thornbury Hospital Sheffield. Mr Paniker was extremely professional throughout but also very approachable and flexible in terms of the timing of the operation to repair a detached thumb ligament.
