Excellent recommendation to have the operation and early indications are that it has worked much better than trapeziectomy. Mr Read has been exceptional throughout and I am (so far) delighted with results.

Very approachable and at the same time professional. Had a nice relaxed manner when carrying out my minor operation. Mr Read contacted me both 2 weeks and 2 months after the operation to make sure all was as it should be, which it was. Really pleased with the outcome of the Carpel Tunnel operation and would definitely recommend Mr Read.

Jeremy has recently replaced my right CMC thumb joint with a prosthetic, having done the same on my left hand earlier in the year. Now, both are approaching a condition that they were in, say, 10 years ago; long before my bone-on-bone osteoarthritic agony I had last year. So I have no regrets; he did a fine job. Externally, there is hardly any sign of the either operation at all.
