Professor Brownson treated my frozen shoulder with a hydrodilatation injection. Eight weeks on I have almost full movement and much reduced pain. I am delighted with the results and would definitely recommend him.

Before I came for a consultation with professor Brownson I was in a lot of pain and discomfort. I had my first appointment with him and was extremely happy that my concerns were heard and my pain and discomfort was seen to. The whole process from the first consultation to the day of the surgery to my follow up appointments have been more than I could have hoped for. The explanations were detailed, I felt informed throughout the whole process. During my healing process when ever I was worried and got in contact Professor Brownson got back in contact with me helped me with my concerns. I am extremely happy Professor Brownson was the surgeon who fixed my shoulder instability.
5
Very satisfied with the outcome of my surgery. Also the after care was excellent. Always informed on how I was progressing. Would recommend anyone for Spire.

Efficient. Reviewed and explained the position, treatment, likely outcome and go forward position at each appt - initial, post scan and follow up.

I have previously seen Prof Brownson around 7 years ago for and issue with my left shoulder that required surgery. I was able to recover fully and get back to my high level of sport performance. When I received an injury to my right shoulder I returned to Prof Brownson in full confidence that I would receive the best advice, treatment and care. 3 months on from my operation in November I am now recovered and returning to training without issue. I highly recommend Prof Brownson as I find him extremely efficient, everything is explained well and always made to feel at ease. I have recommended Prof Brownson to a number of others that have any shoulder issues and will continue to do so.
5
Absolutely brilliant! Always informative and thorough. He performed amazingly successful surgery and I have made excellent progress despite my 77 years! His personable approach is very much appreciated.
