My experience was very good everyone was helpful and professional
5
Dr Turner explained the problem with my shoulder following an MRI scan. Surgery was necessary following the diagnosis. Dr Turner explained the whole procedure very professionally, after surgery Dr Turner completed his assessment of the procedure. I now have full movement in my shoulder, very satisfied with Dr Turner and would highly recommend him to future patients.
5
Absolutely fantastic in his manner and the execution of the surgery he performed. An excellent surgeon and a very neat scare
Thankyou for your review. At our last consultation, you had told me that you were delighted with the appearance of your scar - it seems that the autotext changed the word "scar" to "scare" in your review. I am very pleased that you are happy with your treatment and wish you all the best for the future.
