Mr Iain D M Brown
Tim is a great colleague. We work together at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh and he has an excellent rapport with colleagues and patients and an excellent bedside manner. He has great clinical acumen and superb surgical skills. He would be my go to person for most lower limb trauma and sports injury conditions were I or one of my friends/ relatives to need treatment.
