My issues were with my rotator cuff but I had other medical issues which didn’t help the discomfort. He was extremely kind, explained clearly and gave me a good deal of time. I left feeling much less stressed!

Following an ankle injury during the Leeds half marathon I had an x-ray at A&E which concluded it was a sprain. However, my pain continued for a further week and I decided to contact 360 Clinic to check for any ligament or tendon damage. Having used their service for a shoulder issue a few years ago I felt confident I would get the help I needed. Dr Rishi Dhand carried out a thorough examination and an ultrasound. His professional advice was to have an MRI as the ultrasound appeared to show a possible partial stress fracture and ligament damage. Rishi talked me through the ultrasound and explained what he could see. His professionalism, knowledge and expertise are so reassuring at a time when a patient is anxious about their injury. Rishi referred me to Living Care for the MRI. He then rang me the evening after the MRI with the results. It was as he first thought, a stress fracture at the base of my Tibia and a smaller one at the join with my Fibula plus a tear in my AFTL. Dr Dhand made a phone call to the hospital orthopedic team to arrange for me to go early the next morning for a boot to protect my foot and to get on the fracture clinic list. From first seeing Dr Dhand to getting the MRI and subsequent boot and crutches at hospital was all done within a week (which included a Bank Holiday). The patient service I've received from Dr Dhand is outstanding. He has gone above and beyond to help me. His commitment to patient well-being is clearly a priority, from phone calls in the evening to letters to my GP and early morning emails responding to queries at 6am, his communi...

I have consulted Dr Rishi on two occasions: once for a diagnosis (arthritis in my knee) and a few months later for a steroid injection. On both occasions I was impressed by the clear explanations of my condition and when the injection was delivered the whole process was again carefully explained and the injection smoothly administered. I couldn’t more strongly recommend Dr Rishi

I had suffered with my shoulder and arm since October and was unable to see a local consultant until January with possible treatment up to 12 weeks later so we decided to check other areas and came across Clinic 360 and was seen by Dr Dhand within 5 days of my enquiry. Dr Dhand was very thorough with his analysis of my problem and diagnosed a frozen shoulder. We decided to proceed with treatment and although quite painful at the time the treatment has been very effective and I have quickly regained use of my arm with now very little discomfort. I cannot recommend Dr Dhand enough for his caring approach and expertise.
