Follow up appointment with Mr Zhou after my carpal tunnel operation in May. Very pleased with the whole experience. The operation went well. Really impressed by Mr Zhou. Very professional and made me feel relaxed. Thank you

It was my best decision to have a steroid injection as results are very satisfactory.Doctor Mr Rui Zhou was very friendly and helpful.
Very satisfied. I was seen on time and he assessed my wound site with some helpful advise.
Dr Zhou, where do i begin, absolute first class service, Such a nice chap, really kind, professional and understanding and treats you like a human being not just a number. Spent a lot of time explaining the operation and what needed to be done, I'm fairly squeamish so he explained to my wife, when i had an appointment when he was away he left plenty of notes for the stand in doctor to look at. when/if i break something again ill be giving him a call, first class surgeon 10000% recommend.
I always believe it's important that patients understand their condition and treatment options, and I'm glad the time spent explaining everything helped put you and your wife at ease. Thank you also for recognising the efforts made to ensure continuity of care during my absence. Thank you once again for taking the time to share your experience.
Had my first CTS Operation with Mr Zhou, he was fantastic from start to finish, very professional, very reassuring and operation went excellently. Revisit to discuss my left CTS, again very professional, listens and works with me very very understanding and couldn't ask for better. Thankyou
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. I'm very pleased that your surgery went well and that you felt supported throughout your treatment.
