I recently had an EPL tendon transfer performed by Miss Phillips, and I couldn’t be happier with the care I received. I have been under her care for the past 18 months, and throughout that time she has always been professional, reassuring, and made me feel completely comfortable and confident in my treatment. The surgery itself went very well, and I am recovering really well. My scars are minimal, which is a testament to her skill and attention to detail. I always felt that I was in safe hands, and every step of the process was clearly explained to me. I am incredibly grateful for the excellent care and support I’ve received from Miss Phillips and her team. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing hand surgery or specialist treatment.

Miss Phillips is a totally professional person who made me feel very at ease and took the time to ensure I understood everything about my forthcoming procedure. This followed on through to the procedure and my final appointment to ensure my hand had healed properly and to both her and my satisfaction.

Post care following a difficult wrist fracture that required surgery. Extremely happy with my care. I am a Physical Education teacher and Mum of a toddler and was very apprehensive about how my mobility may be impacted post surgery. I have about 95% mobility compared to pre surgery, very little pain and I am back teaching and playing sport fully. I am extremely grateful for the care I received and thankful to all staff involved.
