I will like to thank Dr Sam Botchey for the outstanding care received to help me overcome my recent illness severe (OA) on the right knee. From the first consultation, referral for MRI scan, reviewing the result and the plan in place to administer the Arthrosamid injection. His gentle and sympathetic care for me is truly commendable and remarkable. Your listening skills is amazing. Your instructions, recommendations and treatment guide ensured I was at ease throughout. Your PA was always keen and approachable in a polite and friendly manner. I would always be grateful for the care I received from Dr Sam and team and will recommend your services to anyone. I am happy for you to post/share my feedback.

I had an impact injury to my right hand causing the little finger to spasm and lock ( Trigger Finger ) This made it very hard and painful to make a fist, hold a knife or fork or carry a cup of coffee without the possibility of the finger triggering uncontrollably. After an online Digital GP interview I was referred to Dr Botchey he performed an ultrasound scan and MRI on my right hand, confirming the damage was to the tendon / muscle of the little finger. At my second appointment he injected a steroid and local anaesthetic directly into the tendon. Within 10 days I had full articulation and control back without the need for surgery, he also confirmed that I had no arthritis, which was what I was told by the NHS I am extremely happy with my experience and outcome from Dr Botchey

I had 3 PRP Injections in my knee after chronic pain and a hamstring tear following an ultra marathon. The injections very quickly reduced the pain and after 6 weeks of physio I am 90% fit. I expect to be back to full fitness in 4-6 weeks. Would recommend the process.

Dr Botchey is a highly experienced Sports and Exercise Medicine Consultant who I have worked closely with over the past 12 months. I feel extremely confident in his ability for diagnosis under ultrasound, sound clinical reasoning and injury management planning. I love that he's a huge advocate for physiotherapy and rehabilitation but is also able to manage injuries acutely with various injections and shockwave therapy. I never have a doubt in my mind that when I refer a patient to Dr Botchey, they will receive outstanding care.
