I would highly recommend Dr Botchey. Very easy to talk to and explains options and best possible course of action clearly. Dr Botchey has a wonderful secretary who is very efficient and always responds in a timely manner. I am very happy with the results so far from my Plasma injection treatment.

I had an excellent experience under the care of Dr Sam Botchey and felt compelled to share how positive the entire process has been. From the very first consultation, Dr Botchey took the time to listen carefully to my concerns and symptoms. It’s clear that he genuinely values understanding his patients, which is also reflected in the detailed and thoughtful letters he sends after each consultation. Those letters accurately capture our discussions and provide clear guidance, which I found extremely reassuring. I underwent Arthrosamid treatment with Dr Botchey, and the results have been truly life-changing. The improvement in my symptoms and mobility has been remarkable, and the treatment has allowed me to avoid the need for surgical intervention. The outcome has exceeded my expectations and has made a significant difference to my quality of life. Throughout the entire process, the level of care, professionalism, and attention I received was exceptional. I always felt well-informed, supported, and confident in the treatment plan. I would highly recommend Dr Sam Botchey to anyone considering Arthrosamid treatment or seeking expert orthopaedic care. His expertise, patient-centred approach, and commitment to listening to his patients make a real difference.

I recently saw Dr Sam privately and couldn’t recommend him more highly. He was excellent from start to finish — taking the time to explain everything clearly, walking me through all available options, and making sure I fully understood each approach before moving forward. He ensured the appropriate diagnostics were carried out and followed up with detailed explanations once the results were in. I felt properly listened to, informed, and confident in the plan we agreed on. A genuinely thorough and professional experience.

Dr Botchey helped my back / hip symptoms with an open minded, knowledgeable and approachable manner which I enjoyed. At times even when prompted for answers, managing my expectations to recovery could have been explained and outlined more clearly which is also the case for the physio aspect of the visits. Overall I’ve experienced good care and significant improvement which is a big positive and Dr Botchey’s final summary sounds quite confident that the prognosis looks promising , but I do feel somewhat unsure of what to expect with ongoing full recovery.

I was referred to Dr Botchey following elbow pain, and after an MRI scan I was diagnosed with golfers / tennis elbow. Dr Botchey referred me for physio and shockwave therapy, which has helped greatly with my condition. At each appointment Dr Botchey was always friendly, professional, and I felt confident with his advice and treatment plans.

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.
