Dr Mackenzie was fantastic. Beginning by clearly explaining the issue and the need for surgery before immediately scheduling it. The surgery itself seemingly went very well despite the complexity (or so I’m told, I was blissfully asleep) and the subsequent recovery of range of motion and general stability have been improving steadily. Delighted with the results and I can’t thank Dr Mackenzie and the team enough.
Dr Mackenzie took the time to explain what was happening with my frozen shoulder, booked an MRI quickly and has given me treatment options.
Mr Mackenzie has been extremely professional, reassuring and overall helpful. He took time to answer all my questions and explained everything clearly which helped alleviate most of my stress about my issue.
