Mr Mackenzie was very pleased how overall operation and healing has went and am very happy about it just have keep doing my exercises but my left shoulder giving me problems but we both decided to wait till after Christmas to see how the left shoulder is then.
Overall an excellent experience, might have been more streamlined with attention to the sequence of events across the appointment.
An excellent doctor and a genuinely pleasant person. I had a partial distal biceps tendon rupture, and he repaired it perfectly using only a single incision. Three months after surgery, my arm is fully functional and has regained almost all of its strength. I am extremely pleased with the outcome and highly recommend him to anyone requiring this type of surgery.
Mr Mackenzie was my trauma surgeon who performed the operation and I have had several reviews after the surgery. I had a very good outcome from surgery and always felt well looked after.
I had x-rays taken very soon after arriving for my appointment. When I met with Mr McKenzie everything was explained to me and we had a discussion about my options for further surgery.
My treatment by Mr Mackenzie was excellent. Not only is he a good surgeon but has a caring manner.
Everything went well Initial meetings, Operation, Physio and Follow-up Follow up on 2nd June 26 (inc X-ray) was excellent and on time Wonderful!
I fully understood Mr Mackenzie explaing my scam today and all it entained i was aware that b4 my operation my shoulder was useless worse than useless i could do a thing with it . Can I say he is a wonderful can't down or make me feel inadiquite.. I think he and in December I seen a other member of this team and he thought then I was doing so well and the trays this time showed a improvement again on my shoulder eve n with a fall in December 25 .delighted with the crew from St John's looking aftercare until I got out
Very positive experience, although I admit to a slight misunderstanding at first. But we ended up reviewing both shoulders and this was very helpful.
