Visited Mr MacInnes he was friendly and informative and gave me a clear plan
The appointment check up following shoulder operation went well and I am confident to recommend if required.
3 month follow up following shoulder replacement. Shown xray Checked movement & wound All done very professionally & personally Very approachable
Today went very well i’m pleased with my progress because Mr Scott Macinnes did a fabulous job
Mr. Scott MacInnes has been exemplary in his general manner and professionalism, in each of my appointments with him. Everything has been explained extremely clearly, and I have complete confidence in his expertise. It is now just six weeks since my rotator cuff repair procedure, and already the shoulder feels almost ‘normal’! I count myself very fortunate indeed, to have been treated by Mr. MacInnes.
A 1st class service from start to finish. No more to be said.
I will put it like this for the last 3yrs my left shoulder joint due to an accident in in 2010 was 20% functional and thanks to Mr Macinnes' s operational skills I now have 100% functional use of my left arm.
It was suggested by a physiotherapist that a shoulder replacement may not work. I could still be in pain and movement may not be any better that I had then. I ignored him and went ahead and had a replacement at DRI in Doncaster. It is the best thing I have had done. I was pain free immediately after the operation and my shoulder feels exactly the same as my other one. Absolutely brilliant and no pain or restrictions whatsoever. I would highly recommend the operation to anyone who has doubts

Mr Madhavan Papanna
Orthopaedic SurgeonMr MacInnes has been a colleague of mine for 13 years now. We trained in South Yorkshire together as registrars and started as consultants together within a few months of each other at Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals. During that time I have witnessed him deal with some complex trauma and elective surgeries. He always strives to deliver first class surgical care and operates on every patient with the upmost care and precision. He has excellent communication skills and holds patient satisfaction at the core of all that he does.
