AI Review Summary
This summary was created by AI based on recent reviews
Mr Scott MacInnes is professional and clear when dealing with patients. He explains all procedures in detail, giving excellent surgical results. Patients gain great pain relief and full shoulder movement. Mr MacInnes handles shoulder pain, rotator cuff repair, and shoulder replacement.
I had an Arthroscopic shoulder release for a frozen shoulder. I had limited range of movement in my arm which made simple things like getting dressed difficult. I have never had surgery before but this procedure promised the best outcome so it was a no brainer. The surgery went really well and I have followed the physio plan closely. Within a few weeks I could see improvements and by my 6 week follow up I was pain free with nearly full range of movement restored. I still have to keep going with the physio to build strength in the shoulder but this procedure has literally changed my life.
Absolute gentleman. Very down to earth and easy to speak to. Carnt recommend enough
