Having lived with a non existent non working shoulder for 2 years I was pleased to have it replaced. The operation went really well . I excercised every day under the guidance of my physio. I told Mr Macinnes it was the best thing I'd ever done. I thanked him profusely. I am so pleased I can do lots of things now that we're impossible to do. I am now able to hold up my hair dryer above my head and I can lift up my arm to peg washing on the line. I can't thank Mr Macinnes and his team enough. If you have doubts just be brave and start a new chapter.

Mr MacInnes has been a colleague of mine for 13 years now.

He has excellent communication skills and holds patient satisfaction at the core of all that he does.
