Excellent surgeon. Performed shoulder stabilisation for my son. He has had a perfect result. Thanks
Each of my appointments with Mr. Scott MacInnes has proven to be an extremely positive experience, from pre-surgery, to my final ‘3 month’ post-surgery appointment earlier today. I am delighted with the outcome of my rotator cuff repair procedure, having already regained full flexibility in the shoulder, and with a noticeable daily improvement in strength, allowing me to resume ‘normal’ life, along with a range of sporting activities. Mr. MacInnes has always been completely reassuring in our discussions, with everything being clearly explained in great detail, but also in terms that are easily understandable to a lay person. His manner is exemplary, and I have complete confidence in his superb professional skills; I count myself extremely fortunate!
After suffering with severe shoulder pain for a few months Mr MacInnes suggested surgery was necessary. We had already tried steroid injections and another minor procedure which gave temporary relief, but the pain came back. Scott explained everything in detail using shoulder models and diagrams; the damage to my shoulder, what the operation would involve, and what I could expect in the weeks & months to follow. I am now 6 weeks post op and the pain has gone. Very happy with the outcome & highly recommend Scott MacInnes.
