Explained every step of treatment made to feel at ease with the whole process
Tim has seen me several times for finger problems. The most recent was the worst an he recommended surgery. Everything was organised excellently and the procedure took all of 18 minutes in theatre. Wonderful post operative attention and healed faster than expected. He is an excellent surgeon/specialist and I have no hesitation in recommending him.
Extremely knowledgeable and super comfortable to ask questions and feel like your in safe hands which you are

Wonderfully helpful. Made a frightening experience a “piece of cake”, many thanks to hi.
Faultless. Thoroughly explained procedure from start to finish
I came back to see Mr Crook because he successfully operated on my left hand and so I knew he would do the same on my right hand!
I came back to see Mr Crook because he had done a successful operation on my left hand so I knew he would deal with my right hand in the same way.
Excellent communication regarding the process and care. The outcome exceeded expectations. I have great confidence Mr Crook
When I met Mr Crook I was in constant pain and living on naproxen and codeine. He explained all the options to me. I wanted to have surgery and had thumb joint surgery with a tightrope ligament created. This went extremely well and I am now completely pain free. He is an excellent surgeon and was caring throughout, I have had really good aftercare from him and good physiotherapy which he arranged. I had a self pay, fixed price surgery package which was so worth it. My recovery pace has exceeded the physio’s expectations and my own.
