My experience was excellent and I have had no pain and should have had it done sooner post operation my hand felt normal with no pain or tingerling
Tim Crook was very thorough in every aspect of the process. I was made to feel at ease throughout and am very pleased with the end result!
Very positive. The pain in my wrist was diagnosed accurately on my first visit and the subsequent operation I had has been a success. Everything was clearly explained and I was able to make an informed choice. I am a self pay patient and I thought the cost of Mr Crook’s expertise and the procedure was good value as I am now pain free.

I first saw Tim Crook around five years ago regarding the carpal tunnel syndrome. I decided on the surgery after the symptoms became unbearable and impacted on daily life. He is a charming man who explained the remedial procedures available clearly. He has been excellent from start to finish and I’m very pleased to be out of discomfort now.
Very pleasant manner. Explained the situation at every stage. Put me at ease.
