Reviews
Although my original injury wasn't seen on an MRI scan, this was rectified during surgery and my rehab was extended. Mr Hatrick has done an excellent job on my shoulder and explained and shown me what was found in detail. Although still recovering and healing, I'm already delighted with how much my shoulder is usable and the massive decrease in every day pain. I would recommend Mr Hatrick to anyone.
I was referred to Mr Hatrick following investigations on my left shoulder with the NHS which had highlighted a torn rotator cuff and osteoarthritis. Fortunately I had private medical insurance which covered my resulting treatment.
The initial recommendation was to have a steroid injection which I had and unfortunately this did not alleviate the problem. Mr Hatrick was very thorough in describing the problem with my joint and the demands of an ensuing operation involving a reverse total shoulder replacement. I felt able to ask many questions about the operation and recovery and Mr Hatrick was professional and kind in dealing with my queries.
Throughout the operation and subsequent follow up I felt I was in the hands of a highly knowledgeable surgeon and I would highly recommend Mr Hatrick.
I was always seen on time and with the greatest care couldn't ask for greater care and advise all the way from first appointment.
Mr Hatrick listens and is very informative and thorough.He was also kind and I very much welcomed his conservative approach.
I received excellent treatment from Mr Hatrick and I would highly recommend this consultant.
Mr Hatrick operated on my left shoulder recently. I booked a private consultation and from the consultation was given an MRI and further assessments by the MSK clinic.
After returning to Mr Hatrick we discussed the findings. I could not afford to proceed privately so Mr Hatrick arranged my surgery via the NHS.
Mr Hatrick was very clear in his explanation of the problem and what intervention was necessary. At all times I felt confident I was in the hands of a highly knowledgeable professional.
Post op, Mr Hatrick explained that all went well and detailed what my recovery would involve. I had further post op assessments to monitor my progress.
I am extremely satisfied with my treatment and care.
I would highly recommend Mr Hatrick
