Miss Ladan Hajipour 2019-04-12 Person 5 5 0

Ladan Hajipour is a cut above the rest. I am so lucky to have been referred to her. Her incredible surgical skills and proactive aftercare mean I now have full use of my thumb and hand following an accident just over a month ago where the eventual outcome would’ve been loss of use of my hand and eventual amputation of the thumb. Finding out from her I had 13 fractures in just one bone was a shock after mistakes at the previous hospital and delays that meant my hand was sat in a cast for a week and a half. On our first appointment Hajipour explained surgery was the only feasible option and under her care I have been given a new thumb. I can’t imagine the complexities involved with rebuilding a tiny, essential bone shattered into 13 pieces but it had to be done so I could use my hand again. Hajipour is honest and plain speaking but brimming with positivity and experience. I had complete faith in her from the moment I shook her hand. Today as I was signed off I noticed she had 31 patients on her list for the morning. Other consultants and practitioners had 10, 17. But Miss Hajipour doesn’t treat you as a number or case. She always makes you feel at ease; that she will do everything she can. Time after time she has reassured me and addressed any issue or problems arising, with prudence and kindness. And this is on the NHS! She’s truly a wonderful surgeon and not just that - a wonderful person. I can look forward to a good future now, with full mobility back and I owe that to this brilliant woman. Thank God my file landed on her list that day.
