I had a most painful shoulder, eventually resulting in my complete inability to use my right arm at all, and it just dangled by my side. The excrutiating pain badly disrupted my sleep. Eventually I was referred to Mr. 'Desai and, wow, what a difference. After x-rays, he showed them to me and explained what was wrong and said I definitely needed a replacement shoulder. I wasn't waiting too long before the op was performed and completely changed my life. I can now use my arm completely with no pain. Throughout the whole time Mr. Desai made sure that I was comfortable with everything and both before and after the procedure kept me in the picture of what was happening and what to expect. Giving me complete confidence with no fear. I cannot thank him enough.

I fell which resulted in a dislocated shoulder and a very bad tear in muscle, a year later Dr Desai operated [ not his fault for the delay] and I cannot praise him enough. From being constantly in pain, unable to perform normal actions , even writing for more than five minutes before I had to rest my arm I can now carry out all my jobs without pain , I can drive again, write for as long as I want to. At the moment I am still having difficulty raising my arm to full stretch but this is continuing to improve with exercise.

Mr Desai gave me the greatest care from start to finish, I was a difficult case with a bad break to my leg and he fixed it perfectly with a very neat scar! After care was also fantastic. Great surgeon

When I met Mr Desai he listened to my concerns about my shoulder and although I didn’t have a lot of pain my movements were limited. He told me he thought an operation would improve my movement even at my age of 64. It was only 7 weeks till my operation. I was very nervous of how much pain I would be in afterwards I nearly backed out of having it done. On the morning of my operation Mr Desai talked me through what was going to happen also the anesthetist came to talk to me I told him of my worries of pain afterwards. The care of everyone was absolutely brilliant. I came round afterwards and my arm was numb from my shoulder to my fingers. I was told this would last 12 hours so was waiting for the pain to kick in. I can say with all honesty I never had any pain after my operation I was so relieved. I did all the exercises the physio gave me and I now have a lot more movement in my arm and shoulder. I would thoroughly recommend Mr Desai and all the staff at St Hughs.
