I completely fractured my humerus and Mr. Make was on call at Watford General that day, so performed the surgery over several hours to install a metal plate. He did a fantastic job enabling me to fully recover - bone set perfectly straight, clean straight cut, and facilitated ongoing support treatment (physio, etc). He also insisted on seeing me at his main location (Fracture Clinic in Hemel Hemstead), given I was prematurely discharged from Watford. He thoroughly assessed my arm / shoulder on each visit, made sure appropriate x-rays were taken, and offered reassuring advice / perspective when I thought things were worse than they actually were. I am very grateful to have got access to a surgeon like Mr. Make on the NHS.

Mr Makki performed the revision of a nasty clavicle fracture for me. He is very good at explaining the issues, the options, what to expect and how the healing process would progress, so that I always felt informed and was never apprehensive or fearful. Although he is obviously very busy, I never felt that I was being rushed, and he was very generous with his time, always explaining things at a level that I could understand. Clearly he is an excellent surgeon and doctor, but he is also a very kind, caring and friendly man. I am very grateful to him personally, and also to the rest of his team.

I had problems with my shoulder which meant that I couldn't raise my arm above waist level. This was impacting on my whole life, especially interacting with my grandchildren. Mr Makki and his team recommended day surgery to correct the problem. Before surgery Mr Makki made sure that I understood that I would have some pain in the joint for up to 12 months, and that I would need to attend physiotherapy. I am now three months post surgery and, whilst I do have some pain it isn't as severe as before and I can already raise my arm above my head. I also found that Mr Makki, and his team, were very approachable and I was made to feel at ease. He gave time to answer all of my questions. I am very grateful to Mr Makki and his team.
