Mr McNab has been treating me the past few months with a rare bone condition in my hand. He has always made me feel at ease and always explained my condition and treatment plans very well, he takes interest in his patients and listens to what you have to say. I can whole heartily say that I know mr McNab is doing everything he can to help me and to ease my horrid pain.

Mr McNab has been helping me with a rare wrist condition for over a year. He is very knowledgeable and explains all aspects of the condition/treatment in an easy to understand way. He also listens and takes onboard suggestions, and has a factuaral aproch to alternative treatments. I would highly remomend Mr McNab for wrist problems. The only negative I have experienced while visiting Mr McNab at the Nuffield, is the amount of time I have had to wait between appointments, as I believe he only sees patients one day a week.

Mr McNab saw me in clinic before operating on my hand. He was extremely impressive - thorough, approachable, authoritative, caring and reassuring. He explained the nature of my problem, the treatment options available, and the possible risks and side effects. It's a scary process going in for surgery, but I felt entirely safe in his hands. I will need to have my other hand operated on in due course, and very much hope it is Mr McNab who performs that operation as well. I would also like to add that the service provided in the day ward at the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre was exemplary, with outstanding care by the nurses and the other doctors.
