In January 2020, Mr Polyzois repaired a full thickness tear of my anterior supraspinatus tendon in my right shoulder. My whole experience was excellent. He operates at the BMI Runneymede, where all staff were excellent. Mr Polyzois was attentive and very professional at every step. Subsequently, he recommended physio with physicahealth.co.uk (also excellent and thoroughly recommended) and has then followed up with me regularly to monitor my progress. The operation has been successful and my recovery is progressing smoothly and on track.

I broke my left humerus in a work related accident in November 2018. Despite the excellent care I received by Mr Polyzois my arm would not unite completely on its own and therefore I was still in some discomfort and unable to use my arm fully over a year later. I discussed this with Mr Polyzois who was very informative with my options and it was agreed that I would need surgery to reset and plate my arm. Although this was a very daunting prospect for myself I was made to feel confident and at ease with the decision. My surgery took place in March 2020 and two weeks on from my operation my arm is feeling so much better from how it was before. The aftercare I am receiving is second to none, especially considering the extra precautions having to be put in place due to the current Coronavirus situation. I am confident that once I am completely healed from the operation and build the muscles up again with physiotherapy I will finally be able to get my life back to normal again. I cannot thank Mr Polyzois enough for his care and professionalism in keeping me fully informed as to what my surgery would entail so as that I was confident that this was the right decision for me.

My experience of Mr Polyzois is an excellent one. All qualifications aside, Mr Polyzois is a very comforting man to have in your corner. He mad me feel at ease and well informed from the start. I was very privileged to have my physio - Martin O'Connell - witness my partial shoulder replacement. He was very impressed by the level of care and attention that Mr Polyzois demonstrated during my operation - he even managed to cut right though a tattoo and stitch it back up without it looking altered at all. I cant thank Mr Polyzois enough! I have met three people since who have had work by Mr Polyzois, and they all speak very highly of him.

The whole experience has been totally satisfactory, the reduction in pain from the moment the operation was completed was significate. The after care and physio has really pushed my recovery forward, so I'm really please with the outcome. Thank you so much for make my life pain free for the first time in a long time.
