I had the pleasure of being referred to Mr Karappaiah for Trigger Thumb.
From the first consultation I found him to be approachable, friendly and professional. After having a scan to confirm what he suspected to be Trigger Thumb he informed me of the options and we agreed to proceed with surgery. It was a seamless process and even on surgery day at London Bridge hospital he was clear on the next steps. I felt reassured and in safe hands. I am pleased that I have fully recovered and my thumb is now fully functional with no pain. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mr Karrappaiah

Mr. Karuppaiah was very approachable and professional with a friendly manner. He immediately identified the issue with my wrist, clearly explained the treatment options available and suggested the best course of action. The treatment worked and I am now pain free.
