Dr Karuppiah diagnosed my shoulder pain and mobility issues. He recommended MRI and effectively administered a targeted injection, as well as physio which helped ensure a successful outcome.

I had dislocated my thumb and torn the ligaments
Mr Karrapaia immediately diagnosed this and operated on my thumb. He was really delightful and I had complete trust in him. The recovery was straight forward, but I was very good at doing the exercises! It was a very good experience for me and just felt lucky I found Mr Karrapaia.

My trigger finger keyhole surgery was a success and recovery period was short with healing being much quicker than previously experienced trigger finger surgery via a different consultant 2 years prior.
Mr Karuppaiah provided good information prior and after surgery and showed due care and diligence which give me a confidence for the procedure.
