Professor Funk diagnosed the problem with my shoulder immediately, I saw him, he examined me and referred me for an MRI scan which I was able to have immediately at The Wilmslow Hospital. I then saw Professor Funk straight after for a diagnosis. This meant I was only charged for one appointment rather than for two separate visits for a consultation and follow up. I was impressed by this. He gave me options - a conservative approach with physio or surgery. He didn’t push me to go for the more expensive option of surgery. Again I was impressed by this. He allowed me time to think about it. A week or so later, I decided on surgery and he was really responsive in working around my availability. The surgery and recovery were painless. The scar is really neat. The aftercare was second to none and my return to training was beyond my expectations. I am so pleased I went with Prof Funk. He is superb. I’m so impressed. I would recommend him to anybody with a shoulder problem.

If you have any shoulder issues and you want an honest, ethical opinion, then book and appointment with Mr Funk. He will explain things clearly, give you honest and ethical advice and a treatment plan tailored to your individual needs. From injections for pain relief to advice and a team of amazing physios he’s hands down the best. Luckily I haven’t had to go under the knife but I’ve every confidence that I’d be in the safest hands if I needed to. Not only has he helped with shoulder issues but has referred me to some of the best in the industry for other sporting injuries for back pain, my elbow and knee that I have had.

Had been visiting a very good physio (Wilmslow Physio) who referred me to Professor Funk.I had a frozen shoulder. It had been very painful for 3 months and was not getting any better. One visit - treatment on same day. A few physio sessions followed by deep tissue massages and I can now say I am cured. I can dress myself again. Thank you to Professor- very nice surgeon and great care and experience.

Full disclosure: I used to work as a Chronic Pain Specialist but retired from this 18 months ago. I currently work at Wrightington Hospital. When I started developing anterior right shoulder pain, especially worse when bench pressing at the Gym, I thought an old injury was playing up. I consulted Professor Funk privately at the Arm Clinic because of his reputation and speed of access. I also researched my condition online beforehand and came across his excellent website "shoulderdoc" which filled me with confidence that he was up to date and well informed in his speciality. Within minutes of my consultation he was able to diagnose arthritis in my acromioclavicular joint. A swift cortisone and local anaesthetic injection, followed by immediate relief, confirmed the diagnosis. Later that evening my shoulder felt really sore as the local wore off but I had been warned about this. After a couple of days my shoulder felt better once the steroid kicked in and I was able to return to the Gym within a week. The benefits of the injection lasted about 6 months before my pain returned. I managed to see Professor Funk again at this time and he was able to offer a 2nd injection. The same after effects occurred but this time the benefit from the injection has lasted 12months and is still ongoing. Admittedly I am not as active at the Gym as I used to be but I can sleep better now! Professor Funk is a colleague at Wrightington who took time out to treat me with professionalism and courtesy. He listened and examined at the same time and seemed to know from my description the cause of my pain. Overall it seemed the assessment took no time but the diagnosis was accurate and the treatment offered immediately. I used to need regular anti-inflammatory drugs to help me sleep but I am now off these altogether. I was seen at the HCA hospital in Wilmslow. This is a very modern facility with welcoming and attentive staff. I would thoroughly recommend both Professor Funk and the HCA hospital to anyone with a shoulder problem.

If I could have given more than 10, I would. I called and was accommodated on the same day for the consultation, MRI and injection. It could not have been a more perfect health experience.
