Good experience with Mr Papanna he explained and showed all my X-rays and booked me into see the physiotherapist with a follow up appointment in 6 weeks to see him. I trust and feel safe in his care.

Extremely pleased to be able to have the shoulder key hole surgery with nerve block (Awake Surgery)rather than general anaesthetic. Mr Papanna and the whole team in the operating theatre were excellent and kept me well informed throughout the operation.

I received wonderful care from the team that looked after me while on the ward for the right shoulder surgery .After the operation I had good physiotherapy and follow-up care in the outpatient clinic. Mr Papanna explained very clearly about my care that, I received in a very understanding way and he is very skilful. I highly recommend to my friends and family for shoulder conditions management at Doncaster Royal infirmary, if need arises.
