Review
This is a little late but no less sincere. Mr Wijeratna was what a Doctor should be, kind, understanding and easy to talk to, also easy to understand. He replaced my right hand shoulder in September 2024 it is a great success and I have no fear when he does my Left shoulder. The delay in writing this review is because I lost his card, I am pleased to have been able to write today! Jacqueline Dent.

I would definitely recommend Mr Wijeratna he listened to me particularly during the initial assessment meeting. Throughout the time I was under his care he explained the progress of my treatment to me, in language I could understand, This resulted in me feeling very confident about having this operation. This model continued during my final appointment with a thorough assessment being completed prior to discharge. In terms of a supportive suggestion I would have found it helpful to have had a clearer awareness as to the extent and nature of the total loss of control/use of my arm due to the anaesthetic. However by the following morning it had improved. By wearing the sling I was able to do my personal exercise plan, albeit on a reduced level.
