The combination of Mr Wijeratna's diagnosis and the physio exercises recommended by William-Lewis Rickard (Will) have resolved my right elbow/arm severe pain and discomfort issues without shockwave treatment or an operation. Can't thank them enough! I have waited a month after being signed off to post this review, just to keep an eye on my situation and the great news is I am still pain and discomfort free! Would 110% recommend Mr Wijeratna and his hospital team. They couldn't have treated this 70 year man old any better!

Mr Wijeratna during consultations was very clear and concise. Booked me in to surgery, follow up consultations and physiotherapy very fast. Detailed every step of surgery and asked if I had any questions. Very professional

Being epileptic and having severe seizures, caused my arm to dislocate an awful lot. I had a consultation with Mr Wijeratna and he was thorough from the word go. He requested I had a MRI arthrogram to ensure he fully understood the extent of my injury. He reassured me throughout and was realistic about the operation. The surgery was a huge success and the aftercare post op was second to none. I have since recommended him to two other colleagues and will recommend him to anyone with similar issues. I have made a full recovery with no complications and I am so grateful to have had him as my consultant. Thank you again you really have given me the confidence to be able to do the things I once enjoyed without the worry of my shoulder dislocating!
