I received first class help and advise leading to surgery by Mr Malin Wijeratna and his team at Spire Nottingham Hospital of my right collarbone clavicle which had been giving me considerable pain for about a year before consulting with Mr Malin Wijeratna we are now a few Months on from my Surgery and i am pleased to say that i am now getting back to my normal pain free self. I have have no concerns in recommending Mr Malin Wijaratna for the work he specialises in very experienced in his field and found him and his team professional and comfortable throughout.

I found Mr Wijeratna to be extremely knowledgeable and explained my condition and what was needed to rectify my medical problem. He was polite and happy to listen to any concerns I had.

I was referred with acute pain in my shoulder, Mr Wijeratna listened to my description of the situation carefully, sent me for an x-ray (which was so quick and Lisa was really friendly and put me at ease), and then diagnosed the issue and offered treatment options clearly and without using jargon. I opted for a steroid injection and it provided immediate relief. After a few days I had more movement and was able to progress through physio exercises. At a follow-up appointment 2 months later I was greeted warmly and sent straight through for another x-ray. All seems to be improving nicely so I have been discharged, can't recommend Malin or the Spire at Tollerton highly enough. Their covid-19 precautions were also very effective, including a phone call the day before my appointments to check for any symptoms.
