Mr Nick Little

Written by a NHS patient at Epsom General Hospital

Very pleased with the shoulder replacement, I had a few hiccups to start with, but now I’am not in any pain, just a few issues with movement and range of how I move my arm, the strength has gone but I still try to use it best way I can.

Recently Mr Little performed a shoulder joint replacement on my left shoulder. He explained everything prior to the operation and I felt I was in good hands. I am now pain free after three months and have a good range of movement which is improving day by day.

I visited Mr. Nick Little as a private patient at Ashstead Hospital. He listened to my symptoms and made a physical check of the hand I was having problems with, this turned out to be trigger thumb. Mr. Little ran through the options open to me and explained the procedure. I felt in safe hands. I was given a date for the procedure and found Mr. Littles secretary to be very helpful and informative. On the day of the procedure Mr. Little visited me and outlined how this was to be done. The staff at Ashstead were welcoming and gave great care. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Little or Ashstead Hospital.

What can I say ! 9 years ago I had surgery with Mr Little and he sorted out my frozen shoulder(left) with no problems afterwards . Fast forward the clock to now and I went to see him about my other shoulder(right) as I was experiencing yet again a frozen shoulder . I have just had surgery and have so much more movement in it . My final words to him were “ I knew you would sort me out “ and he did ! I recommend him to all my friends , he really is great !

I was first examined by Nick Little after a motorbike accident. My left shoulder was damaged and the bone sticking up due to a torn ligament. I had previously had physio but my movement was severely restricted and my strength very weak due to the injury. This was 10 months after the accident. Nick little explained that an operation was possible and that normally the operation was carried out on much younger patients in their 20's and maybe 30's. I was 62. He explained that a donor transplant would be used, I believe that was a tendon. I believe a relatively new type of procedure. The operation was an Acromioclavicular joint reconstruction and went well on the day. I was discharged the same day and given painkillers to take home with me with clear instructions. Nick Little's pre-op, on the day and post care was excellent as was his colleague Geoff Thistleton. I was referred to a physio (Ella Neary) who worked with me to get me moving and strengthening, she too was excellent. I had the op in June 2024 and my final post op assessment in April 2025. I am delighted with the outcome of the operation and so pleased that I had it. My mobility is as it was before the op and my strength is recovering well with exercise. I highly recommend D Nick little, excellent bedside manner and care throughout and of course his skill as a surgeon.
