I injured my thumb whilst playing rugby, and saw Mr. Goon after I noticed significant swelling at the base of my thumb. Mr. Goon examined me and very quickly noticed that I had torn my ulnar collateral ligament. He said that surgery would be needed since the ligament was most likely completely torn and listened to all of my concerns patiently. He booked me in for surgery that same week and the care I received from Mr. Goon and his team was nothing short of perfect. He accommodated for the fact that I was going backpacking across Europe and put me in a splint instead of a cast, which allowed me more freedom whilst still protecting my thumb. The post-operative care that I have received has also been excellent, and at the time of writing this review, I am 14 weeks post-surgery and have regained functional movement of my thumb, for which I am extremely grateful and have in large part Mr. Goon to thank. Mr. Goon is an excellent surgeon and the fact that he listened to my concerns and was patient with me really made this process much easier for me.
