I first met Mr Patrick Goon in the Plastics department of Lister Hospital. I found the consultation was the first step of what I consider to be exceptional care. In October 2022 Mr Goon operated on my R Index finger pip joint for osteoarthritis. I cannot praise Mr Goon and all his team enough. From the moment of admission to discharge I received a high standard of care. Every action undertaken was explained fully, my questions were answered with expertise. The surgery was undertaken with a nerve block which meant I was fully awake. I was made to feel at ease, I chose some music to listen to, but I was also included in some conversation between Mr Goon and his registrar. I could hear the dialogue between them, discussing the procedure with Mr Goon having the time and patience to instruct / teach which is an important part of learning for junior doctors. It was a positive experience of which I thank Mr Goon for . Subsequent care at the physiotherapist hand clinic completed the whole experience. The surgery was highly successful and I am so pleased that my finger is now straight, functional with 75degree bend , pain free., something which I hadn’t experienced for a long time prior to the surgery, I am so grateful to the skill of Mr Patrick Goon.
