Mr Philip Sauve

Written by a NHS patient at Queen Alexandra Hospital

Mr Philip Sauve is an amazing Surgeon. In addition he took the time to explain in great detail what was going to happen at each stage of the operation. He was kind and patient with me and always made me feel comfortable and at ease. I would highly recommend this clever man to anyone Lisa Johnson

My GP basically told me to learn to live with my base of thumb arthritis. Sent me away with painkillers. I felt despondent until I did finally manage to get a referral to Mr Sauve. I feel utterly blessed to have been treated by him. He offered me a Cartiva implant in my thumb, and explained the treatment in detail and the likely recovery process. He was patient, kind, professional and all this was matched by a fantastic sense of humour where appropriate. Two years on, I have zero pain, fantastic grip strength back in my hand, and he has transformed my life. I can’t recommend him highly enough. If you’re lucky enough to be referred to Mr Sauve, put your faith in him, he won’t let you down!

Mr. Sauve operated on my broken right wrist and inserted a plate with great skill and judgement on 22nd September 2021. He is a caring professional and a remarkable surgeon and I am so grateful to have been placed in his care. I was delighted to find that Mr. Sauve was so approachable and a very good listener. Thank you Mr. Sauve, anaesthetist Mr. Dunbar, his colleague (I cannot remember her name) and all the team of friendly but professional colleagues who answered my questions and put me at ease and looked after me so well. My wrist has healed very well. At my last appointment, Mr. Sauve showed me how to do exercises to improve movement in my wrist. I highly recommend Mr. Sauve, a brilliant surgeon with a caring nature. Thank you everyone at Queen Alexandra Hospital for all the COVID-19 precautions in place which made me feel safe.

I felt totally satisfied and reassured- would certainly recommend him .

After badly breaking my wrist playing badminton in March 2019 resulting in a comminuted displaced fracture of distal radius and ulna right, I can honestly say from the outset the treatment I have received from Mr Sauve and his team at the QA over the last year and a half has been brilliant. From having surgery to fit a plate to all the ongoing appointments and treatments from him and also from the excellent hand therapist (Cathy) and physio (Rachel.) Mr Sauve has always been so easy to talk to and has always had the time to listen to my worries and concerns regarding the best course of treatment. From not being able to use my wrist and hand in the beginning it is 100% better than I thought it would ever be again and being my right hand was a major concern for me. I still have slightly bent fingers and not quite full movement in my wrist but can do most things now and at my recent appointment he said hopefully things will continue to improve even more over time. I can therefore thoroughly recommend Mr Sauve.
