I first met Sunil in 2012, when after 3 trips in a week to A&E in agony, i was referred to him with a spontaneous winged scapula. I cried with relief when i left his room, finally someone who listened, who not only understood what i was saying, but genuinely seemed to care. He said he would do everything within his power to make it better and he didn't let me down. Sadly though my body did let me down and over the last 4 years i have had several different problems with my shoulders that have left me in pain, without sleep and unable to carry out normal everyday tasks. Sunil has been there every step of the way, and his unwavering dedication in trying to find out why my body keeps failing me has been truly outstanding and i cannot thank him enough. The last few years have been incredibly difficult for me but knowing that i had him on my side made it somehow more bearable. Sunil's dedication to his patients is beyond reproach and he is, without doubt, the most caring and compassionate doctor that i have ever known. So when he told me the news that he would be leaving, i was devastated, but i have no doubt that my loss will be York's gain. Writing this has been incredibly hard as i really cannot find enough complementary superlatives to describe this truly amazing man. I wish him every luck in his new and exciting journey and i will miss him terribly. Thank You Sunil, your one of a kind. Tracey Noakes

For me, this man is a legend. I had been suffering with an ailment on my left elbow for the best part of 52 months. Not weeks, months. this issue has taken over my life. I have spent at least 48 months living on Tramadol well in excess of the prescribed limit. I was first seen by Mr Auplish about 28 months back which, at the point of last April, a procedure was carried out. On the lead up to this, Mr Auplish discussed all and every option. I was at that point, even saying it jovially, quite prepared and happy to have relinquished my left arm to stop the pain. I gave Mr Auplish full carte blanche to do whatever he saw fit. Unfortunatly, the procedure was not a sucess. Did he give up......NO! He kept on, exploring, testing and with me saying repeatedly, " take my arm" and that I was going to go and induce a " catastrophic trauma" to the joint myself, ( shows just how low, depressed and disppondant I had become), I went under the knife again on 5th November this year. He stood with me before the operation, both of us laying our cards on the table and he promised me that one way or another short of loosing the limb, I would be sorted. I saw Mr Auplish yesterday afternoon and I am beside myself with happiness and relief. In 2 weeks I am now pain killer free, there is minor pain due to the effects of the operation, which I know will be there and over my recovery period will diminish. We spent a long time, more of it me telling me how greatful I am after my consultation. Mr Auplish told me how I had made his day where in reality it was him that has made my life livable again. Mr Auplish.....Sunil.... I will be forever in your debt. I know your move is coming up and I wish you and the family all the best for the new life but, you have been lumbered with me as a friend. Once again Sunil.... thank you from the bottom of my heart. Marc

From the brink of near suicide this gentle gentleman has helped me to live again - All that is positive about him as a person, a consultant and a surgeon has already been said in previous reviews. Mr Auplish not only takes his cases to the limit of his department, he goes beyond to ensure that every avenue is explored in what has been seen as a hopeless case by others. He listens draws on every bit of knowledge he has and resources available to him to get a diagnosis then follows up to ensure the treatment is correct - I am sure much of this is done outside of working hours. Sunil I owe you my sanity and my life - thank you for everything I hope everything goes well for you and your family in York,you will be a huge loss to Queens Hospital and look forward to meeting up next time I am in York You are one in a million - thank you My very best wishes John Mason

What can I say........ amazing, awesome, brilliant.....I could go on and on. Mr Auplish was recommended to me by another consultant who I could not be more grateful to. I met Mr Auplish about 3 years ago when I first had problems with my shoulder and thumb. What an amazing person I thought, the time he took to speak to me, the empathy he showed, the way he explained the problems I had with both my shoulder and thumb, I knew I was in great hands and I needn't worry about anything as he said "I can make you better". That's all I needed to hear!! As a born worrier his level of expertise meant everything to me. He made me feel relaxed and reassured me about everything. I left everything in his hands and let him look after me. For a doctor to understand his patients like he did with me meant everything, everyone is different and he absolutely recognised that. He recognised by just speaking to me that I was a worrier and that I needed help not only for my shoulder and thumb but with my mental outlook on life. He recommended me to see a counsellor, he wrote to my GP and within weeks I was being treated by a psychologist and having CBT sessions. When I saw him again he was so happy to see how much these sessions had made a difference to the way I was thinking and how decisive and reassured i seemed. What I loved about him was that he didn't rush into anything but gave me the opportunity to to get better with physiotherapy and when that didn't work recommended steroid injections and only recommended surgery at the last resort after 3 years of seeing him. A few weeks ago I saw Mr Auplish again as the pain in my shoulder had got so bad and he had already warned me that if the pain did come back he would resort to surgery and that is exactly what I am now waiting for. On my last consultantation with him he spent an hour, yes an "HOUR" with me explaining what he would be doing during surgery and the prognosis. And then .......... He drops the bombshell that he's moving to York. OMG, I was stunned and lost for words! I started getting teary!!! "Who's going to look after me?" He was so reassuring and explained all the plans he had in place to ensure he still saw his ongoing patients following surgery and aftercare. I am now waiting for surgery on my shoulder in the next few weeks and I know I will be in great hands with Mr Auplish. All I can say is that all you people in York are so lucky to be getting an orthopaedic surgeon as great as Mr Auplish. I could go on and on and on praising him but I am sure you can all see from what I have written he truly is an amazing person not only an amazing doctor. My husband and I wish and his family the very best in York and I will certainly be travelling to York if and when I need to see him. It's a small price to pay when you have a doctor so well respected and brilliant at his job. All the very best Mr Auplish Fariha and Yasar Raza
