Following a nasty RTA in 2016 I was referred to Mr Patel via NHS in 2016. He diagnosed the severe problem I was having with my right shoulder and arranged for my surgery. I progressed well and my right shoulder is repaired and functionals well now. 2 years ago my left shoulder became extremely painful and mobility started to be compromised and the pain intense and continuous. I remembered my exercises from the previous time but to no avail, I was becoming worse by the day. This time I was able to access physiotherapy via BUPA and was able to chose Mr Patel to be my physician once more. He assessed my mobility and pain and it was apparently a slower reaction to that original RTA. Mr Patel listened to my concerns and gave me options of treatment. I had 2 separate steroid injections in-line with the protocol which initially eased the pain but it returned and the pain was so intense that I was unable to sleep at night, it also compromised my life with the lack of movement and mobility. Surgery became the next option and I was given full information and was able to make an informative decision. I underwent a Left Shoulder Arthroscopy, excision of calcium deposit and acromioplasty. All care and attention was given to me. Following surgery the recovery was as Mr Patel had stated it would be. I am recovering well. I’m back to swimming, my passion and daily life is now pain free. I can sleep at night, hooray. I remain following my physiotherapists instructions and in a few months time my shoulder should be as good as the right one. Mr Patel listened to my concerns, he took my pain and lack of mobility seriously. He gave me constructive and professional advice at all consultations. Thank you
