Written by a patient
21st January 2018


I work as a physiotherapist and unfortunately I had to have a SLAP repair due to a sports injury. I am fairly pedantic (overzealous as my girlfriend tells me) and I wanted to make sure I had a decent surgeon to carry out the op. I was recommended Prof. Bijay Singh by a colleague and after some further research I was pretty confident with the choice. Consultants sadly sometimes present as slightly detached or "above" their patients/ colleagues.... this was far from the case with Prof. Singh. He was fully engaged, completed a thorough assessment and then explained the procedure and plan of action. Me being "overzealous" emailed him a ton of questions and I was more than pleasantly surprised to find he'd answered them all with plenty of detail! No one would enjoy the op or the initial 96 hours following surgery, but after that it really wasn't too bad. I may have known what I was doing regarding the rehab but there was plenty of guidance on offer had I chosen to use it. I can honestly say It is now 8 months on (this review is way overdue!) and I can do everything I was doing before the injury. I do still get stiffness with the shoulder, but this eases after 2-3mins stretching pre exercise. To clarify, I can now handstand walk, Olympic lift and I am attempting a channel swim in September of this year and the shoulder has not given me any issues for the last 2 months. I am genuinely happy to recommend Prof. Bijay Singh - I really am grateful.

Response from Prof. Bijayendra Singh

Thank you for your feedback and the email. I am grateful that you have provided a more than adequate response to what a patient journey can be with some of the shoulder surgery. As a surgeon I learn most from my patients who give a feedback as every patient contact (IMHO) is a learning opportunity to help the next patient. I always try to respond and give adequate advice to all patients as they need..
