I had the privilege of meeting Mr Imam exactly a year ago when I had the misfortune to crash off my mountain bike! I smashed my clavicle into 3 piece, one part extruding our of my back. I also dislocated my shoulder joint but somehow had managed to out it back in and, by all miracles, not trap a nerve or blood vessel. I was operated on by Mr Imam who performed what |I can only describe as a layman, as a small miracle! Not only did he mange to reconstruct the clavicle secure a plate into place he managed reconstructed the area around the damaged shoulder joint. In Mr Imam's words he did 2/3 operations in one!! I returned to see him in outpatients a few weeks later and his delight at his work was plain to see! Since then I have enjoyed some fantastic care and treatment, not only by Mr Imam but also Andrew my physiotherapist at the N and N outpatients. His encouragement and challenging programme of exercise paid dividends and within a couple of months I was able to get out on the golf course and swing a club again...albeit badly!! Over the past year I have gone from strength to strength and the treatment I have received has been second to none! I would like to thanks Mr Imam and Andrew for the great care and time they have taken over ensuring my full recovery. Than k you Guys! I wish you every success Mr Imam in your move to London. With kind regards and thanks

I injured my right shoulder helping a friend to put a window in a boat. The injury had left my right arm virtually useless. Ok, I could move it around, but due to the pain, I was unable to exert any meaningful amount of pressure in any direction. I was referred to Mr Imam after an x-ray and shoulder ultrasound scan has shown three ruptured tendons and a full thickness tear in a fourth. A condition the ultrasound technician had referred to as “massive damage”. Mr Imam explained the injury to me and decided to send me for an additional MRI scan. On my second consultation, Mr Imam explained the surgical procedure, and that he felt he could correct all the problems using keyhole surgery done under general anaesthetic. I must confess that I was dubious about having surgery, but Mr Imam reassured me that I could expect much-improved shoulder function. At the time of writing, it is four months since my shoulder surgery, and I’m well into the physiotherapy programme. I have regained most of the arm movement I had before my injury. I still have some way to go, but I feel very optimistic that much of my former function will return. I have seen Mr Imam twice since my procedure, and he seems very happy with my progress. The first time was after two weeks, and I could barely move my arm. The second time was after fourteen weeks and I can now easily move my arm in every direction as well as raise it above my head. It is now just a matter of building up strength through physiotherapy, and I have been given a time frame of one year from surgery to achieve maximum possible use. I have nothing but praise for Mr Imam, his professionalism and skill as a surgeon. He has improved the quality of my life immeasurably. I feel privileged that I was referred to him. I must also mention the team of healthcare professionals that took care of me at the day procedure unit. They made a daunting situation (for me) seem almost like a walk in the park. Thank you all very much.

Mr. Imam is an excellent clinician. He is very knowledgeable, confident and he is really competent in his job. What make him unique is his compassionate, friendly and yet professional attitude. He listened relentlessly to my complains and he respected all my symptoms and genuinely tried to interpret the reasons behind those symptoms in a simple and easy yet thorough way. He gave me detailed explanation of the possible outcomes of each treatment given and additionally he requested the relevant imaging needed for my case. Mr. Imam is a huge credit to the hospital and the NHS in general.
