Professor Mohamed A. Imam

Written by a patient at Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital

I originally paid for a chiropractor - 5 treatments, no improvement - £200. Told to refer to my GP. I did this and was referred to Global for X-ray. Was told I had arthritis, fair enough I was now 70. I insisted that I might have arthritis but the problem was not skeletal, but muscular, sinews, tendons or something - I am not a doctor. Sent for physio - several treatments was told that this was not working. Luckily at Community Hospital, Bowthorpe Road, Norwich, saw another Dr/Consultant, having been referred by the physio, and she asked what the problem was, I said there seemed no point in relating what had happened as no-one would listen. She said I am listening, thank God. I was then given an ultrasound which showed other problems and I was referred to Mr Iman. For which I will always be grateful. I explained to Mr Iman that I had been caring for my aged Mother (93) who hung onto my arm whenever we went anywhere, she tripped and I grabbed her to stop her falling and my shoulder/arm was painful and getting worse from then. I was given an ultrasound which showed problems, other than skeletal. Mr Imam said that he would operate and that I would be hearing from him. I did and attended a pre-op sessions and passed. I had the operation on 15-04-19 and have to say I was seen by the anaesthetist who was amazing, told me what to expect and advised on what to do after the op a human being not a robot.. Was also available on leaving the hospital for questions. Lovely person. I have now been seen by Mr Iman on 22 May and he and I are thrilled. He did not promise I would be back to how I was before the incident but promised I would be no worse. I am not and cannot thank him and his team enough for this. God bless him. Look forward to being able to continue caring for aged parent, husband, daughter, son and grandchildren. Thank you Mr Iman and your team. Angela Want

When I had an ultrasound scan showing three tendons ruptures, I was told that they can’t repair it. Then I was referred to Mr Iman and he reassured me and now three months after surgery I can use my shoulder fully and couldn’t be happier thanks to the great team in Dpu, clinic and physio and of course Mr Iman. Me and my friend had surgeries under his team and we both couldn’t be happier. Thanks to the whole team in NN!!

I would definitely recommend Mr Imam. He has impeccable explanations for every symptom. I am a scientist myself and I was impressed with the amount of evidence he told me about. On checking, I did appreciate that he has produced a lot of publications in different shoulder problems himself. Initially Mr Imam advised non operative management based on evidence which helped for some time however, when I saw him again we have discussed different options. He has told me about pros and cons of each and we, sincerely, have reached a mutual agreement together. After my surgical reconstruction; I was surprised- What an amazing immediate result in reducing the pain and increasing mobility, my long time of misery is finally over. Now three weeks after the procedure I am well on track to make it back to the golf course! He was very efficient and supportive and made me feel privileged to know all through the was what I was going through and working with me for the right answer. He is very knowledgeable, sincere and cheerful; he always smiles and makes you at ease at all times. He told me every thinfg before surgery and showed me illustrations of what to be done and reassured me immediately after surgery. Simply, He is an angel!!

I simply can't praise Mr IMAM enough; he completely changed my life. I had a collar bone fracture in 2008 which healed in a funny way. Many surgeons warned me of having surgery because of increased complications. I saw Mr Imam, in 2019, and he reassured me and was very confident. He is very knowledgable and showed me papers he has published and added me to the waiting list. I can't praise him enough!! Now 6 weeks after surgery; I am on clouds. I can sleep for the first time in eleven years without pain. He is the best!!!!
