Patient Information

Our aim is to get you back to normal function as quickly and painlessly as possible. I treat fit and active patients keen to return to normal as well as people with often long term painful or limiting joint problems. I recognise the particular requirements of sportsmen and women and musicians where hand function is especially important. Surgery is not always the answer and I work with a number of colleagues to ensure that you get the best available treatment.

There is a large amount of information on the internet which is of variable quality. You should feel free to ask questions during your appointment but you may want to read about your condition or treatment also. This page draws together some reliable sources of information available on the internet: surgical guidelines, information from specialist societies and patient resources provided by specialist surgeons and centres.
