Very informative and very happy with the plan to get back on track with healing.
I was pleased with the care I received when I had my operation maybe not so much with the neck thing. My appointment with physio was helpful still working progress over all I don't think it could be better Thank you
Very friendly and thorough in explanation of my symptoms and the best way to make it better. Spoke through it all in detail and put me at ease ready for the operation.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Wishing you all the very best for your procedure and a smooth recovery.
Carpal tunnel is a syndrome I have been managing for 7 years gradually getting worse. Mr Papanna explained the importance of surgery in the right manner with me and knew my medical history from previously helping me with an elbow injury. He knew I was best to have the surgery, bilaterally and under local anaesthetic. His demeanour put me at ease. I felt I could ask anything. He took great care of me, and my surgery was a great success. What a fantastic consultant!

Mr Papanna is the most incredible consultant. I damaged my Ligament in my elbow following over use in the gym. Rather than jumping straight to surgery Mr Papanna recommended I would be an ideal candidate for PRP injection. I was hesitant at first and it took a few months to take effect but I am now 100% healed. Back to full strength in the gym. Mr Papanna took the time to explain all treatments and outcomes to me, he made me feel at ease, comfortable and confident in the care I was receiving. I have and will always recommend. Thank you for your support and guidance .

Apart from a long wait at the appointment - Mr Pappanna dealt with me immediately when I asked to see him.

He wants to see me again in a year’s time.

Mr Papanna operated to replace my shoulder 11 months ago. He was thorough in explaining the op & has been on subsequent examinations. I am able to perform all my daily activities almost to the level I used to & he has told me I can continue to improve. He was good at listening to my concerns & so referred me to my requested after care specialist including regular bone scans, medication & extended physio.
