Spoke with Nick about pain through my neck, shoulder, elbow and wrist. We had an initial conversation where he listened intently to my thoughts and worries. He guided me through the process of the MRI and also the outcome of it after. Super helpful

Nick fixed my left shoulder (Latarjet procedure). From the first consultation, through to the day of the procedure and post-op consultation, he was professional, highly educated and very experienced. From that first consultation I had great trust in his ability to perform the surgery, and that stayed consistent throughout the whole process. Highly recommend Nick!

Mr Aresti provided a detailed assessment, was able to use X-rays from another provider to identify the issue and reassure. He had a friendly and approachable manner, speaking directly to my child and explaining things clearly so my 15 year old could understand. Much appreciated his advice and next steps.

Nick has been brilliant from my very first visit with him right up to my recent visit which was a 5 month post op assessment. He made me feel at ease every step of the way & his confidence to my situation pre & post op has really helped.

Nick is very knowledgeable, and very relaxed, He explains everything in simple terms so us Nonmedical people understand. He is easy to talk to and every time I saw Nick it was relaxed and I felt like, I was talking to a friend, not a consultant. I can't fault Nick at all; he made the whole process a breeze and kept me updated all along the way and answered any questions or concerns I had. I can't recommend him enough
