I fully understood Mr Mackenzie explaing my scam today and all it entained i was aware that b4 my operation my shoulder was useless worse than useless i could do a thing with it . Can I say he is a wonderful can't down or make me feel inadiquite.. I think he and in December I seen a other member of this team and he thought then I was doing so well and the trays this time showed a improvement again on my shoulder eve n with a fall in December 25 .delighted with the crew from St John's looking aftercare until I got out
Very positive experience, although I admit to a slight misunderstanding at first. But we ended up reviewing both shoulders and this was very helpful.
Follow up from surgery 18 months ago. As always extremely informative very thorough and helpful. Excellent consultant.
My recent visit went well. Mr Mackenzie is always in a very upbeat and positive mood which is exactly what you need as a rehabbing athlete when the return to play seems very far away. He has been happy with my progress each visit and has told me he is happy for me to return completely. Overall I am very pleased with the work of himself and everybody involved in getting me recovered and back to the stage where I am strong enough to play again.
In the time period between injuring my arm tendon and having it repaired by Mr Sam Mackenzie I was struggling with simple things like playing a guitar, and at the other end of the scale being able to lift things as part of my job! , but after being so well looked after with a first rate repair all good as normal again, thanks to Mr Mackenzie. Cheers dude!!
Absolutely excellent from doctors pitty about the waiting time. However both doctors were great.
Routine follow up appointment(a tad late but nonetheless most welcome).everything went well and at my senior age pretty routine for the stage of recovery.pleased with outcome.
