- Mr Noorani was excellent in taking time to explain my issues, set out a treatment plan of action and give guidance in what to do next. I would highly recommend Mr Noorani to anyone with shoulder issues.
- Thanks to Mr Noorani’s outstanding treatment and to the excellent rehab, my shoulder is now better than it was before the injury, due to pre-existing damage, and I am delighted.
- I would advise anyone with a fracture of the elbow, like myself, to see Mr Noorani. He did a phenomenal job with the operation and the whole team is a pleasure to work with.
- I would like to thank Mr Noorani for the surgery and treatment. From the first moment, I had no doubts that I found very experienced person I could rely on. My overall experience has been very positive.
- Mr Noorani had helped me before and the care I received from him was excellent. I had a lot of confidence that I would get excellent treatment from Mr Noorani.
- I am so glad I was Mr Noorani was recommended to me. Throughout my care he was very approachable, caring, extremely knowledgeable and delivered a high standard of care along with his team. He did a fantastic job and is everything you would hope to find in a doctor.
- After some research I chose Mr Noorani and could not be happier. He did a tremendous job of walking me through the process and now, some 6 months after the surgery, I am able to play again, pain free.
- Mr Noorani has completely transformed my right shoulder. I was becoming restricted in what I was able to do, but from the results of my first MRI scan, Mr Noorani gave me the confidence that surgery would significantly improve my condition.
- I am very lucky to have found myself under the care of a world leading expert in sports injuries. He was able to give me critical advice on whether to operate to fix the fracture when it had (finally, correctly) been diagnosed very late. I have had great care, every step of the process and every decision has been fully explained to me, and the advice I have had has been spot-on.
- I was well looked after by Mr Noorani and his team. All aspects of carpal tunnel syndrome and treatment were fully explained to me, which put me at ease, and I received fantastic care during each step of the procedure.
