- I would certainly recommend Professor Dhinsa. From the start to discharge was hassle free. I felt very confident in his expertise. The waiting area was clean and comfortable, and waiting time was minimal.
- Treatment review completed in clinic. Good progress made with two treatments of guided ultrasound injections. Option to access referral through gp to revisit clinic if symptoms return. Treatment has improved mobility for day to day activities and to enjoy planned trips that were put on hold following foot injury. Thank you to all involved in my treatment. Much appreciated.
- Very good service the member of staff got me a wheelchair and pushed me to the clinic as I was struggling with crutches and distance to walk was to fare away for me, reception staff just ignored me struggling. Professor was wonderful so friendly and explained everything to me regarding operation and plan coming up. Clinic nurse was very nice helpful explained everything and showed me how to use the boot and how to use crutches with the boo. Took her time and made sure I was safe.
