Exceptional knowledge of Rotatory Cuff tendinopathy. Very assured of the procedures and surgery repairs to be undertaken. His communication skills in English is beyond expectations.

I had successfully undergone surgery on 11th Dec 2024 to repair rotator cuff tear of my right shoulder which also includes biceps tenotomy and removal of calcific. 3 days after surgery, I still had not encountered any pain. Looking foward to the post operative therapy programs for full recovery. Many thanks to the nursing staff on Ward 5 for their professionalism and dedication.Show more

In September 2023, I underwent surgery to repair a meniscus tear.

Despite my hopes for a full recovery, I continue to face significant challenges. I experience persistent, intense pain at the incision site, which has also resulted in a bony lump that restricts my mobility. These issues have persisted long after the expected recovery period, preventing me from engaging in the planned rehabilitation activities.Show more

This review is based on my personal experience with the surgery. For anyone considering this type of procedure, I recommend thoroughly discussing all potential risks and post-operative outcomes with your medical provider.
