I came to see Mr Crook with considerable debilitating pain in my wrist. Having had little or no joy with 111 and GP. I was diagnosed very quickly, treated and followed up very professionally. At no time did I have too little information. Mr Crook has always been very patient and I have never felt rush. Thank you for the excellent treatment.

He has an excellent manner. Explains things in a very understandable way. Has a caring approach. The operation was a complete success & the wound was beautifully stitched and the scar has virtually disappeared. Recovery is perfectly on track. I trust his judgement and could not be more happy with the experience.
