Google Patient Review:

"This hospital is fantastic, being I would normally be under NHS treatment. Since being under the care of Mr Karadaglis at this hospital, he has been a God send literally.

His knowledge and skill as an Orthopaedic Specialist is next to none. I was told by the NHS that after having a failed shoulder surgery, there was no surgical procedures that could be performed on me to fix what had been damaged.

Mr Karadaglis has shown and revealed everything wrong within my shoulder and has also reassured me he can fix everything and get me back to living a normal life. This includes my trade as a structural metal worker plus being an ambassador for country where I play football for the England Fans FC who represent out National team England.

I feel very lucky to have met this man and I’m very much excited to have the 1st of 3 operations starting in January 2023."
