Patient feedback

Mr Dr Wijeratna done some surgery on my shoulder I was in a lot of pain tearing one tendon off the bone and damaging two others although the main damage on one tendon wasn't able to fix on this actual occasion he did an amazing job by repairing the other two getting me back to work without all the pain I was in I'm moving more freely now although I will probably have to have more surgery to repair the worst tendon I'm really grateful to him I'm a scaffolder by trade so my shoulders take a lot of the stress of work I'd recommend him to anybody who needs surgery
I had a Left Total Shoulder Replacement in December 2021 at the Woodthorpe Hospital as an NHS patient. Although I did not meet Mr Wijeratna until the morning of my surgery he still took the time to explain all about the surgery. He was friendly, polite and was able to put you at ease. It is now September and I can honestly say the surgery has been great. I am pain free, have good movement and have been discharged today. I would definitely recommend Mr Wijeratna to anyone who has shoulder problems.
I have been incredibly fortunate to find myself under the care of Mr Wijeratna twice now having suffered from ‘frozen shoulder’ in both shoulders, one at a time. Having first been referred to him via a health care organisation and having a private consultation, I was able to change back to the NHS and continue receiving his care and ultimately having him operate on both of my shoulders. I can honestly say that I have utmost faith in Mr Wijeratna. He is so knowledgeable, professional, an expert in his field yet really approachable and ‘human’. Don’t suffer with adhesive capsulitis or any other shoulder condition, make an appointment to see Mr Wijeratna either privately or ask to be referred through the NHS system (which takes a lot longer).
As a recent patient of Mr Wijeratna I’m happy to say i received the best treatment for a long standing shoulder problem Mr Wijeratna tried several treatments for me including steroid injections and physiotherapy over a period of time, but eventually we decided on surgery which I’m pleased to say has given me the full use of my arm, Mr Wijeratna treated me with the upmost respect and compassion i would certainly recommend him a brilliant consultant and surgeon, thank you x
I have had both my shoulders replaced by Mr. Wijeratna. Throughout both cases he has been professional and caring. He carried out my operations (one of which was quite complicated) amazingly well. My recovery after each one was trouble free and I am now pain free and am able to carry on my life normally. I would recommend him to anyone needing surgery like mine but sadly he is moving on with his career to a different part of the UK. I am just so glad that I got to have him to treat me.
Torn Rotator cuff repair. Superb job .shoulder back to 100 per cent. Great team and surgeon.
Excellent surgeon and totally successful capsular release for frozen shoulder.
Went to see Mr Wijeratna for a shoulder problem after being in severe pain, once i decided to go ahead with surgery, he explained in great detail what the operation would involve, and explained the recovery process, i had full confidence in this Doctor who was very nice and made me feel at ease, for me this operation was life changing, i am so glad i chose to see Mr Wijeratna and would not hesitate to see him again should i ever need to. Everything about my experience was positive.
