Oddly enough I bumped in to Malin whilst playing a cricket match and recognised him as the surgeon who operated on my left shoulder. I dislocated my left shoulder several times whilst playing sports and Malin conducted a joint stabilization procedure. This has proved to be a huge success, I thankfully have had no dislocations following this operation in 2015 and desperately hope this continues. Malin was very knowledgeable, understanding, empathetic and attentive to my needs. He talked me through the risks and benefits of the operation so I was able to make a fully informed decision. Furthermore, Malin managed to fast track my operation due to a cancellation; I went under the knife the day after my MRI scan discussion. I would wholeheartedly recommend Malin to anyone who requires a joint stabilisation procedure. My only gripe with Malin is he stumped me out as I was batting for the opposing team, if ever our sides do face each other in future I will be staying in my crease!
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.
Mr Wijeratna carried out a reverse shoulder replacement for me four weeks ago. His knowledge and skill is exemplary and he totally reassured me that I was making the right decision by going ahead as I was quite nervous about it. Following surgery he came to see me and explained exactly what he had done during the operation so I fully understood it. Prior to my consultation I had no idea that shoulder replacement was even an option. My pain is massively reduced and my movements are improving weekly. I could not be happier with the outcome. Getting a good night's sleep is still a challenge but I know it is still very early days and I reckon things can only get better. Mr Wijeratna and your team, I cannot thank you enough.
Mr Wijeratna during consultations was very clear and concise. Booked me in to surgery, follow up consultations and physiotherapy very fast. Detailed every step of surgery and asked if I had any questions. Very professional
I attended City Hospital 3/3/21 for a Subacromial Decompression. I have a fear of needles and was extremely anxious before the operation. Mr Wijeratna sat down with me beforehand and talked me through the process which really eased my anxiety. He explained everything very clearly and answered a couple of questions I had in a way i could understand. I explained about my needle phobia which he explained to his excellent team who managed this extremely well and made me as comfortable as possible. Healing well and so glad I’ve had my shoulder sorted.
I took my mum to see Mr Malin Wijeratna at the Ramsey Woodthorpe Hospital last Friday for a follow up appt after her shoulder replacement in 2020 . I would like to thank him for his professionalism , kindness , and friendly manner , my mum is very hard of hearing , which makes it very difficult to have a conversation with her . Mr Wijeratna was so patient and kind to my mum ,which is sometimes very stressful , my mum was very grateful to him , he has made her quality of life so much better , now she is free from pain in her shoulder , such a wonderful outcome from her operation performed by Mr Wijeratna , I would personally like to thank him and all the wonderful staff at the Woodthorpe hospital for making my mum feel at ease and looking after her
Mr Wijeratna has provided me with holistic care. He has guided me through the treatment options for a painful and debilitating arthritic shoulder. I have great confidence in his skills as a surgeon. Following a complete shoulder replacement the pain and limited movement I have had for a long time is finally going. He has explained every step of the way, so I have able to cope with what to expect. Mr Wijeratna has always treated me with respect. It has been a great privilege to meet such a skilled and caring person. I believe I could receive no greater care in any health sector. His skilled intervention has enabled me to meet the every day demands of my life. Thank you.
Being epileptic and having severe seizures, caused my arm to dislocate an awful lot. I had a consultation with Mr Wijeratna and he was thorough from the word go. He requested I had a MRI arthrogram to ensure he fully understood the extent of my injury. He reassured me throughout and was realistic about the operation. The surgery was a huge success and the aftercare post op was second to none. I have since recommended him to two other colleagues and will recommend him to anyone with similar issues. I have made a full recovery with no complications and I am so grateful to have had him as my consultant. Thank you again you really have given me the confidence to be able to do the things I once enjoyed without the worry of my shoulder dislocating!
