Following an accident I suffered quite severe damage to my shoulder which required major surgery to fix it. In my late 50's and never having had any kind of operation before I was nervous about the prospect and extremely anxious to avoid a bad experience / outcome. I took advice from various informed people and all of them without hesitation, said for a shoulder problem you have to see Cameron Hatrick who is the best shoulder man in the Brighton / South East area.
In the event he more than lived up to his billing. At the first consultation I felt confident that I was in good hands. On top of his undoubted experience he was friendly, approachable and positive. His initial diagnosis was spot on as confirmed by the scans and he was thorough and unpatronising in his explanation and description of what he was going to do, what the risks were and what the recovery process was likely to be. On the day of the operation he and the excellent anaesthetist made me feel relaxed and that I was in the best hands, again being clear and thorough about the procedure and process. Mr Hatrick skilfully repaired the not inconsiderable damage to my shoulder and I was left with a surprisingly neat and tidy scar which healed much quicker than I thought it would. The post operative care provided by Mr Hatrick was equally good and he was focused on making sure that the shoulder would be as good if not better than it was before the accident. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mr Hatrick.

Mr Hatrick is supberb. He has explained what the options were to treat my condition and when the option of a shoulder replacement was agreed took me through all the possible outcomes. Owing to other pre-existing conditions other consultants were involved ie cardiac and anesthesiology. The operation took place sucessfully at Haywards Heath. I am very pleased with the outcome and my care throughout. The follow-up has been very efficient at Lewes Victioria Hospital. I am now pain free and my quality of life has improved immeasurably. Mr Hatrick is a fine surgeon and a caring person who instills confidence in his patients and is willing to listen to any concerns they may have.

Mr Hatrick was professional, kind and courteous at all times (as were the amazing team of people who looked after me at the Princess Royal, Haywards Heath.) I felt I could ask questions freely (sometimes the same question more than once if I felt it necessary) and he was happy to explain things in a way that I could understand. I received excellent care at all times and the operation was a great success giving me back a range of movement I haven’t had in quite a while and, practically eliminating the pain in my shoulder. Thank you.

He was very professional in his approach to my treatment. He explained, when I asked for the background to the issues that I have. No one else has done this in the past.
