I had a shoulder stabilisation procedure about 3 months ago now and I am extremely happy with how it is feeling. Considering this is my second operation on the same shoulder, I was worried with how it would be after, but after these three months, i am feeling very confident and I am having no issues. I would highly recommend Mr Edward Ibrahim and have no complaints.

Mr. E.I is a junior should and elbow specialist. I went for an appointment at St.John & St.Elizabeth Hospital as a private patient. He did not listen to me, his diagnosis was wrong. I was not satisfied with his explanations. He did not care how I feel and what kind of help I need. Therefore I decided to go to someone who was more senior and had more knowledge them him.

I broke my shoulder in December in the Canary Islands and when I came back at the beginning of January I went to see Mr Ibrahim who informed me that, following an X-ray, I had broken my shoulder in 4 places and needed a reverse shoulder operation. This was scheduled for a week later but then I caught Covid and he couldnt operate for another 5 weeks. I found him, during this very difficult time for me, to be most sympathetic and kind and after the operation he continued to be caring and kind and would listen carefully to everything I had to say. My shoulder is now doing very well (thanks to him)and I am very grateful for all his help and would highly recommend him

Dislocated my shoulder in a bicycle accident in October. After my scan showed that the muscle had been torn off the bone and the ligament severely damaged and, in light of COVID likely to delay any operation, I switched from NHS to Thames Shoulder and Elbow private treatment. Whether NHS or private Mr Ibrahim would've been my surgeon. Within a few weeks of an initial consultation at Syon Clinic surgery was arranged for Jan 2nd at StJohn &St Elizabeth Hospital in Swiss Cottage. Mr Ibrahim talked me through the procedure and was very calm and reassuring.The operation took about 4 hours and was painless with the anaesthetic and I was released the same day. After a follow-up consultation with Mr Ibrahim I was prescribed physio which took about 10 weeks at West Thames Physiotherapy. Progress was slow but steady and I had 1 more consultation (after about 3 months) with Mr Ibrahim to check progress was on track. Its now 6 months post-op and I have full mobility in my shoulder, no pain and an active trip to Scotland including a day's sea kayaking caused me no problems. I've even returned to the gym to continue to build the strength back up into my arm and shoulder. Throughout Mr Ibrahim has been professional and approachable and I highly recommend his services.

With the Covid situation, I was really anxious and nervous about resolving the problem I had. But once I met Edward things really picked up speed and glad to say I was out of severe pain in no time. He was very good in explaining all the treatment in detail and the possible side effects. Very good communication and follow up plan. Happy with the entire checkup.
