I couldn’t raise my arm, and was in considerable pain. Dr. Polyzois has given me back the opportunity to enjoy my past times, and quality of life for which I am grateful. I cannot recommend Dr. Polyzois highly enough. Paul Edwards

I have a torn ligament in my shoulder. I found Mr Polyzois attentive, informative and very helpful. My treatment was progressed in a timely manner and I am now attending a good physiotherapist recommended by Mr Polyzois.

After a rather bleak outlook from the NHS regarding my broken collarbone, I consulted Mr Polyzois via my private healthcare provider. Everything from the initial consultation to the post surgery care has been excellent and I feel that I made a good choice in going to Mr Polyzois for my surgery.

Mr Polyzois saw me in the 1st quarter of 2018, diagnosis given and confirmed by MRI scan. Rotator cuff was completely ruptured by 4cm and also I suffered from bicep tendonitis. He performed a successful arthroscopic surgery on my shoulder in May 2018. I saw him for the final time November 2018, 6 months after the operation. Thanks to his advice and guidance throughout the pre and post op time period coupled with the physiotherapy I am back to attending gym classes and playing football to the level I was prior to the rupture. With his help my quality of life is back to where is should be. Mobility has returned to normal and at the time of writing this review I would say the strength is at least back to 80%, which with continued exercise as he has advised should return to 100% over time. His professionalism and expertise has helped me thought this process and I thank him for the great job he did to my shoulder....

In April 2016 Dr Polyzois had to replace my husband's broken and dislocated shoulder with an artificial joint. It has been amazingly successful. My husband's physical strength was restored, and he can do strenuous activities again. Two years on he is still as fit as ever. We will never stop being utterly grateful to Dr Polyzois.
