Reviews
We were very fortunate to meet this amazing doctor at St Peters Fracture Clinic. My partner Dixine Pugh sustained a complicated double break of her upper arm. It was borderline for surgery. However Dr Polyzois opted for seeing if a non surgical option would be appropriate. Thankfully after many visits to monitor the healing progress Dr Polyzois was satisfied that the arm was responding to his treatment. We cannot emphasise the fantastic treatment we received at St Peters. The entire process from the ambulance who took her there to the entire staff at the hospital has been beyond perfect. From our experience the NHS is in great shape. Thank you so much. Especially to the brilliant Dr Polyzois.
I have recently had a frozen shoulder issue which Mr Polyzois operated on for me
The procedure was very successful and I was able to return to work quite quickly I am cabin crew so my job is physical
Mr Polyzois was very supportive and helpful throughout especially when my private insurance ran out.
It was no problem he immediately referred me NHS
I am pleased I found him to take care of my operation and after care
Mr Polyzois provided great care and attention to my daughter with mild learning difficulties, fully explaining the procedures undertaken and ensuring all questions were fully answered.
She did require a repeat shoulder operation, however the further dislocations were precipitated by fits and further complicated by her being hypermobile and therefore more likely than those without that condition for that to occur.
I have completed this on her behalf and therefore the demographic information relates to her.
I was under Mr Polyzois' care after a traumatic dislocation of my shoulder, which required surgery.
Throughout the process, he has been professional, thorough and given me confidence to fully recover from this injury, answering any questions or concerns I have had during this process.
I would have no hesitation in recommending him to other patients, along with his team at the Runnymede Hospital.
Many thanks

From initial referral, out-patient consultation, diagnostic radiographs and MRI scan, diagnosis of the condition, discussion of treatment, operation and post operative care, I have received excellent advice, care and treatment from Mr Polyzois. I now look forward to complete recovery of my shoulder problem. I can now understand why orthopaedic surgeons specialise in particular areas, eg shoulder and elbow, to achieve the best possible results for specialist surgery and outcome for their patients.
Should specialist work be required on my other shoulder, I know I shall ask Mr Polyzois for his advice and treatment if required.
