Following many hours at St Peter’s A&E with a badly broken wrist, I was extremely fortunate to see Mr Harb. I was referred to him in his capacity as a consultant trauma and orthopaedic surgeon for his opinion on whether to operate or to leave my wrist (which had been manipulated in A&E) in a cast for 6 weeks. From the outset Mr Harb was extremely reassuring and I immediately felt in very safe hands. He was very clear, meticulous and patient when explaining the advantages/disadvantages of both treatment options and gave me plenty of time to ask any questions. My main concern was that whatever treatment I chose, I wanted him to do it! I made the decision to opt for surgery (Woking Nuffield) and am extremely relieved I did. The day of the operation went just as Mr Harb had outlined, as has my recovery. My post-op 6 week X-ray showed that my internal healing was very good and that Mr Harb had achieved a perfect alignment of my broken bone (which had not been possible via manipulation). A few weeks after surgery I forgot I had ever broken my wrist and use it exactly as I did before the break. I have had a couple of consultations with Mr Harb since my surgery and have been so impressed with his concern that I achieve an excellent result. It is always a pleasure to see him - he listens carefully to your progress, has a very personable manner and is clearly an extremely special consultant surgeon. Any patient of his is in the best hands possible.
