Mrs Johnson assessed the mucoid/ mucal/ myxoid cyst present on my left index finger - on the joint just behind the fingernail. She discussed the options in detail and I opted to have the root of the cyst surgically removed.
The surgery day at the Montefiore Hospital in Hove was local anaesthetic and went. I had a big finger bandage for ten days and then had the stitches out. No problems recovering and my finger is fine. I've been back to swimming/ golf/ cycling and walking and the finger joints have recovered full flexibility.
So glad that you have had a good experience and excellent recovery. Thanks for your kind words.
Mrs Johnson, helped me after 10 year of having carpal tunnel issues finial fixed both hands and now I live pain free. Great doctor
I am so happy that you can now sleep and are pain free. Thanks so much for your kind words. All the best, Riem
Ms Johnson ,was kind and informed me all the way through my treatment. She did a amazing job replacing my CJC on my right thumb. She explained everything and gave me options, never rushed me any time that I saw her .probably got to have my left thumb treated inthe same way ,I have no hesitation about her treating me and would recommend her and all the other staff who have cared for me both at the RSCH & PRINCESS ROYAL, They were also kind and couldn't do enough to make me comfortable and informed and made me feel really cared for .
Thank you for your kind words. It’s so great to hear how happy you are with your new thumb replacement. Wishing you all the best. Riem
Dr Johnson is a friendly & approachable doctor with a great sense of humour & down to earth manner. She listened to my symptoms, suggested treatment, gave alternatives too. She was always friendly. Most importantly she (touch wood!) completely got rid of my carpal tunnel symptoms. 100% recommend. Great communication too about appointment dates, times etc, which is a shout out to her Secretary who again was super friendly & very efficient.
I was 100% satisfied with the whole produre and the result.
I found Mrs Riem Johnson very patient , knowledgeable and easy to talk to.
Her explanation of the procedure was very clear , and her Iwhole manner very professional, but friendly. I'm completely satisfied with the result of my procedure.
