I found Mr. Hatrick particularly helpful in explaining what my operation would involve and what the outcome could be (including the possibility of anything detrimental). Post operation, I was given time to discuss any worries I had and was very thankful for the after-care I was given. During my final review, I was assured that if I were to have any deterioration of the outcome of my operation I could make contact again through my GP. I felt confident from beginning to end that I was in the best of care.

From my first consultation with Mr Hatrick, he was approachable, clear and explained my options. The pre-op consultation set aside any worries that I might of had. The team at the Montefiore, from the reception, the nurse, the medical team were friendly and professional, and made my stay a pleasant one. The follow up consultations with Mr Hatrick were easy and any issues that I had were overcome with corrective exercises.

After a cycle accident I found myself with a torn Supraspinatus and Infraspinatus. Mr Hatrick's diagnosis and surgical care was swift and effective, as he was aware of my plans to sail around the world in an ocean yacht race within 8 months. The surgery was a great success and I managed to look after the shoulder well during rehabilitation period , then go on to then sail 42,000 miles around the globe. A great debt of thanks is due to you Mr Hatrick.

On my first visit Mr Hatrick quickly identified that I had incurred a massive tear to the rotator cuff which would need surgery. On the day of surgery he clearly explained to me what procedure he intended to carry out. He was also very straight about the potential down sides which helped me manage my expectations. My subsequent physio treatment and follow up visits with Mr Hatrick have ensured that I have made significant progress, in fact beyond the level of recovery that I had anticipated by this time. I would have no hesitation in recommending anyone, with shoulder or similar injuries, to Mr Hatrick for treatment.

In 2001 he was appointed as a consultant orthopaedic surgeon at the Royal Sussex County Hospital, now the Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust (BSUH). He has developed a successful multi-disciplinary, ‘one-stop’ shoulder clinic based in Lewes Victoria Hospital with an on-site radiology colleague undertaking investigations as required and advanced physiotherapy practitioners reviewing patients alongside him in the clinic.
