Reviews
I have had left and right complete shoulder replacements and must say that I am very pleased with the results. Both Shoulders are doing well with less pain and more mobility.
Mr Hatrich explained fully the procedures and had good follow through in after care.
I have already recommended him to my family and friends. He is a top man in his field.
Many thanks from Ron Early Patient.
Mr Hatrick is an excellent surgeon.
He has kept me fully informed about all aspects of the surgery both pre and post op.
II would not hesitate to recommend Mr Hatrick and his excellent team to anyone requiring his skill and knowledge.
The care shown to me by all health staff involved under the leadership of Mr Hatrick was second to none.
Mr Hatrick has transformed my life by relieving the pain I suffered for years, which disabled me. When I first saw him the osteoarthritis in my shoulders prevented me from being able to dress myself and other ordinary, necessary activities had to be curtailed or abandoned altogether. Now, since his surgery, I have the use of my arm back. And throughout the necessary consultations leading up to this happy result he has treated me with the utmost consideration, patience and good judgement.

Once I eventually got to see Mr Hatrick after being given the run around. Things started to happen.
He put me on his emergency list and within three weeks of seeing him, I was operated on which was a success. Aftercare was excellent, however it took seven months in the system before the operation which was not down to Mr Hatrick but a fault of the local NHS trust.
I was delighted with the entire service offered by Mr Hatrick from initial consultation right through to the final outcome. My shoulder is now pain free and I am able to participate fully in all activities including tennis 2-3 time per week.

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.
