At my first consultation with Mr Makki he explained what procedure would be required to cure the permanent problem I had with osteoarthritis around the thumb / wrist joint that I had suffered with for a number of years. After reviewing 2 x-rays with me he recommended a trapeziectomy and outlined in detail what the surgery actually entailed. He was very honest in what benefits this would give me in the long term with regards to relieving the pain but also pointed out that an increase in mobility of the thumb was unlikely.
I underwent surgery in November 2022 and Mr Makki again explained this in detail at the hospital prior to the operation. On discharge from hospital after the operation a follow up consultation was arranged where the initial cast and dressings were removed. He took great care to examine the outcome of his work and to explain the next stages of recovery to me.
3 months on I have now had my final consultation with Mr Makki where he discharged me from his care but not before looking at a minor issue I had with my lower arm. Again he explained the likely cause of this problem and whilst it was nothing serious he provided me with great reassurance that all had gone well with the surgery and I could get back to a "normal" life.
And he was right ..... I now have no more crippling pain, the odd minor ache or two but he has said that will improve in the next few months, plus I have got greater mobility in the thumb due to the lack of this pain.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Mr Makki to anyone needing this type of surgery as the knowledge, professionalism, attention to detail and overall care he provided for me was first class.
Mr Makki was nothing but the consummate professional, he was courteous and polite, his knowledge of the shoulder and my injury was second to none. He carried out the operation like it was 'nothing' and his follow up was exemplary. Highly recommended.
A very good consultant, kept me at ease through a difficult time.
Mr Makki listened attentively on our first meeting and did everything he could to provide me with excellent care, despite Covid constraints at the time. After my shoulder operation was unexpectedly complicated, he explained this clearly and gave reassuring and realistic expectations for my short and longer term recovery. He was supportive and encouraging with my progress and clear about next steps so I am discharged with 95% recovery to a shoulder joint from a younger me and certainty the last bit of stiffness at full extension is lessening day by day. A kind, intuitive professional who I recommend without reservation. Thank you so much.

Dr Makki was professional but kind and approachable. He answered my questions well and put me at ease about my shoulder surgery. My shoulder is now back to full mobility but is much more stable than previously.
