It's took years for someone to actually listen to me about my painful shoulder I felt like I was just being passed from doctor to physio. Then I had a consultation with MR VARGHESE who actually listened too me got me an x-ray found the problem straight away and told me I needed an operation it wasn't long after that I had the opp to this day I could not thank MR VARGHESE enough for listening and giving me a quality off life back.

I fell and seriously dislocated and fractured my shoulder. The dislocation was put back at another hospital but after visiting the fracture clinic at Pinderfields I was put to Mr Varghese to put the rest of the shoulder together, or the fracture of it. The operation was done fairly quickly and I was seen by his team both before and after, then by himself. The recovery for a serious fracture is slow but has all been put back together fantasti cally by Mr Varghese. He has also rung me in this lockdown to find out if all is still well. Cant thank him enough for his care and the care from his team.

Doctor was exemplary, can’t think of anything to improve. He was very open, and explained everything in detail. Gave me great peace of mind throughout the process. Keep up the good work!

I broke the left Humerus Head in several places, and also my right Wrist in three places. I was initially taken to Pinderfields Hospital for emergency care and then quickly seen by the orthopaedic department (Mr Matthew Varghese). All consultations (pre- and post-operative) were good with both Matthew and Josh (a Registrar) taking ample time to listen attentively and react with care. At no time did I feel rushed or as if there were some time limit (although I have no doubt there was). The operation was tricky as I had to have two surgeons, one for my shoulder and another for my wrist, but Mr Varghese took control of the whole process and organised for the operation to plate and pin the breaks in both my shoulder and wrist under the same operation, but with the two surgeons arriving at different times. The operation itself went well, especially my shoulder which was operated on by Mr Varghese, and I now have more movement in the shoulder than I was led to believe than I might get; in fact - almost normal movement with no pain. On coming round from the operation I was in a significant amount of pain; so much in fact that I was put back to sleep for some hours (something may have gone wrong with an anaesthetic 'block' that should have prevented this). However, once I came round and for my first (and only) night in hospital I was well taken care of by a person called Bippin, who was normally part of the orthopaedic outpatients team, but had volunteered to do some time on the ward so that he got a full picture of what the patient goes through (I thought this was exceptional and another sign of a very well run department). The orthopaedic department at Pinderfields hospital was superb. Every appointment was on-time, and for once (in my experience) the hospital ran to a very slick process, with me the patient being sent to different departments (bloods, scans etc), but with very little wait at each stage, and the whole experience being what you should expect (but rarely get). These comments span all (several) appointments at the orthopaedic outpatients clinic. In summary - I commend Mr Varghese, his team and Pinderfields Orthopaedic department.
