Reviews
Mrs Johnson is a warm and caring person and a brilliant surgeon. She kept me informed about my Dupuytren's operation before hand, explaining the procedure to reassure any doubts that I had. She was very interested in my health and progress after the operation in the Weeks that followed.
Many thanks Reim.

Dear Barry, I am so glad that you had a good experience and that you are happy with the result of your surgery. Wishing you a successful recovery. Warm regards Riem
Mrs Johnson was easy to talk to, she explained and showed me the nature of my injury and what she needed to do to repair it . She checked my knowledge of understanding to allow her to proceed . Pre op Mrs Johnson recapped the procedure ,so on the day I felt confident going in for my surgery. I was made to feel very relaxed, this was the first time I had surgery with a block rather than a general anaesthetic. All went according to plan. Two week later I had a follow up appointment with Mrs Johnson and once again she was very engaging .so far so good as recovery goes and I am now being referred to a hand specialist . I had very little bruising and the scar is very neat and healing extremely well.
Thank you for your review. I am so glad that you have had a good experience so far. Hopefully you will continue to improve under the care of the hand therapist I referred you to. Wishing you all the best.
Excellent experience when having a plate inserted to fix a broken wrist.
Huge care taken in every aspect of the procedure.
Thank you for your review. I am so glad that after the awful ordeal of breaking your wrist, we were able to fix it and make the experience as stress free as possible.
I would like to thank Consultant Orthopaedic Hand Surgeon Mrs. Riem Johnson for life-changing surgery on my left thumb on 30/11/2018. I am delighted with the results of my operation and am able to do my daily living now without any difficulties. I have been able to have a restful night's sleep without any pain.
Many thanks and kind regards,
Larissa Rose.
Dear Larissa Thank you for your kind words and I am so happy that you have had such a great result from your thumb surgery and that you can now enjoy life to the full. Kind regards Riem Johnson
I was operated by Dr Johnson and her team on the 04TH June for a trigger finger problem that had become so bad that the only way to release it was by using the other hand to force it to release. I had previously been given steroid injections that did not improve the problem and was a bit concerned that the operation would not work. The procedure was carried out with utmost care and at no time was I at all concerned. The result was fantastic and after being careful to follow the aftercare instructions I now have full movement of the finger and in no discomfort at all. I would have no reservations about recommending the procedure and Dr Johnson to anyone who is in a similar position or who has in other issues that may require surgery.
Thank you for your kind words. I am so glad that your experience was so positive. Kind regards Riem Johnson
