I was initially seen some months ago by Dr Yewlett after falling and suffering a severe rotator cuff injury. Surgery was swift and thorough with four different procedures. Follow up has been excellent on each occasion. Mr Yewlett has been very supportive and encouraging explaining everything to me on each visit. He is very personable and easy to talk to and will suggest how to overcome obstacles during rehabilitation. His swift action and guidance has enabled me to be able to return to my original position at work which I originally thought would not be possible. I cannot thank him enough.

I first saw Mr.Yewlett several years after a flying accident had resulted in severe injury to my right shoulder which necessitated a plate in the collarbone and numerous screws to hold the humerous head together (this surgery was carried out at Sheffield hospital). Over the following years I saw Mr.Yewlett regularly and my condition was monitored; I started to suffer from sever arthritic pain in the shoulder. Mr.Yewlett operated to remove some of the metalwork and I had injections to relieve pain. Eventually I was given the option of a total reverse shoulder replacement. Waiting time for this operation was relatively short and I was seen by Mr.Yewlett whilst waiting for the operations who discussed the options available to me. I received a new shoulder in November 2023. Recovery was surprisingly quick and three months later I have regained good movement in my shoulder with minimal pain. The recovery process and timescales have bee fully explained to me and I am extremely happy at how the shoulder replacement has improved my quality of life. I would certainly recommend Mr.Yewlett to anyone considering this surgery.

I'm really lucky to have seen Mr Yewlett after i shattered my collar bone.surgery was not an option at the time as i'd also broken a rib.Mr Yewlett pushed for the NHS to get me fitted in a Clavibrace currently only available for private patients.I'm the first adult to get 1 on the NHS.The trial was a real game changer and it meant I didn't need an operation.I could function on a day to day basis with minimal pain and full movement while the bone was mending.The healing process went as Mr Yewlett explained and I'm extremely grateful.I also hope that the NHS will use these braces in the future to help other patients.
