I am not usually someone who writes reviews but as I have received such outstanding excellent care, Mr Alun Yewlett deserves the recognition. Seven months ago I had an accident that resulted in multiple fractures in my ulna and radius head. This left me with no supernation at all (rotation) nor could I straighten my arm past a 90 degree angle. As a mother with a young baby and someone who loves dancing and Zumba as a hobby, the thought of having restricted movement to undertake daily activities was quite distressing. A week into my injury, I was introduced to Mr Yewlett who has been true to his word and provided excellent duty of care going above and beyond to ensure the best treatment. Along this journey, he has provided a very human, caring approach who has listened intently and taken all my concerns into consideration for my treatment. No amount of time was too great in explaining options so even a novice like myself could understand the complexity of the damage undertaken and that I clearly understood what various surgical procedures would entail. Although I took the long haul approach as we waited for the initial breaks to fuse together before attempting a complex surgery, it was definitely the right decision in my particular case. Various scenarios were discussed in pre planning the procedure as there are unknowns until the actual surgery. I truly believe that the optimum result was achieved from having surgery only a week ago. I have been left with no pins or plates, no artificial replacements, neat inside out stitching and Mr Yewletts great experience of manipulating and shaving bones etc has meant that I can already supernate my arm and straighten it almost the same as my left arm. The aftercare set up with time and physio will also undoubtedly improve my ability so I am one very happy patient! I don't even need to have any further surgery which was originally expected. I would highly recommend anyone going under the care of Mr Yewlett, not only will he spend time getting to know you, your lifestyle and needs, he will also go above and beyond to get your best result by extensive research exploring modern day procedures and even introducing techniques such as compulsive passive motion machines to greater the success. He is a true experienced professional with very high standards to get the best for his patients and is very kind and caring in his approach so I am so very pleased that he treated me! Just down to me now with physio!
