Mr Alun Yewlett

Written by a NHS patient at Grantham and District Hospital

A doctor that fully explains the options and talks you through the procedures. On this occasion I had an ulna nerve decompression at the cubical tunnel using the Walant technique; this was and is very painless and on first impressions a great success. Today in clinic I had an injection direct into the shoulder to my area of previous replacement. Again fully explained to me and his registrar. We await to see the result. I found Mr Yewlett a lovely and caring man with a human touch and I would fully recommend him to anyone. Thank you. Clive Edwards.

I am more than happy to report back that the care I have received from Grantham Hospital and particularly Mr Yewlett has been without hesitation extremely good. From my initial consultation through to today being effectly discharged (but with the reassurance that I can ask to be re referred should I have any concerns at all), I have been well cared for, frequently offered appointments and constant re assurance that my procedure has been carefully considered and undertaken. Mr Yewlett has a calm but professional attitude towards myself and has accommodated my husband in all appointments, even throughout the Covid crisis. He has carefully explained and shown me what has been needed to repair my shoulder and at no point have I felt rushed or patronised by his level of expertise. The whole Grantham Hospital experience has been an excellent provision, from reception to physio through to Consultant. Thank you.

I am writing this as the daughter of an elderly mother with a shoulder problem. First of all, we were fortunate to see Mr. Yewlett in the very pleasant Lincoln Hospital with its calm and reassuring atmosphere. We were seen in good time and found Mr. Yewlett to be informative, helpful, sensible in his approach with regards to guiding us through the options available for treatment and with a pleasant and relaxed manner throughout.

I had spent two years with poor left arm range of movement and considerable pain in my upper arm and elbow.Mr Yewlett gave me a thorough examination and x-ray, then explained a "reverse shoulder replacement" would be the most suitable in my case and explained the clinical reasons for his advice. I am so glad that I accepted it. My procedure was performed on 17th July 2022. During his post-operative visit to my hospital bed, Mr Yewlett informed me why my pain had extended down to my elbow: my bone damage had trapped a nerve, leading to me experiencing arthritic-type pains. Additionally to his planned procedure, Mr Yewlett kindly removed the errant bone extension too. Now, merely three months post-op, I have recovered almost all of my range of movement; able to wash my hair with both hands for the first time in three years, for example! I am entirely pain-free, have an increased level of self-confidence and have returned to the keep-fit class that I had to abandon three years ago when the pain became so intense. I have also begun ballroom dancing lessons, when I could not have imagined being able to hold my left arm so high only a few months ago. Throughout his care for my case, Mr Yewlett has been so ready to answer questions, patiently and professionally and share with me x-ray results etc. I consider myself to be very fortunate to have been referred to this sugeon. Mr Yewlett, thank you for facilitating such changes to my happiness and lifestyle. I have no hesitation in recommending future patients to ask to be placed under your care.
