"The most friendly and down to earth consultant I have met. From the first time I met him I knew I had chosen the right consultant from the a list of 4 that I was given. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs this sort of treatment."

"Excellent, extremely professional, plus had a nice sense of humor which always helps"

"He was very helpful and explained the procedure to me in a way I could understand and the process of the surgery"

"Very kind and caring, made me feel at ease, I could tell that he knew what he was doing, treated me with respect, not like just another number on his check sheet. I liked him"

"I saw Mr Read after experiencing extreme pain in my hand carrying out day to day activities. He advised me that I needed a trapeziectomy with ligament reconstruction. He told me it would be 3 months before I started to feel the benefit. He wasn't wrong. But after the operation and following extensive physiotherapy, 5 months on I have absolutely no regrets. I have just found the list of things I had stopped doing before the operation and can now do them all and with no pain."

"My appointment with Mr Read was for a second opinion on a problematic previously fractured wrist.From the first consultation he assessed the issue and gave me options adding his view as to where to start.I went with his recommendation which was the least intrusive, although this meant he had to remove the plate and pins .
I’m now 4 weeks on from the operation with him and it’s like Ive got a new wrist .Im discharged from both a further Consultation and my Physio sessions. A great result for me .I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mr Read for any hand ,wrist or forearm injuries"

"I came to Mr Read for a 2nd opinion after my wrist (distal radius) fracture had healed badly, limiting the range of movement of my dominant right hand, and impacting my ability to pursue hobbies and sports. From the outset, he identified that there was a problem, and this was confirmed shortly afterwards by x-rays, which showed a malunion of the fracture. My thumb tendon had also been ruptured during the fracture, and he clearly explained how he would repair the tendon and restore the correct geometry of my wrist (via osteotomy) in a single procedure.
It’s now eight weeks since the operation, and thanks to Mr Read’s excellent surgery and his colleague’s specialist hand therapy, I’ve recovered most of my range of movement and I’m well on the way to rebuilding my full wrist strength. In summary, I’m very glad I opted for a 2nd opinion, and I recommend Mr Read without hesitation for his reassuring manner and his expertise in hand surgery."

“Very polite, explained everything very well, I felt safe in his hands. Thank you”



“I liked Mr Read from the moment I met him on 14th October I enjoyed meeting and talking to Mr Read and he made me feel at ease straight away It was exactly the same on the day of my procedure from seeing him in my room and in the theatre I shared some banter with Mr Read and his team before my procedure and we were all laughing together which helped me to relax not always easy for me in a hospital environment I felt I was in very safe hands and I am extremely pleased with the result of the surgery”


“He was very informative about my treatment and I felt comfortable asking questions about my treatment and aftercare He also made me feel at ease throughout the operation”


“Excellent”

"Mr Read saw me ahead of time. He was very professional, and knowledgable on his specialism. I was sent for an x-ray almost immediately so he could see what problems there were with the bone. From there he was able to show me the issues, discuss the options available to me and book an appointment there and then to have surgery on a date to suit me. Mr Read gave me every confidence in his ability to deal with my issue and he has a sense of humour. Fantastic service"
