It was a phone consultation regarding a recent MRI scan and the results thereof
I had a severe SLAP tear and bicep tenodesis . Henry demonstrated confidence and professionalism from start to finish. He was approach was clear and considered which gave me confidence in his decisions despite the complexity in the diagnosis and treatment . 3 months on I have substantially full range of movement and on track for a full recovery .
it was very good but I felt that i needed to ask a couple of questions that he should have brought up himself.
Dr Henry Colaco was very professional and helpful during my visit with him. He listened to my concerns and came up with a plan to investigate my symptoms.
My treatment was second to none. Everything was explained on what was going to happen with my operation and what would happen when I woke up. Care and treatment excellent
Well organised well structured and clear efficiently way firward
Mr Colaco was very professional and knowledgable, and taking additional precautions and tests to ensure the diagnosis is correct. I was very confident with his advice and treatments offered.
Mr Colaço was exceptionally clear in his account of my MRI scan findings and the possible alternative approaches to treatment. He made time to speak to me by zoom, which enabled me to see exactly what the problem was. I expect to make a decision very early this coming week on the procedure I'll undergo. So: all very positive.
Mr Colaco is a brilliant surgeon. He performed Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair and long head Biceps Tenodesis on my left shoulder. He was amazing from my first appointment through to the procedure, being informative and very caring at all times. He showed me images pre-operation and after. I am recovering well without much pain and less use of painkillers. . I am very grateful to Mr Colaco for the excellent surgery and thankful to his superb team. I have already recommended him to a couple of friends and will do to others and family. A big thank you.
