I would highly recommend Claire Fitzgerald for shoulder injuries. I had a partial tear in one of my shoulder muscles. Claire explained things very clearly, so I understood what was causing the pain and the restricted movement in my arm. Importantly even though Claire is a consultant surgeon, she was open to alternatives to surgery given my case was not too severe. After a couple of months including physio, my shoulder and arm were pretty much back to normal and continue to be fine.

Claire was very empathetic as well as sympathetic, taking trouble to fully explain necessary steps, choices and ways to address the emerging conditions.

Miss Fitzgerald is a very caring and extremely helpful consultant. I felt relaxed with her at every consultation. She explained everything to me in detail and any questions from me was never a bother to answer. Her professionalism at all times was warm and kind. She was easy to speak too professionally and otherwise. A brilliant consultant
