(as a parent/guardian),

We would like to say thank you for all the help and care you have provided for our 8yr old daughter so far. Following her presentation with ankle pain and impaired mobility, the Consultant Radiologist, Dr Hossain, quickly organised an MRI identifying concerns that required urgent specialist paediatric orthopaedic attention, which she promptly received. Our daughter was seen by Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, Mr Tiruveedhula, who was professional, approachable and able to communicate his concerns of the likely need for surgery to us and our daughter in a way that could be easily understood. He also allowed time for our understandable questions and really involved us all in the decision making process.

Alongside the excellent care given by Mr Tiruveedhula, at each visit the plaster clinic nurses, Paula, Zoe & Ricky, were personable & professional, with a pleasant bedside manner that has provided support & encouragement at a time it was needed. Additionally, we have received excellent physiotherapy support by Kevin & team, to get our daughter back to her normal playful self. A credit to the NHS!
