A pleasure to meet Rupert, and his ability to communicate the issue was much appreciated. What came up for me, was his pragmatic approach to the issue, he explained all the options and we decided to go with a steroid injection (Booked and done the same afternoon) and an invitation to come back at any time if we decide to go with the minor surgery to de-nerve the wrist. He comes from the new school of clear communication.

Mr Wharton is the nicest and most personable doctor. He was genuinely interested in resolving my wrist pain, asked good questions, listened attentively, explained my condition and possible solutions in terms that I could understand. I didn’t feel rushed at all and left this appointment feeling really positive about the experience and the next steps in my treatment
