I came with my daughter as she needed a Arthrogram. She was very nervous about the procedure. From the minute we got there Jane the imaging assistant made my daughter feel at ease. Once we met Dr Mckean he explained everything in a manner she understood. The whole procedure was painless and over very quickly.

Dr Mckean and Jane were absolute brilliant. Dr McKean took the time to take me through my scans and consult on what was causing my pain. He also explained about the procedure and recovery very clearly. He executed the procedure thoroughly and with minimal discomfort. Dr McKean and Jane also made me feel very relaxed during the procedure. Could not recommend more highly.
5
Impeccable bedside manner, explained the whole procedure well and in detail. I was asked if I had any questions, which I didn’t, but the whole experience was quick and easy and I was kept informed of what was happening throughout. High recommend
