Customer testimonials

Some of the nice things people have said about us.

Physical examination of shoulder pain and mobility by specialist surgeon
I would summarise my experience with Dr Baring as very positive. I would like to praise him and his team at the level of care and efficiency they provided during and after my recent shoulder operation. I felt I was in 'good hands' at the hospital before and after the procedure.
My recovery was fast, which attests to Dr Baring's expertise in shoulder surgery.

Highly recommendable specialist with a great support team.
Physiotherapist examining patient's shoulder post-surgery during rehabilitation
Mr Baring is a kind and empathetic surgeon.  He has treated me for degenerative changes and, more recently, a fracture.  His treatment of both has been superb.  At my advanced age he has given me pain-free mobility in both arms.
He has also taken an interest in my health generally; he has gone to the trouble of finding for me a specialist for another problem. I cannot speak more highly of his care.
Anatomical model showing rotator cuff tear and tendon inflammation in shoulder
I would like to compliment Mr Baring and his team, on a superb level of attention and service to a recent shoulder operation I had. His communication, attention to my understanding the complex issues and next steps, and, patience in listening to my questions was superb - the operation, and extremely fast recuperation time (which he specialises in I believe) was very impressive.

FAQs

Can Tennis Elbow heal without surgery?

In most cases, yes. The majority of tennis elbow cases resolve with a combination of rest, physiotherapy, and targeted exercises over several months. Steroid injections can help reduce inflammation in the short term. Surgery is only considered when symptoms have persisted for 6–12 months despite these measures and are significantly affecting your daily life or work. Mr Baring will always explore non-surgical options first before recommending an operation.

How long is recovery from elbow replacement surgery?

Most patients spend one to two nights in hospital following elbow replacement surgery. You will wear a splint for the first few weeks to protect the joint while it heals. Light activities such as dressing and washing can usually resume within two to four weeks. Driving typically returns at around six to eight weeks, and most patients reach their full functional recovery — including a significant reduction in pain — by four to six months. Heavy lifting and high-impact activities are generally avoided long-term to protect the implant.
