My experience is from Nov 25 through to April 26

Benenden telephone system could do with upgrading but you eventually get put through to the correct area

Treatment first class albeit can be slightly disorganised in terms of getting say MRI before one sees consultant but then there is a wait once he/she has authorised the scan.
I saw Nik Bakti who has a very personable manner conveying confidence in his assessment of my various shoulder issues following an MRI such that I went ahead and had Bicep and rotator cuff repairs which turned out to be successful and am now in the post op recovery /rehabilitation period and hope at some stage to return to Racketball/Squash
