"Please pass my sincere thank you to Mr Jeffery for the successful operation of my fractured right clavicle, for the follow up and directions afterwards…
After completing physiotherapy, I have fully recovered, and I don’t have any limitations. I have full movement and I can lift weights. Effectively my right hand now feels that same way as my healthy left one. I must also add that whenever I was seen by either nurses or physiotherapists everyone was impressed by how nice and neat the wound was stitched."
