I am very pleased with the results of the treatment on my hands. Dr Shaffer accurately predicted the outcome of my treatment. I found him to be a trustworthy clinician. There has been no further deterioration in functionality and the discomfort has vastly improved.

I paid for my own treatment so it was not insurance based treatment, however, very knowledgeable and friendly staff who helped and advised throughout the process. This was treatment on both hands for Dupuytrens contracture.

My only disappointment with the process is that I believed there was a 3 month final follow-up as part of the overall procedure. It is very disappointing to find that if I want this follow-up I need to pay a further £150. Surely the practise would want a 15 mins closure call?

The doctor was very helpful but I wasn't happy with the first sessions of radiotherapy. I felt as if I was just a number and the nurses were going through the motions. My hand wasn't properly mapped and then they realised that it was the wrong hand AFTER I told them.

I got excellent advise from Dr Shaffer years ago and happily turned to him again recently. After an in depth discussion about all treatment options, likelihoods of outcomes, and weighing pros and cons, we converged on a treatment which was lead by his outstanding expertise.
