Underwent a complex shoulder repair on the NHS after a freak accident. Mr Shields’ incredible skill saved my shoulder, avoiding a replacement. No complex jargon, clear post-op instructions, and regular follow-ups. Very skilled at his job – forever grateful!

Dr Shields is an extremely talented, polite and caring surgeon. I had a substantial shoulder injury that David repaired successfully and has never felt stronger. I can't say enough how grateful I am for the support.
