Testimonials

Dear Mr Sorene
Well, as you reassured me then, I did regain full movement and strength in my wrist and resumed all sports in February. Yesterday, I played in a charity golf event for Maccabi GB and won longest drive
You may recall you operated on my wrist in late November when it broke in 3 places after a fall whilst running. At the time, I was very concerned if I would be able to sports again, like tennis and golf.
and overall winner (see attached photo with my winnings from the day). I think my new wrist is even better than the old one!!

Thank you very much for putting me back together, I feel stronger than ever!!

All the best,

I would like to thank Mr Sorene for a wonderful result on my middle finger on my right hand, which had what was described as extremely severe contracture. A 100% correction has been achieved and 7 days after receiving the Xiapex treatment I have full function back and little evidence that I ever had Dupuytrens in my right hand at all. I managed to see Mr Sorene whilst in London seeing the Olympics, a gold medal is deserved at least. The follow up at the Alexandra hospital in Manchester with his recommended hand therapist Rachel Delaney, was also fantastic, she described the result as amazing. I look forward to returning to London to treat my left hand.’

Mr Sorene not only do you have the ‘X’ factor you have the ‘wow’ factor also. Can you imagine my delight on 21/10/15 when I looked at my finger – 90 degrees to 180 degrees flat. A miracle. After fourteen days I felt confident to drive my car, put my contact lenses in without poking my eye out and shake hands without the fear of pain. Words cannot express my deepest thanks and emotions. Kindest regards.

Dear Mr Sorene

It has been just 6 weeks since the injection in my right hand for Dupuytren’s contractures. I just wanted to let you know that the recovery and the outcome has turned out much better than I hoped for before the procedure. Not only do I now have a straight finger, it is pain free and the bruising and swelling has completely healed. Overall therefore I am delighted with the outcome and wanted to thank you personally for such an excellent and efficient approach and your skilled treatment throughout. I know where to come if it happens again-which is hopefully some years away!

with my best wishes

عزيزي الدكتور سورين

أكتب لك هذا الجواب تعبيرا عن امتناني لك.

في البداية أود أن أشكرك على صبرك معي منذ البداية حتى النهاية.

لقد أتيت لك و حالتي شبه ميؤس منها بعد اجراء الجراحة الاولى لي في مصر بعد حادثة السيارة المشئومة التى اصابتني بلاكتأب الشديد و كنت فاقدة الامل فى استعادة يدي اليمنى لعدة كسور بالكف الايمن و الرسغ.

الحمد لله بفضل الله و فضلك اجريت لى جراحتين بنجاح و عدت الى عملي و استعدت حياتي الطبيعية مع عائلتي مرة اخرى رغم صعوبة الجراحة.

مع العلم انك ستكون المرشح الاول في حالة وجود حالة شبه حالتي.

لك جزيل الشكر و الاحترام و التقدير

Dear Mr Sorene

I never make stupid mistakes. Only clever ones.Though having said that, I think that slicing my thumb was probably a little stupid! A BIG thank you, Elliot, for such a brilliantly reassuring super-prompt response to my thumb panic. It made a huge difference to know I had such a top expert looking after me. As you rightly predicted my thumb is looking almost 100% and it even performed pretty well at surf school in Brazil.

Very best wishes

SS - Patient

Dear Mr Sorene

I thought I would write and tell you how pleased I am with the results of the carpal tunnel operation. You did not promise me 100% success but gave me the options. So I feel I must let you know that my hand is so improved. That I think I could call it 98% better. I am grateful for your expertise. So many thanks again. I hope you are well.

Just a quick note to say thank you for the great job that you made on my fractured metacarpal of my right hand.The fact that the hand is back to 100% will always be important to me. I guess you are used to doing these great things so it has become routine, but for me it is a big deal!

Dear Mr Sorene,

You recently treated a lady who has been a personal friend of mine for over 50 years. I was saddened to learn of the problems she had aquired following her initial treatment at her local hospital. I write to thank you for seeing and operating on her so promptly. She is clearly delighted with the outcome. Thanks for restoring her faith in medicine and particularly orthopaedics!

Thanks

Dear Elliot

You were the surgeon who did a brilliant job on my left wrist. I’m told it was quite a complicated and delicate procedure that was required and your colleagues are all very impressed by the scans of the finished product. I just wanted to send you my grateful thanks and admiration for your care and skill in treating me.

Your sincerely

Elliot,

The hand in fact has been fantastic since the operation. I wanted to say thanks for sorting it out. The hand was great and caused no problems in the Yukon at all. Thanks again Elliot.

Dear Elliot

A note to say thanks so much for your wonderful care and attention through my troubles. As you know my uncle died at 4am and at 12ish I broke my wrist – not my greatest day – but the luck was finding you. I appreciate so much your first class professional care giving confidence and believe me I needed that and your amusing and laid back sense of humour!! I thank you so much again for everything. As you can see on this card the intricate hand-work I do when making fans- mother of pearl is very brittle and breaks easily, so I need to be very gentle but firm- you have given that back to me.

Sincerely

JD - Patient

Dear Mr Sorene

I write you this letter in an expression of gratitude. At first I would like to thank you for your patience with me since the beginning until the end. I have come to you after my first surgery in Egypt, after a bad car accident that I became obsessed with and depressed of, I had lost hope in the restoration of my hand for several fractures in my right hand and wrist. I always thank God and you, You undertook two surgeries successfully and I am back to work and to my normal life with my family despite the difficulty of the surgery. You will always be my reference in any case of your speciality.

Thank you very much, with respect and appreciation

YH - Patient

Dear Mr Sorene

I am so grateful to have had the benefit of all your knowledge and understanding. It feels like a miracle to have my wrist and hand back, and to know that the improvements will continue. Thank you Mr Sorene – a heartfelt thanks beyond words.

PWB - Patient

I am just writing to let you know what an extraordinary standard of care I have had as a patient of the Hand and Wrist Unit at UCH. I had a complicated wrist fracture in 2008 and after 5 months of management at another teaching hospital I still had a very reduced range of finction in my right hand. I was advised from many sources to be referred to Mr Elliot Sorene for an opinion. Mr Sorene was professional, kind and communicated really well regarding the medical problems and my options. He operated on my wrist in June and I have had a dramatic increase in hand function and a reduction in all of the pain.

Thank You

With best wishes

PF - Patient

Dear Elliot

Thank you for seeing me yesterday and more importantly ‘curing’ me. Despite you saying I may have pain all I have experienced is a lack of pain whatsoever!! I really appreciate your help.

Kind regards

GW - Patient

Dear Mr Sorene

I brought my daughter A to see you and I am writing to let you know how much I appreciated your time, and how grateful and relieved I was with the information that you gave to me. A is my whole life and I felt a great sense of relief. For the first time since A was born I feel that her situation is being taken seriously and dealt with properly and that is all thanks to you. I will be truly grateful to you for the rest of my life, and I am sure A will too when she’s old enough to understand what you have done for us.

Thank you form the bottom of my heart

Yours Faithfully

CB - Patient's Parent

Dear Mr Sorene

It’s times like these that words fail to express gratitude to someone who has made a difference of great value to our lives. A person like yourself rises above mediocrity to touch another person in a situation of great distress and vulnerability. People like yourself are God sent to make a difference to change and speak words of life through your hands as a surgeon. We wish to thank you for being the instrument the Lord used to save H’s wrist.

With kind regards and respect

Dear Elliot

This weekend I will be playing my first professional concert since my operation… and for the first time in almost three years I am genuinely looking forward to it! I cannot thank you enough for restoring me to full physical and musical ‘health’. I know that you are rather itinerant – but I hope you find somewhere suitable to hang this beautiful nineteenth century plate… an emblem of my infinite gratitude.

Dear Mr Sorene,

I hope you are well. I just wanted to drop you a quick line to say thank you a million times over for the operation I had in January. I cannot even begin to tell you how incredible my hand feels. It is literally like having a totally different hand. I have been with pain for so long, I’d forgotten what it was like to have a normal hand… And I am now entirely without any pain. Thank you very much!

Thanks a million Mr Sorene without you this would not be possible!

Thank you for being such a good student and becoming a fantastic doctor. BIG Thank you for fixing my wrist. 🙂

NC (6 year old) - Patient

Dear Mr Sorene

I hope all’s well with you. I wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the result of the surgery you gave me to release the trapped tendons in my left wrist following problems with de quervains syndrome and trigger thumb. It is now almost 4 months post surgery and everything is working well and I think possibly still improving. I had very little discomfort during the recovery period and had some excellent help of the Hand Therapy Clinic to restore strength and flexibility and soften the scars. Most important of all, I am now playing my violin again and back playing in an amateur orchestra, as well as being able to do normal activities without any pain!

So a big thank you for your skill and expertise which really seems like magic. I am very grateful indeed.

LP - Patient

Dear Mr Sorene,

Thank you very much for what you have done for our daughter A. The extension you have given back in her arm has made a vast improvement to the appearance of it and also to A’s confidence. We never came to London looking for a miracle but what you have given us a s a family is not far off. Thank you!

Anon - Parent

Dear Mr Sorene,

Just a brief note of thanks to you. One of the nurses said you are a genius and I think they may be right. In just 2 days I have great movement and little pain. Thank you for all this. Please send my thanks  too to Dr Basi. No ill effects from the anaesthetic. I am seeing Susan To at the Hand Therapy Clinic on Monday and will then, I think, be ready to see you.
