“…I still have more work to do with the physios, but just in advance seeing him next week I thought he would be pleased to see the below clip/photos- doing the 2 things I love most again today – surgery (as a vet) and piano playing. I remain forever in his debt, and am eternally grateful for his expertise, the support of his hand team, and to yourself for your prompt action and understanding in organising emergency appointments for me over the phone, both whilst I was travelling back from France, and when I developed further complications when Mr Horwitz was away. I am so truly grateful to you all for giving me my hand function back. ”

“A big thank you to Mr Horwitz and his team for their care and attention in their treatment plan for my finger injury. After a thorough investigation and injection I managed to avoid an operation and the pain has eased dramatically. Thank you once again for providing a first class service”
— tendon injury patient May 2018
“I just wanted to say a big thank you to Mr Horwitz – I am so delighted with both operations and wish I had had them done ages ago. Please would you pass this on to him – so often people do not bother to say thank you! It really was so easy and painless and if there is anyone who I know has this problem, or indeed any hand problem, I will point in his direction immediately!”

“Dear Karen, This morning I saw Mr. Horwitz, who did the manipulation of my hand (following my collagenese injection earlier this week). Could you, please, be so kind as to convey to him my thanks for the admirable way it was done. Not only the actual procedure and the accompanying explanations and instructions for the coming days, but also his kind and caring way of communicating with his patient made us happy and grateful. Kind regards”

“Thank you sir for your attention and prompt action. My wife and father-in-law spoke highly of you both for your concern and attention given to my son K. If he ever plays professional basketball you will surely be partners with that hand My family & wife and I will be for ever grateful to you both. GOD bless you all”
— parent, injured child 2017
“Dear Karen Could you thank Mr Horwitz on my behalf for the op performed last Tuesday. It all looks very neat and my hand is soon going to wake up; having been asleep for hundred days & years like Sleeping Beauty. The hand physio gave me excellent treatment today too. Thank you”
— carpal tunnel patient, 2017
“I’d like to thank Mr Horwitz for his diagnosis and recommendation for physiotherapy, which I have already started. I found him to be professional, friendly and reassuring, and would very happily recommend him to anyone with a hand-related injury.”
“I have been under the care of Mr Horwitz to surgically manage implant/tendon complications following emergency ORIF surgery that I received in France to treat distal radial and ulna fractures of my right forearm after a fall last September.”
“….i broke my wrist in a bike accident last year…. the flexibility in my wrist has come back nearly 100%. I managed to go through an entire 90 minute advanced yoga class the other day and didnt feel uncomftable once. This is all down to the incredible service, expertise and support i received from Mr Horwitz and my brilliant physiotherapist. Thanks so much …”
— wrist fracture patient, 2016
“Thank you for everything you’ve done for me. I would also like to thank you for being such a decent guy; you treated me like an actual person AND gave me the use of my right hand again. Your care and kindness was appreciated so much…”
“…. The comment about press ups in my most recent clinic letter really got me motivated so please see the attached clip!! I am most grateful for your handiwork Max. Thank you so much … I would be most honoured to have my video on your website to show people how well you can do if you do your exercises.”
“Wanted to say a belated Thank You for the amazing work on my wrist (I was the lady who broke her wrist when 32 weeks pregnant last summer). I’m back racing triathlons on it and strength wise in the pool it’s feeling as good as new. I’ve qualified for the European Masters open water in Slovenia in Sept and don’t even doubt it’s strength in the bun fight that is the start of open water races! I remember asking you when I’d be able to do press ups again…incase it’s useful for other clients, my first (knees down) press ups were around 10/12 weeks post surgery. The only thing that feels a bit weird with it still is tricep dips.”

Thanks for seeing me urgently before the Games and all your help and patience. It was a pretty stressful time for me! We absolutely LOVED our time in London and the whole Olympics for us was an incredible experience from the actual competing, to the volunteers, to the closing ceremony we enjoyed all of it. Thanks again!”

“… Just a brief note to say thank you very much for operating on my wrist and after care. I was in shock after my fall in India and fracturing my wrist. When we first met you were reassuring, kind and professional. You took the time to explain and informed me that my wrist will never be as before (as it was broken in a million pieces!!) – 50% would be a good result. Even with this odds, i felt safe and reassured that you will be doing the best for me before going into the operating theatre. Once again many thanks …..”
