Whatever type of surgery you are considering, it is vital that you feel supported and fully informed throughout.

Miss O’Brien did a needle aponeurotomy for Dupuytrens in one of my fingers. The tendon was stubborn and she worked patiently and carefully with little discomfort resulting in my finger now having a very much greater range of movement. The staff at the Pulvertaft Hand Centre are wonderful, so friendly, efficient and engaging and in the short time I have spent with Miss O’Brien, she took time to build a rapport between us which makes such a difference as a patient receiving advice and treatment. Can highly recommend visiting Dr Mary and the Pulvertaft Hand Centre.

Dr O’ Brien is courteous, professional and skilful. After putting my mind at rest she conducted the procedure effectively and with good grace. It’s hard to imagine that my experience could be improved

Had needle Aponeurotmy today and apart from a sharp scratch at the start felt no pain. Miss o brien is excellent at what she does and my fingers are a lot straighter than before. I would highly recommend her.

Having met Mary a few times and discussing my options on what we would think would be the best options for my hand surgery.. Mary made me feel special respectful and not just a number. The surgery was amazing and pain free which was a worry of mine as I don’t do well with pain. But before I knew it I was back in recovery room and off home with in a few hours..Her staff were amazing nothing was to much trouble could not do enough for me. And as for Mary I don’t think I’ve come across anybody like her.

Miss O’Brien did a needle aponeurotomy for my dupytrens. In less than 2 minutes she almost straightened my finger with very little discomfort. We had discussed whether I should wait for fasciotomy as I had on 2 previous occasions since she honestly did not guarantee the aponeurotomy would make much difference. I’m so glad that I decided to try aponeurotomy and even if the improvement had not been so dramatic it would still have been worth while since the discomfort was so minor in any case. I was very happy to be going home with a straight finger and just a sticking plaster that I removed the next day. So much less hassle than fasciotomy. Definitely recommend if you are offered it.

My right hand was beginning to look like a claw but today Mary O’ Brian has made it so much flatter. Lovely, kind woman, very profession and caring. I was told by another hospital that nothing other than an operation would put right my dupytrons ( if I’ve spelt that right) but they were wrong. Delighted with the result. Thank you so much to yourself and all your staff 🤗🤗

Surprised and delighted by Dr Mary on Friday. I have Dupuytrens contracture in several fingers. I had myself referred to the Pulvertaft Hand centre to get my right little finger released. Dr Mary could have just done that one and let me walk away, but no, she told me she can help with the other fingers (which I’d been told will need open surgery), there and then. I decided to trust her and fifteen minutes later saw my whole hand move in ways that it hasn’t in years. What a result! Thanks Doc, that was amazing!

I contacted Miss O’Brien about the removal of a BCC from my nose. She put me at ease straight away and explained the options. She was caring and professional and I was able to have the procedure done soon afterwards. A month on from the removal, the scar is hardly noticeable. Thank you so much.
