Dr James McLean - Upper Limb & Shoulder Surgeon

I had a shoulder operation wit Dr James McLean and I am very happy with the result. After two months from having my operation I have 75% movement of my shoulder and very minimal pain. Very happy with the outcome.
I would highly recommend Dr James McLean to anyone needing a shoulder operation.
Very professional and very caring.

Dr James and his team were very thorough and helpful in all preparation & conversations so my husband & I were fully informed and confident about the procedures. I had been very nervous about the procedures that were planned but was reassured by Dr Mclean's friendly approach and willingness to answer all questions in detail.
Thank you very much. Anne

Can't speak highly enough of Dr James McLean and his staff.
Kept us informed every step of the wayspeaking in terms we could understand.
My husband was especially impressed with the phone from Dr McLean after each surgery.
Great outcome.

Peter my husband, has had 3 operations by Dr James McLean. Right thumb trapeziectomy in 2021. Followed by right and left shoulder repairs in 2023.
Dr McLean carried out each operation with the utmost care and professionalism. He also took time to explain every step of the way for the operations.
Excellent results every time.

I would like to thank Dr James McLean, his team and the staff at Ashford Hospital for looking after me. The whole experience was done with a high level of professionalism and care from start to finish. I am so thankful my General Practitioner for referring me to Dr McLean, as I cannot imagine any other Surgeon providing the same level of attention and expertise. I highly recommend Dr McLean and his team for any surgery of the upper limb. Thank you for everything Dr McLean.

What can I say week 6 full range of motion. He listened to my issues and what I would like for the end result. Still have a way to go but looks good at this stage. The whole team from office staff to Dr James McLean and his team have been great.

Excellent advice pre surgery and an outstanding result so far. This is my second shoulder surgery (other arm) and I have recommended Dr. McLean to others who need help with their shoulder issues. The professionalism displayed by the team made me comfortable with my decision to have them treat me.

The professionalism of this firm from Courtney the receptionist to Dr James McLean was always 1st. Class at every stage of my treatment would recommend this firm without hesitation thank you James

So happy with James. Amazing outcome post surgery and available to discuss any questions what felt like 24: 7 post surgery. Highly recommended surgeon!

James Mclean would have to be one of the best surgeon around in his field.
Has operated both hands on me and extra work and they feel good. Highly recommend for carpal tunnel surgery.
Thanks James to you and your team and great staff.

Second time with James and his team. Amazing. The care and professionalism is outstanding. Highly recommend.

Exceptional service. Post surgury follow ups and check ins with the practice, clear and concise instructions. Very well conducted business. Well done to all staff

I ruptured my bicep tendon in my left shoulder, because I had done my right shoulder 6 years earlier, I knew the surgery had to be ASAP. Dr McClean did the surgery 11 days after the injury. The bicep looks great.
If you intend having surgery it needs to be done in 2 to 3 weeks from the injury, you don't have time to waste.

Amazing pre op and post op service from team McLean. Nothing was too much trouble and I’ve recovered two weeks ahead of schedule with minimal discomfort

This review is on behalf of my husband Tony, who underwent shoulder surgery twice with Dr McLean (left in Sept '21 & right in Feb '22). We were very appreciative of Dr McLean's thoughtful manner, professionalism and high skill level. Tony's recovery is outstanding and we couldn't recommend Dr McLean highly enough!

Very pleasant. Explained procedure clearly.
Did not feel pressured to have surgery. Seemed very efficient.
