Dr Kenneth Cutbush Shoulder Clinic

Dr Cutbush performed a reverse shoulder replacement on my left shoulder on 10 April 1994. The surgery went very smoothly and I am very happy with the result and the speed of recovery. Dr Cutbush was willing to discuss a treatment other than total reverse shoulder replacement, but cautioned that this treatment involved a bigger operation and was less successful than reverse shoulder replacement, particularly as my rotator cuff was badly damaged. Dr Cutbush talked me through every aspect of the surgery, from the fashioning of the titanium guide made specifically for my shoulder, to the anticipated range of motion on my 3D CT scan, the necessity and location of the bone graft taken from the humeral head, and sending me videos both post-surgery and after x-rays were taken. In my experience, I believe Dr Cutbush is an exemplary surgeon and I would recommend him to anyone with shoulder issues. He has a friendly communicative manner and gave me ample opportunities to ask questions. Dr Cutbush's admin team was also very good.

I had shoulder surgery with Dr Ken Cutbush. Throughout each stage of the journey Dr Cutbush & his team made me felt at ease by stepping me through the journey with added details i’d never experienced with any other doctor, like personalised post op videos, information packs, post op wellbeing check. It was awesome having such helpful front office personnel to answer any questions from sick notes to private health queries.

Thank you Dr Cutbush & Team for giving my shoulder the best chance for a full recovery

Dr Kenneth Cutbush is a top class, first rate medical practitioner. He is an exceptional world class shoulder surgeon. He leads a terrific, high quality team who leave no stone unturned to deliver exceptional service for patients. Many thanks all. Professor Paul Burnett

Had massive shoulder instability and pain for many years however, Dr Cutbush operating skills are great and very precise. The surgery was very successful and healing process was very quick due to, Cutbushes exceptional skills as a surgeon!

I just cannot speak highly enough about Dr Cutbush and his team. I have had two shoulder reverse replacements and from start to finish it was an enjoyable experience and knowing I was in the best possible hands took all worries away. The result is I haven’t fully working shoulders and absolutely no pain whatsoever. Thank you so much.

Dr Cutbush did both my AC joint and repair of a tare in my shoulder. Extremely professional service, procedure went perfect and recovery was speedy. Can highly recommend his services.

I cannot rate Dr Cutbush and the team highly enough. From the initial consultation through to the post operative and rehab phase I have felt supported and informed about every aspect of my treatment. The admin team were meticulous in planning and coordinating various appointments and were always quick to respond to my enquiries. I had one minor post operative query and contacted Dr Cutbush directly and received an immediate response. I have great confidence in Dr Cutbush as a surgeon and his respectful disposition with his patients. (Reverse Total Shoulder Replacement)

Dr Cutbush went in to fix my shoulder issues which included detaching and reattaching my bicep tendon. From the outset I was impressed with the whole process. The post surgery care to date as I'm still recovering has been second to none. I really liked the post operative video and take home pack as it left nothing unexplained. I would highly recommend Dr Cutbush and his entire team. I have had several surgeries and this has been my best experience.
Thank you again Dr Cutbush and team.

I had cause to have shoulder surgery from Dr Cutbush recently. From my first consultation until my discharge from the hospital, I received a professional and level of medical expertise I have not seen before. I am very happy with the level of service and expert medical knowledge coupled with a very personal approach from Dr Cutbush and his team. I would recommend Dr Cutbush for any upper limb surgery.

Hi Everyone

It has been just over 5 weeks since my shoulder surgery and i am so pleased with the outcome. After the first 2 weeks of pain and discomfort i am mostly pain free and have not been pain free for the last 3+ years. I haven't had any pain medication for the last 3 weeks.

I would highly recommend

Dr Kenneth Cutbush and his practice for any shoulder procedure you require. The staff before my procedure and after my procedure have been so helpful with all my enquiries.

I have seen other specialists before Dr Kenneth Cutbush and they were very disappointing and showed no care at all.

I am so pleased i chose Dr Kenneth Cutbush to do my procedure.

Regards

I've had L) & R) Shoulder Rotator Cuff Repair December 2022 & June 2023. Dr Cutbush took time to explain my surgical treatment plan and options, his knowledge, demeanour and ability to connect always put me at ease. I experienced nil to very minimal post operative pain for both procedures.

His staff are all very professional, friendly, and extremely helpful ensuring I received particular appointment dates I needed.

If you have shoulder problems Dr Cutbush is the only surgeon you should be seeing.

Excellent result, despite being sceptical leading up to the surgery as I had been told that getting any more than 40% improvement was unlikely ,by people outside of including other surgeons. Very happy with the results and would recommend Dr Cutbush to other tradies I know with similar problems.

This is my second review for Dr Cutbush. I unfortunately have got a staphylococcus infection in my shoulder joint replacement, some 5 years after the surgery was done. Under no circumstance was the infection related to the original surgery. Despite this Dr Cutbush has came to my rescue and although I haven't had my next surgery to replace the original implant I have been very well looked after. Not looking forward to another surgery and all the rehabilitation afterwards, but I know I'm in the hands of the best there is, and that gives me great comfort and peace of mind.

I've had nothing but a great experience from start to finish with Dr Cutbush!! I was really nervous at the beginning. From everything that I heard about shoulder operations being hit and miss. If I can be honest I had my doubts But Dr Cutbush is on another level when it comes to shoulder surgery. He is truly gifted. My operation went perfectly. I'm healing well and I feel great. The scars are so small that they are hardly noticeable and they continue to diminish day by day. I really feel like I'm in great hands with Dr Cutbush, He did an outstanding job!! What he did for me is life changing ! Thank you Dr Cutbush 🙏 I'm looking forward to our 6 week post opp appointment.

I am now seven weeks post-surgery, having had a Reverse Total Shoulder Replacement performed by Dr Kenneth Cutbush. Being a retired consultant anaesthetist, I have worked with many surgeons, orthopaedic specialists included and have seen their work close up. This leaves me particularly well placed to assess the quality of a surgeon and their team.
I cannot recommend Ken Cutbush more highly. Not only is he a dedicated and technically excellent surgeon, his explanations and directions to his patients are detailed, exact and written and formatted in a language that all can understand. Nothing is left to chance. His staff (which he has obviously hand-picked) are bright, cheerful, courteous and competent. Nothing is a problem for them, their attitude is always positive and helpful. They compliment Dr Ken Cutbush's work ethic, admirably.
From my perspective as a patient, the surgery went perfectly. I had next to no post operative pain, was out of hospital in a sling in two days and by two weeks and one day, I had a greater range of movement with less pain than I had in the months prior to the operation.
At seven weeks Post-Op, I can now swim freestyle, something that I had to give up five years ago and, although I still have to wait another five weeks before starting light weight training, I could not be happier with my progress after what is a major and complex procedure. If anyone is looking to have a Reverse Total Shoulder Replacement, look no further. You won't do better than go to Ken Cutbush.

Ken & the team have been fantastic to deal with. When I first injured my shoulder and I was searching for who to see for my treatment I couldn’t look past Kenneth Cutbush. The reviews, extensive website and his dedication to research is incomparable.
From the consultations to the aftercare I know I’ve received 5 star care.
Post surgery Ken provided me with valuable photos and videos explaining my surgery and how it all went. I was kept informed and cared for under strict instructions.
Now I’m 7 weeks post op and the care continues, his physio and the follow up has been equally as good.
I can’t thank them enough for giving me my life back. Although not yet fully recovered I have the utmost confidence I’ll be brand new in 6 months time.
Thank you Ken and team

My name is Gary moore, my consultation with Ken Cutbush about my shoulder blew me away, he found out through MIR scan of a torn rotator cuff, that another surgeon didn’t tell me,only Bursa problems,nothing about a torn tendon that was 25 to 30mm long.Dr Cutbush is very professional in the work he has done on my shoulder, just over a week from my consultation he operated on my shoulder at St Andrew’s war memorial hospital.The staff and everyone was absolutely wonderful, only had to stay overnight,but very thankful for there professionalism. Dr Cutbush ,I like to thank him very much,no more pain,had it for years ,would had have a dozen cortisone in it,and now it’s fixed properly.I have other shoulder to do down the track,and I will be getting Dr Cutbush to do that one two. In my third week of rehab and all going well, again thank you Dr Kenneth Cutbush.

I highly recommend Dr Cutbush and his staff! From the initial consultation through to successful surgery and rehab, Dr Cutbush has been involved in the entire process. His staff have been extremely professional and helpful with any questions or concerns I had along the way. Having a PT/rehab background, I was acutely aware of the importance of receiving the best treatment for my shoulder, which I am relieved to say, that is what Dr Cutbush delivered. I could not be anymore satisfied and and thankful for him and his team.

Excellent communication and a thorough explanation of the procedure was given to me. Professional, caring and excellent bedside manner. Dr Cutbush gave a comprehensive review of my surgery post op with a video and photographs. I was afforded every opportunity to ask questions and I was made aware of post op requirements. Dr Cutbush attended me prior to surgery and reassured me which gave me confidence. I am very grateful to have been treated by Dr Cutbush and I know I will have a good outcome due to his excellence in the field of shoulder surgery. All of the staff at Dr Cutbush's rooms are friendly and professional. I was given comprehensive information regarding the surgery and what was required from me. The staff were welcoming and friendly at all times as well as being available to answer any questions. The atmosphere at the clinic is one of a cohesive happy team which makes for relaxed patients and reduces any anxiety. My experience has been a very positive one and I cannot rate Dr Cutbush and his staff highly enough.

Gold Standard pre and post op treatment for L) Shoulder (Dec 2022) & R) Shoulder (Jun 2023) Rotator Cuff Repair.

I’m forever grateful and very very fortunate that my husband received treatment and care from Dr Cutbush and his amazing team. He managed to operate the following week due to personal time constraints initially for the L) shoulder. He is pain free post;
- 7 months L) shoulder
- 5 weeks R) shoulder

Dr Cutbush is the only shoulder surgeon you should be seeing.

One of the most professional and caring specialists I have encountered. Everything was explained fully and every question or concern answered. Surgery went well and after-care exceptional. His administration staff are all lovely and always answered any emails promptly. His website is very comprehensive and I found it very helpful.
