Buckinghamshire Hand Surgeon

Buckinghamshire Hand Surgeon Mr Andy Hacker MBBS FRCS(Tr and Orth) Andy qualified from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in 1999.

He continued his postgraduate surgical training in Newcastle upon Tyne, achieving his MRCS exams in 2004. He moved to London in 2005 where he gained a place on the South West Thames specialist orthopaedic training rotation.

West London, including St Georges Hospital, Tooting, where he worked alongside orthopaedic and plastic hand surgeons. He was lucky enough to be offered a fellowship in hand and microsurgery at the prestigious Royal Northshore Hospital in Sydney, Australia where he worked under the supervision of Professor Michael Tonkin, a world-renowned hand surgeon. Following the award of FRCS(Trauma and Orthopaedics) in 2010 and the completion of his training in 2011, he was appointed as the consultant hand and wrist surgeon to Milton Keynes General hospital where he undertakes both elective and emergency surgery to the hand, wrist and shoulder as well as general trauma on call work. As the college tutor for orthopaedics in the hospital Andy takes a very active role in the training, assessment and mentoring of medical students, junior doctors and trainee surgeons; he is also the clinical lead for hip and fragility fractures for the department, ensuring that these patients receive the best possible care and outcome during their admission. Andy is a keen sportsman enjoying rugby, skiing and country sports. He has a passion for cooking and photography and sings regularly in a barbershop choir and quartet, competing to a national level.

Read the full testimonial here ⬇️
I wanted to take this opportunity to express my thanks and appreciation for Mr Hacker.
I had 2 carpal tunnel operations, for which I had been suffering an incredibly long time with.
From the initial consultations and appointments before the operation he was welcoming, and understanding and showed empathy towards what I was going through. He made everything clear and explained everything I needed to know and was happy to answer any questions.

On the day of the operation both times, Mr Hacker greeted me and made me feel at ease for the operation ahead.
He spoke to me about my life and put my mind in a good place when I was having the anaesthetic.
He even played Elvis music as part of our conversation about our favourite artists and what music we like. This was such a personal touch that really made me feel comfortable and that he really cared about my experience and me feeling calm.
He explained everything yet again perfectly clearly and my carpal tunnel operation was hugely successful both times.

After my operation, he made sure to speak to me thoroughly about the aftercare and checked in on me whilst I was still in the hospital.

He prepared the nurses to hand me over everything I needed and book my future appointments for the aftercare and there were absolutely no issues with recovery.

Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a more comfortable experience and I’m very grateful for Mr Hackers' experience, knowledge and understanding of how to make a patient going through an operation feel at ease and have no worries.

I absolutely would recommend him without hesitation to anyone needing the same medical procedures, as I know have my freedom back, am pain-free and able to complete my daily tasks independently that for a long time, I couldn’t do and that’s with enormous thanks to Mr Hacker and the great team at the Saxon clinic.
