Absolutely brilliant is the main statement. From the start Mr Parkar was supportive. It was a shock that I needed knee replacements. I was thinking that a steroid injection might be needed. But, when he showed me the X-rays and discussed the implications then I knew that it had to be done. The procedure July 2022 (on my right knee) was excellently executed. I remembered his words in the postoperative meeting “It went well”. “We have completed our work,. It is now your turn to contribute by participating effectively in the rehabilitation programme of physiotherapy and well-practiced movement”. What amazed me was that I was walking in a week and able to drive within four weeks. In part that was my contribution, but the surgical procedure must have been excellent to enable me to make that progress. I would recommend Mr Parkar wholeheartedly. In fact, I’m about to embark on knee operation number two on my left knee June 2024. The new right knee is working perfectly enough for me. OK, it is not going to be the knee I had in my 20s and 30s,. but, I have all the functionality I need. I can even kneel on it. People told me I wouldn't be able to. Mr Parker said it can be done using support surfaces or coverings. He is right. I can kneel without any discomfort on the new right knee. Much better than my left knee (which is yet to be done). Yes, I know and can feel something different and there is numbness on the right hand side of the knee. but I can kneel on it better than my left knee. I was terrified going into the first (ever) operation I have had on the right knee and will not be going in for the second left knee. If the second operation goes as well as the first then I will be well pleased.
