I walked in to Mr Parkar's office with arthritis in both knees and a torn meniscus in my left knee, life was very uncomfortable at that time and I was very disabled. Mr Parkar recommended a partial knee knee replacement given my age of 62. In August that surgery was completed and only 8 weeks on have my life back and am pain free. The care I received from Mr Parkar and his team at Spire Brentwood was second to none and I would recommend opting for his wonderful care to everyone. Thank you Sir.

I had an appointment with Dr Parkar regarding my knee surgery. From the initial consultation he was very professional and at the same time approachable. During our appointment I felt like I could as as many questions I needed and he always provided detailed answers regarding the surgery and what I could expect. Overall, I’m very pleased about how my surgery went and I would definitely recommend him to others.

Mr Parker really did go above and beyond when it came to fixing my ACL tear. From the initial consultation through to the surgery itself and all the aftercare I felt both in the loop and that he actually cared about me as an individual. I've unfortunately had a few injuries in my time and seen a lot of doctors / consultants but he does stand out as the most caring and just there to get the job done and move on to the next patient. I would highly recommend him to anyone who need something fixing!

I was very nervous about having my knee replaced. Mr Asif Parkar was very reassuring and gave constructive advice to my concerns. He injected my non-operated knee (which has mild worn out meniscus) with steroid cortisol so that it can support my new knee replacement! During the operation, Mr Parkar was very efficient and I followed his pre-op instructions too. The surgery when well. Mr Parkar saw me again soon after the procedure and again listened carefully to my concerns. The first week was rough. I was determined to be back to normality asap and faithfully do my exercises. I am very thankful to Mr Parkar’s great medical and interpersonal skills. I am on my way to full recovery.
