Mr Parker was very attentive and professional and explained exactly what he was going to do and why. Considering I have quite bad arthritis he did an amazing job on my knee, which has resulted in an immediate positive affect.

On March 7th this year (2022) I had a total hip replacement and was operated on by Mr. Parker. I cannot thank him and his team enough for the care and treatment I received, I went into the hospital as a virtual cripple and came out two days later a different person, it really has been a life-changing experience for me. I would also like to mention the care I received on the ward from all the staff, I could not have been looked after better.

At 60 years of age, this (knee replacement ) was the first major surgery that I have ever had (and the first overnight stay in a hospital) Mr Parkar was very informative, caring and professional throughout the procedure (right from the first meeting) The surgery went well and (almost 3 months later) I am recovering very well. I am very much looking forward to having my other knee replaced by him.

I would totally recommend using Mr Asif Parkar, who performed a Total Knee Replacement procedure on my Left Knee, 8 weeks ago and I am know totally pain free, walk unaided and now finally able to drive. The procedure Mr. Parkar performed has totally transformed my life, giving me back my freedom but most notably, being mobile with the lack of pain, is something I can never thank Mr Parkar enough for. I think a special mention is worth noting, is the sensitivity and care Mr Parkar showed throughout my treatment, always there to explain and advise the way forward and offering his availability at all times should I have any questions. I would also like to thank the all the medical staff I was in contact with at the Spire Hartswood Hospital during my short stay, for their exceptional care and dedication to patient care that will not be forgotten or have gone unnoticed, great team, many thanks. Finally, once again, I would like to offer my gratitude and thanks to Mr Parkar for his exceptional skills and in giving me back my long lost freedom, you are a Star, keep up the excellent work. D.
