Mr Joideep Phadnis

Written by a private patient at The Montefiore Hospital

I have been receiving care from Joideep following surgery at the RSCH in January. Joideep has recently been required to operate and remove the infected plate from my elbow. Whilst it has been a lengthy journey his care has been excellent and I hope now well on the road to a permanent recovery. as well as excellent clinical care his tome keeping for appointments and general communication is excellent.

Whilst riding my bike it decided to eject me from the seat which caused a significant fracture at the top of my right arm. Everything was explained to me in non medical speak by Mr Phadnis. The operation went as it was meant to do. The follow up appointments were seamless and, again, everything was explained and my questions answered. The scar is healing so successfully it does not reflect the seriousness and trauma of the injury. Whilst I would have preferred to have not met Mr Phadnis, due to my situation, I am glad I did!

Following over 2 years of failed tennis elbow non-op treatment including 2 steroid injections, monthly physio and acupuncture. The pain was becoming debilitating, making it hard to deal with day to day activities including work, washing, eating and sleeping. After meeting with Mr Phadnis who identified a partial tear also in a tendon we agreed open surgery to release and repair my left elbow was the best way forward. Three months on and I haven't looked back. Within 2 months I had made significant progress and can now get back on with my life and the ultimate goal of some racket sports and cricket in the future. I can't thank Mr Phadnis and the team enough for giving me my left arm back!

Firstly I must apologise to Mr Phadniss, my review is very late after such fantastic work on fixing my self inflicted injury. Back in Jul 2020, I had a trip at work and completely shattered my left elbow, it wasn't a big fall or fall from height but one of those stupid trip over and inch high doorstep. This happened on 21st July 2020 and after going to William Harvey hospital and getting checked out thinking I had just perhaps dislocated it, they booked me in for surgery on the Fri 24th, but due to the severity of the break they informed me on Thur 23rd forwarded me to someone more specialized, that being Mr Phadnis and I am grateful for it. Travelled down to Brighton to the Royal Sussex County Hospital early Mon 27th morning with the help of friends as I was due book in for 8am. Around 9am, I was taken to consolation area and meet and spoke with Mr Phadnis. Whom explained what was going to happen and possible side effects/dangers. Very clam and educate and made you feel comfortable with the whole procedure. They removed the cast they had put on keep my elbow together while awaiting the few days before surgery and by 9:30 I was on the table. I came too after surgery and when eventually my eyes focused on the clock it was 17:30. It had took 4 hours of surgery to fix one 5 sec mistake. All of the staff at the hospital were fantastic as I got took to the ward to recover overnight and aftercare. Tuesday was spent recovering with a few visits from doctors and nurses with tablets and given exercises to try to get movement back into the elbow. I was discharged on Tuesday evening and given an appointment to been seen again in about 2 weeks. Living on my own, those 2 weeks were fairly challenging when attempting basic things. removing the lid off the fresh jar of peanut butter, I remember having to hold it in the doorframe and holding the door on it with my backside and managing to pop the top off with my good right arm. Looking back it was amusing. 2 1/2 weeks later, remade the journey down to Brighton for the check up with Mr Phadnis. I tried to stop using the sling so much to help start moving the elbow as previously suggested. Mr Phadnis checked over my progress and suggested a few other exercise for my elbow. I had a few follow up appointments to check on my progress, I believe one was 4-5 weeks after surgery and then I believe my final appointment was 17th Dec. Even now in 2021 I still receive an email to a form to fill in to update my progress and feel if I had any problems in the future I would not hesitate to contact him. I have lost some movement in my elbow due to my mistake but I'm sure its 1000% better than it could have been. Every appointment Mr Phadnis was attentive and explained things and was supportive. Even though he in a different NHS region, as I live in Kent and Brighton is a different area. I am pleased I was forwarded onto him. Everything from the pre-op to aftercare was brilliant and felt at ease. And I'll always have the bits of metal in my arm to remember him. I am very glad he was my surgeon and would recommend him without hesitation.
