I am writing to say "thank you" to the staff at Hillingdon Hospital for all the care and attention they have given me while i was having treatment and an operation for a severed tendon in my right knee.
Special mention to Mr Somashekar, the Surgeon and his team. The operation took place three weeks after my first appointment with hims and his professionalism and his personal attention to me was first encouraging. The subsequent appointments at the Hospital as an outpatient were also good experiences. The appointments were on time. The physic team at the Hospital were very supportive, obviously still in contact with Mr Somashekar regarding my treatment and progress, and I also saw him once - just passing through!
I don't like being under medical care, but I must say it has been a good experience for me. There is so much criticism of the NHS, hospitals and staff- my experience has been of excellent care and attention- thanks to all concerned. Keep up the good work.
Ps. I even enjoyed the food!
My heartfelt thanks to you and your team for my new, painfree lease of life.
In the Friday three weeks after the second hip replacement, the pain of the wound had ceased and I was free of pain. Oh joy of joys. I am in a state & find it hard to explain without emotion.
Thank you for your medical care, my knee is holding its own and so far no heat and mobilising as much as I can. I now have hydrotherapy once a week and am enjoying that. i hope in the long term it helps my knee.
Thank you again for you medical care and support

I wanted to express my highest praise for the surgical skills of Mr Naresh Somshekar (orthopaedic consultant). My wife, had a recent hip revision which also involved corrective surgery of leg length, required as a result of previous hip surgery.
My thanks, of course, go to all members of his team, but particularly to Mr Somashekar who exhibits a confidence that can only be reassuring to the patient and a confidence that is reflected in the results of his work.
With much appreciation,
