I have had a historical problem with knees dating back to the late 1990s. I was eventually medically retired from my lovely job as a sea-going engineer officer, throwing my chance for 'top spot' as 'Chief'...
Various arthroscopies took place and I enjoyed sublime 'retirement' retraining to work with adults with learning needs, sail, walk and write.
In 2022 my right knee bit back! I was directly referred by Southend to Mr Parkar. Bone on Bone, he advised. You need a new knee.
The hospital experience and care were superb. I'd maintained a level of walking and after discharge was working up and stretching myself asap. By six weeks I was up to an ability to do 8km. I even enjoyed two sailing trips on my 24' cruiser...
Yes, it has been marvelous. Thank you.

On arrival the process was friendly, professional and speedy.
On admission day and during my time I cannot praise the staff enough for taking such good care of me.

Mr Parkar was very informative about what he was going to do to my knee . He explained the procedure and informed me of what I was going to experience over the next few months. Whilst in hospital he visited me twice before the operation to reassure me and visited me after the operation and explained how it had gone and he would arrange a visit for me in 6 weeks time. Throughout my meetings with Mr Parkar he was able to answer my questions and was able to put me at ease. After my visit he told me that if I had any concerns I was to contact his secretary and he was willing to see me.
For greater care I feel that the physio team could have spent more time with me and give me a structured exercise program. When I asked how many times do I do the exercise , the response was carry on till you have had enough or when it starts to hurt. One could have stopped after 3 or 4 attempts , which I am sure would delay recovery.

Every step of the way he supported me and explained everything that was about to happen, if it didn't he explained why and expressed his sympathy and understanding of my feelings and needs and reassured me that everything possible will be done to accommodate my needs and ease my pain. He involved me in the decision making process before and after surgery as much as needed and never make me feel like he is in a hurry or rushing although I am sure every minute on duty is precious for him. Thank you and bless you Dr. Parkar.
