Reviews
Mr Chauhan has been superb. I had a full ACL tear (left knee) and have been concerned that after 2 failed ACL reconstructions on my right knee (via a different consultant a few years ago) I would not regain full stability and strength in my left knee after surgery.
The surgery went very well and Mr Chauhan also managed to save my cartilage after it had become folded. This was significant for me as I know first-hand the damage and pain that can be caused by failed/damaged cartilage and it's been perfect (touch wood).
Mr Chauhan was very strict with me to ensure I followed the recovery plan in order to better aid my recovery and although it's only been 4 months, I haven't had a single issue. I feel strong and I've gained strength and stability quickly in physio.
I trust Mr Chauhan and will be speaking with him about my other ACL issues (right knee) to see if he can work his magic there too.
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience. I am very privileged to do a job I love. To see you return you to a higher level of function and to increase the life of your natural joint is my goal. I am delighted you are doing well and I will look at the other knee as soon as you have completed the rehabilitation.
Had consultations a the Chartwell & arthroscopy at Springfield. The follow up consulation was not with Mr Chauhan but an ex physiotherapist who couldn't even find my x-rays so had to be referred to another consultant who contradicted my consultants analysis (which concurred with my continuing pain symptons). Pain is no better post arthroscopy & my new consultant has been brushing me off with physio. I've heard it is because he doesn't favour doing knee replacements on the NHS !!!
Mr Chauhan explained the procedure clearly and answered my questions patiently and with great humour. I have been impressed by the speed of my assessment and tests arranged and by the way in which I have been treated, both in terms of waiting times and with courtesy.
