Reviews
From my first appointment I felt I was being listened to, I have been neglected by the NHS for over three years regarding the issue I came to see Dr Talawadekar about, but straight away he helped and within 2 month from first appointment to now I feel I have have the resolution I have been fighting the NHS for so long for, thank you so much!
Great personality with a warm and friendly manner that puts you at ease. I would recommend him to anyone that i know having the same operation that i had.
I'm so happy with Dr talawadekar ,he done a excellent job on my operation on my arm (distal bicep repair), he was so reassuring to me and the scar was fantastic when I seen it, no infection and even matched my tattoo up that was there hahaha, would definitely trust and want him again of needed , funny Dr too ,made me feel welcome ,thank you doctor .

Mr Talewadika has now operated on both my shoulders and I have great trust in his work. The first shoulder, done a couple of years ago, is good as new. My right shoulder, 9 weeks ago, is showing good progress. He has a lovely manner and is very reassuring. His eagerness to explain what he did demonstrates his love of the job and his care for his patients.
I had trigger finger release and carpel tunnel release surgery on both of my hands separately. I had surgery on my right hand in May. The doctor removed my stitches after 2 weeks by himself as we struggled with district nurses last time. He listened to my concern and found a solution for this. He is flexible and understanding. He respects and is approachable. My left hand is fully fu coronal and my right hand is recovering.
