From my first meeting with Gautam Talawadekar right through to my post-op I felt that Gautam would look after me and he was always in charge, clearly walking me through the procedure for my Carpal Tunnel. What a lovely Gentleman, treated me with respect and good humour. I had suffered for a long time with a great deal of pain and finding Mr T was a winner. I took the decision to have both hands operated on at the same time. This is not for everyone but I was perfectly fine. Mr T advises each patient on the best approach. The procedure took around 30 minutes and what a relief...no pain.
Everything was carried out exactly as Mr T had explained. My small scars have already healed and I have full use of my hands in less than 6 weeks....Gautam and his team work exceeding hard to make you his patients so very comfortable. I can say that I only wish I had discovered Gautam a few years earlier, thank you all.

What a marvellous and very empathetic man. I am a 70 year old type 1 diabetic who took a fall near Lake Coniston and dislocated my shoulder and fractured my left humeral head on the 25th October 2021! I had the arm put back in the shoulder socket by Furness hospital staff, but unfortunately there wasn't a shoulder surgeon there that day. Mr Talawadekar popped in to see me a couple of days later and said my shoulder was fractured, and that I could leave it, but when it healed I might have reduced mobility in the arm, or that he could operate on me in 4 days time, when he was back at Furness hospital. I live in Brentwood in Essex and was in the Lake District with my family and 4 grandchldren for the 1/2 term holiday. He said, I was too young to have limited movement and that if I was his mother he would recommend I have the operation done. So I did and a brilliant job he made of it with wonderful stitches, which I have just had removed from my local Basildon hospital. He warned me that I should have physiotherapy and must exercise the arm for the next 3 months, which I shall make sure I do. I can't recommend this man enough. Christine Rose
