I wish all surgeons could be as genuinely as nice, Well on my way to making a full recovery after what was described as a very complicated procedure. I was kept informed at all stages, was shown pictures of the operation and told what to expect post op. It was a genuine pleasure to meet him. Many, many thanks

Mr Talawadekar brightens up the room as soon as he walks in. He is very positive, caring and reassuring. He kept me informed and updated at ever stage of my treatment, even ringing my husband at home immediately after my surgery to let him know that it had been successful as it had been quite complex. I am now on my way to recovery and am very grateful for what he has done for me.

I am writing on behalf of my Mother to express thanks for the positive changes that the orthopaedic procedure Mr Talawadekar performed has bought back to her life, enabling her to once again live a more independent and painfree life. The support and advice, treatment and care have encouraged her to engage more fully with her health and has given her the confidence to face further, different orthopaedic procedures in the future. That is no mean feat for a lady fast approaching her 80's. I think it helped that Mr Talawadekar is extremely good at engaging with his patients, always very cheerful and pleasant helping them to feel relaxed and comfortable, encouraging questions to be asked regarding the hoped for outcome of the procedure. The entire orthi unit worked extremely well and all out patient follow up has been thorough and supportive.
