The injury was explained to me well when it first happened so I knew exactly what was done. The procedure I was having was also explained clearly so I knew what would be happening. The results have been much better than I was expecting originally. The scar is very neat and for its size, doesn't look too bad or unsightly. I managed to get back to the gym roughly 3 weeks after my operation which I did not think I would be able to for around 2 months post op. 2 months later and I am back to sports (football) and around 85% of my original strength; I imagine I will get back to full strength very quickly as the progress has been rapid, from struggling to move 2kg after 3 weeks to comfortable lifting 28kgs over head around 10 weeks after the op.
On my check up a few weeks after the op, Mr Talawadekar was very friendly and was genuinely pleased with the results, which as a patient gives you a lot of confidence in his work too.
I'm overall thrilled with the operation and care from Mr Talawadekar!

This nice bloke preformed two operations, one on each hand, and the outcomes have been better than I hoped. He ha s really pleasant attitude at all times and is willing to share a joke. Keeps you well informed at all times and listens to what you have to say. Cannot praise him enough.
