I found Mr Talawadeker very pleasant and warming. I had the plasma replacement platelet treatment for my Tennis Elbow.
He explained the procedure in which I could understand and all the way while he was injecting into my elbow I found this very interesting and for your own body to mend its self fascinating.
I would recommend this treatment to any one, it does work thank you very much Mr T.

i found Mr Talawadekar very professional but he explained everything in a way which a non medical person could easily understand. He always kept me informed about what he intended to do and when and showed care and concern over any possible delays that might be encountered. He listened to me and allowed me to stay at home overnight when possible this meant a lot to me .his manner was always friendly,relaxed and when appropriate jovial.
I a very pleased with the results of the surgery on my wrist.
My only concerns about my recent treatment relate to my discharge notes which did not contain information relating to the antibiotics that I was on and this caused some confusion to myself and those on the ward.. Somewhere along the line some information had not been recorded. I doubt that this has anything to do with Mr. Talawadekar and was most likely an administration error.
I am very grateful to Mr. Talawadekar and his team for my excellent treatment at FGH.

Dr. Talawadekar greets you at every appointment with an upbeat attitude. He listens to all your concerns, and will explain in great detail, everything that can be, and explained in a way that everyone will understand. He is very thorough throughout the appointment and gives you the best care he can as well as making sure that if something needs to be done in the future he's on the case.

Really happy with the care received by Mr Talawadekar at Furness General Hospital. Extremely pleasant doctor and made me feel at ease. He explained options that were available to me and recommended the most appropriate . I wouldn’t hesitate to be referred in the future and would recommend him. Both appointments I was seen either early or on time.
