At 72 years of age, with a knee that was badly injured / reconstructed 45 years ago and with painful arthritis making normal walking impossible (forcing me to abandon my golf passion), I was desperate for a solution . . . yet very wary of major surgery. After a succession of investigative appointments with various doctors and with my cardiologist looming over my shoulder, I was finally introduced to Mr Akrawi in the Pembury NHS hospital. From the offset, Mr Akrawi earned my respect with his competent manner and clear communication. I overcame my rather nervous attitude towards the operation and entered the process. From the point where Mr Akrawi and his team met me on the day, I was impressed with his leadership of the team and the respect they showed him. They all buzzed around like clockwork and before I knew it, I was afloat on a cloud with the vague impression of an electric saw at work nearby. Then, there I was in the recovery room, feeling just dandy (awash still with some happy drugs). Back in the ward for a few days, well looked after through my haze by a happy bunch of nurses (and the wonderful physio Emma). Now mid October 2020, 3 weeks after the operation, I am exceptionally happy with the state of my knee. Sure there has been pain and disturbed sleep. To be expected. My heartfelt thanks to Mr Akrawi, who conducted everything and kept my mind at rest. If you are looking for a knee man, look no further!
