I had my first appointment with the surgeon who performed my right knee replacement operation, Mr Mudussar Ahmad, on 27 February 2020. He was very pleasant, showed a lot of care in his manner towards me, asked questions while he examined both my knees and listened carefully to my responses. He showed me the x-rays and explained what I was looking at so I could understand why my knees were so painful. We discussed the methods I'd been using to manage the pain over the previous two and a half years and why they were no longer helping. I was relieved to be put on the waiting list for a knee replacement because my life had become seriously restricted due to the pain. I felt confident that he was giving me his full attention during this appointment and would do his best to help me walk properly again. I saw him just before the operation and he explained what he was going to do. I saw him after the operation when he checked how I felt. I've seen him at the two weeks' post-op appointment where he examined my knee and its mobility and was very encouraging. I have just seen him at the six weeks' post-op appointment and we are both delighted at the result. The main feature I would pass on to other doctors is the focus and the empathy. I felt that Dr Ahmad never forgot he was dealing with a human being - as well an arthritic knee replacement.
