Mr Shah is an excellent surgeon. He is kind and compassionate, he is always ready to listen to your concerns and answers your questions allowing the patient to make informed decisions. I have had two hip replacements and recovered well from both surgeries. The wound(s) healed amazingly quickly. For both surgeries I had spinal anathesia due to other health issues and Mr Shah saw the whole recovery period through and visits you pre and post surgery. During consultations, x rays and procedures are explained, at both pre and post surgery check ups in a way that enables patients to understand their situations. As I have complex medical issues surgery was a major decision for me and at no time was I ever put under any pressure but listened to with empathy. Whilst I needed both hips replacing, my second surgery was two years later. ( My choice.) Having faith in Mr Shah’s skills, abilities, and understanding enabled me to trust him and proceed with the surgery which at times were difficult decisions. The whole surgical procedures progressed by way of further input from my other Consultants I am under and input from colleagues to gain ‘fit for surgery’ criteria. Due to the total hip replacements, I have now been able to come off strong opioid medicines that I have been taking for many many years. Thank you. Whilst mobility is an issue for me I am free of the dreadful hip and knee pain that I had been suffering, but I am able to move around indoors with a walker. I am sure the professional and caring approach Mr Shah radiates to all patients and colleagues is a blessing to all. Thank you Mr Shah and God Bless you. I am very grateful to Guy’s and the NHS for the care I receive from the teams of professionals who manage my health conditions and continue to do so. Linda Murdoch
