Mr Chinmay Gupte

Written by a patient at St Mary's Hospital

I had injured my left knee while participating in my sport which is full contact. After having an MRI scan it was highlighted that I had a completely torn ACL and torn Meniscus, after this was made apparent I was referred to Dr Gupte by my GP. Dr Gupte was very helpful with what procedure needed to be done to get me back to full health and back to competing in my sport. Dr Gupte was insightful and very professional with my situation as he made feel comfortable with the operation that I need to help me, on the day of the operation he was honest about what he would need to do to help my knee to become stable while rehabilitating it. The procedure lasted two hours and after Dr Gupte explained to me what had been repaired and what I needed to do after to ensure my recovery was successful. It has been 6 months since my knee surgery and each follow appointment has been great as Dr Gupte is always positive and provides step my step information on what rehab miles stones I have reached and what I will need to do progress further. I strongly recommend anyone who has suffered a knee injury to be referred to Dr Gupte, he is consistently professional, honest and meticulous in his approach to ensuring the best outcome for his patients.

My right leg was badly bowed and my right knee had lost all its cartilidge from a surfeit of sport over five decades. The wonderful Chinmay Gupte solved all that in an instant with a superb full knee replacement operation at the Charing Cross Hospital in Dec. 2016 and I am thrilled to say that I now have a straight right leg and a perfectly working new right knee. Without Chinmay's brilliance none of this would have been possible and I cannot recommend him highly enough. In my humble opinion, he's now the must go to knee replacement surgeon in London and I have no hesitation whatsoever on Chinmay replacing my other knee in the future. Colin I. C.

My son had a complete rupture of his ACL and cartilage damage at the age of 12, due to a skiing accident on a school trip. After a couple of false starts at St Marys we were eventually put under the care of Mr Gupte. Things then progressed really quickly and efficiently, with the operation scheduled without delay. As a worried parent, I felt informed, listened to and reassured about the procedure and likely outcome, without any glossing over of possible problem areas. The operation was a success, and it has always been a pleasure to see Mr Gupte in clinic. Even though he is naturally in high demand, he is fully focussed on the patient in hand, even in our case where there is both a child and parents to communicate with, in one teeny tiny room! I think he is an exceptional doctor, and when I was in the crowded waiting room last time, I noticed that he also had a smile and acknowledgement for other patients as he passed by; I think he makes everyone feel special. To have wonderful surgical skills and a great and caring bedside manner is a very special combination.

I had my first knee replacement last year at Charing Cross having been indecisive and very anxious and nervous about having a full knee replacement. I met Mr Gupte a few times and after a couple of false starts due to my anxiety I went ahead February 2016 to have my left knee replaced and have never looked back. Mr. Gupte was with me the whole way through before they wheeled me up and into the Theatre for surgery and afterwards once I was in the Ward. He has to be the most understanding, professional and wonderful orthopaedic surgeon I have ever met along with his patience, friendliness and his positive and confident manner. I went ahead on March 17th March 2017 for my right knee replacement and again I couldn't fault him or his team. If there was a third knee to be replaced I wouldn't hesitate to have Mr Gupte to do my surgery again !

I saw Mr Gupte after a fairly serious knee injury in a skiing accident. He was excellent throughout the process: he saw me quickly; diagnosed and explained the injury; talked me through the operation and took time to answer questions; did the operation at a time that suited me with no complications; and was helpful and supportive throughout the recovery period. Mr Gupte was confident in a way that inspired confidence in him and his team. He was also sympathetic, friendly and interested in returning me to some kind of sporting activity. Much more significantly, he also impressed my wife, who is a doctor and much more critical than me! I should say that the care I received from all the medical professionals at the Wellington and at the Platinum Medical Centre (where the operation was actually done) was excellent.
