Mr Gautam Talawadekar

Written by a NHS patient at Spire Fylde Coast Hospital

Mr T is my knight in shining armour! Having suffered with shoulder issues for nearly 2 years, I finally saw someone who was prepared to do something about it; we tried one injection, which worked better than previous ones but unfortunately still did not resolve things, so he very kindly agreed to perform an arthroscopy. This was done at the end of May and has been enormously successful, I am making great progress, even the stiffness has almost gone and I feel very confident of the future. Mr T. gave me that confidence from the start and then reinforced matters by explaining to me in easily understandable detail (plus photos) what he had done and why - it seems I had had a total of two tears and a rather hooked acromion, so no wonder I had been in so much pain... I am completely indebted to him, and what a nice person he is too - many thanks indeed!

Mr Talawadekar is an excellent surgeon & I am so grateful to him for all his care, support & expertise. I had fusion surgery on a long standing thumb injury & the results have been tremendous. The recovery was really quick and Mr T was helpful & understanding all the way through. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Mr Talawadekar repaired my tendon in my left arm. This was after I snapped it whist in the gym! From the moment I met him after being referred, he put me a complete ease! I was of course worried about having the operation, but again, Mr Talawadekar explained everything to me and I was so pleased that it was going to be him carrying out the procedure. Everything went well on the day, and the aftercare has also been amazing, I cant thank him, and his team enough.

Mr Talawadekar is certainly a very special consultant surgeon. Not only do you feel 100% listened to, which is uncommon from my experience with many top end medical professionals these days, but also, his hands simply must have been touched by God. Within 4 hours of my operation on my clavicle, I was already home. Zero need for the codeine pain killing medication given. After having a bone sawn, I had zero pain only some swelling around the wound from the incision. How can that be? Maybe because Mr Talawadekar really understands the ins and outs of this intricate part of the skeletal structure. On the day after my operation, the first day attempting the course given by the physiotherapist, I was already able to fully do the movements he had planned for me to strive to in 6 weeks time, and more. For me it was cancel physio and immediately create a light weight training plan. Mr Talawadekar's advice for my procedure, was spot on both before and post surgery. I hope to never have to have surgery again, however, given a choice I would hope for it to be this same gentleman. Thank you so much Sir, for improving my quality of life and enabling me full movement again which has propelled me to the next level in the gym already on some exercises!! Forever in your debt
