Mr Talawadeker has looked after me during my shoulder problem and recently performed the surgery I required on my injured shoulder.
Throughout Mr Talewadeker has been fantastic. He listens and reassures with great care.
Mr Talewadeker is a fantastic professional who makes you feel at home and explains everything in great detail. Always puts a smile on my face to. Thank you.

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.
