From the moment I met Dr Talawadekar l felt at ease with my future treatment, with his great knowledge of the procedures he carries out, his pleasant demeanour and his very honest conversation all worries were gone. I would personally recommend him for any procedures he is offering to carry out for you, I myself have already got my name on his list again. I wouldn't be doing that if I wasn't very happy with the last job. Thanks for a good job well done Dr Talawadekar. Mr Bryn Skilbeck.

Mr Talawadekar is a very professional and friendly consultant, he really puts you at ease. I went to Mr T initially for carpal tunnel in my right hand and then later this year I had to have a prp procedure in my right elbow. He listens to you and I always feel that I'm getting the best care from him. I would definitely recommend him.
