What an absolutely amazing person. Professional, kind, caring and an amazing surgeon. He explains everything that is going to happen and afterwards what procedure he did. I would highly recommend him not only as a surgeon but also as a person. He is also very funny and makes you feel at ease.

I had a rotor cuff repair done at Spire FYLDE Coast done by this surgeon and it was carried out successfully and not only that the surgeon took time to explain to me exactly what he was going to perform and showed me photos of the procedure,It was successful and I’m very happy about the whole experience

I have recently had a second shoulder replacement, & cannot thank Mr Talawadekar enough. He is very easy to converse with, listens & explains everything, making you feel at ease, from 1st consultation to op, & all follow ups I have no hesitation in recommending him at all.

I’m very happy with the treatment I received. I had a shoulder that kept on dislocating. I found Dr.Talawadekar very informative and helpful. He always had a positive attitude and was in good spirts. The operation was a huge success and it hasn’t dislocated since. I’m extremely happy with the service I received. Ryan Healey (Patient)
