Reviews
I went to see Mr Talawadekar with Chronic Tennis Elbow and he suggested PRP treatment. The treatment day was efficiently run and he was very informative regarding the injection. The treatment has been a complete success and the recovery rate was as he described. The follow up telephone consultation was timely and friendly, the entire treatment process was completed brilliantly.
Highly recommended!
Me Talawadekar was exellent at explaining my condition the reasons it occurred and the operation to fix it.
He explained everything with a smile and has a great sense of humour.
On the day of my procedure he again put me completely at ease in a caring and very professional manner.
Operation was very successful and all post op questions were answered again in a caring manner.
Lovely man, my operation went smoothly and quickly. I felt cared for firstly by April checking me through the procedure, then Mr Talawadekar talking me through the procedure. I then went for my op and a lovely gentleman held my hand and chatted to me throughout the procedure making me much less nervous. Mr Talawadekar and his team cared for me very well. On return from my op, a lady made me a pot of tea, she was also very friendly.
Follow up after a few weeks went well and Mr Talawadekar professionally answered all my questions.
Couldn't be more pleased! Everything dealt with efficiently and effectively and always with a smile.
Great surgeon and lovely to speak to during check ups! My shoulder surgery has been success so far and I am really happy with how I’ve been looked after by himself and his team.
