Mr Talawadekar will never know that he transformed my life by performing shoulder surgery on me in may 2021 but he really did. After two years of hardly any sleep and pain he put me at ease and rectified the problem. I can now do everything I should be able to do with my right arm and shoulder. This was likely a simple rotor cuff repair for him but to me it has been life changing. Can’t thank him enough.
