Mr T made a huge effort toward me getting my dislocated ac joint back up and running as quickly as possible. He got me into surgery quickly and explained everything very well, I also asked to do a small operation while I was under anaesthetic on my trigger finger as it was on the same arm as my dislocated shoulder and he agreed with no hesitation. Bonus for me. Very happy with everything he and his team has done. The quicker things were resolved, the quicker I could get back into my training for work. Appreciate everything, listening and understanding.
Very professional and happy surgeon.

Mr Talewadekar made me feel at ease from the start. He's funny, friendly, and approachable. He explained the process clearly and even asked me if I wanted to watch during the surgery! (I did not).
The only thing I would say would be that I wasn't properly advised as to how long the recovery would be. This may have been in the paperwork which I was provided with but if it was I didn't see it. My point is, it would have been helpful to be told verbally.
Otherwise, Mr Talewadekar is an excellent surgeon as my issue is well on the way to being fixed!

I was seen by Mr Talawadekar and instantly he put me at ease explaining about what to expect and that there was a waiting list but since I was going to have the operation under a local he would try to get me in a little sooner. Am looking forward to see Mr T as he has a great sense of humour and comforting personalty and will hopefully be writing another review shortly after surgery.

I have been under Mr Gautam Talawadekar since December 2021 for Capal tunnel syndrome in both my right and left hands. I have always found him to be a very caring and sincere perso who is excellent at his profession. He operated on my right hand in December 2021 and then my left hand in June 2022. I must say that this man has a terrific sense of humour and he puts you at ease when he is operating on you. I would like to say that I cannot praise this surgeon highly enough for what he has done for me and I will always be very grateful to him and his wonderful staff. Without people like them the NHS wouldn’t be what it is today.
Yours sincerely
