The best surgeon you will ever come across.
Mr Talawadekar was amazing, he did his upmost to keep me pleased. I had clavicle surgery and he even adjusted the procedure to suit my role as a firefighter and aid my recovery. Mr scar tissue is barely visible too! His bubbly character shows he cares, putting his patients first, he makes you feel at ease and will do his best for you. He explains everything in full detail supplying all the pros and cons. I couldn’t be happier with my surgery and the way I was treated under the care of Mr Talawadekar and his team! Fully recommend. Thanks again Mr T!

Very easy chap to deal with, great sense of humour and an excellent surgeon.
Mr T explained the whole procedure without being highly technical, can’t recommend him enough!

Talawadekar..The best specialists I’ve ever meet, We’ll done NHS…from my first doctors appointment to seeing the specialist and having the treatment done on my first and only visit with Talawadekar took eighteen days in total.
Talawadekar looked at my hand problems and instantly noticed I had two problems with my hand/ finger and explained the problems and what was needed to fix my problems , I expected to have to come back to the hospital for a cortisone injection but to my surprise I watch Talawadekar walk to the medical table and he got the injection ready and said I will sort you out now if your happy…what a great surprise and within one day of the injection my hand/ finger was pain free, Talawadekar arranged a phone call with me for two months time to see how my hand/ finger was. Very friendly and funny specialist.
I Trust this specialist 100% and he deserves top marks.
Very hard working specialist, I’ve given a very good review on Talawadekar , . Just a very hard working specialist in his field of work with a special attitude to reassure the patient.

What a fantastic doctor
I had an operation on my shoulder for a torn rota cuff and a shave on my bone. Mr T explained it to me in great detail before my operation and made me feel at ease and very confident that I was in safe hands.
Just 4 months on with physio I feel fantastic with almost all my range of movement back.
I had my appointment with mr talawadka this morning and he showed me all the pictures he had taken and explained the whole repair to me.
I am so great full to this hard working doctor for all he has done for me and I can finally sleep at night without pain.
A very great full patient
