Mr Talawadekar was kind and funny. I had a manipulation under anaesthetic on my frozen shoulder and it has helped with the mobility a lot. Thanks Mr T

No one recommended Mr Gautam Talawadekar to me and I had to make my own choice from several other names and luckily I made a very good choice, he put me at ease immediately and explained everything in detail.

Mr Talawadekar took time to listen to my complaint regarding my right shoulder which had chronic osteo arthritis - he suggested a full shoulder and ball replacement operation. This operation was a major operation and I was unsure as to whether to have the procedure or not. Mr Talawadekar took lots of time to give me the confidence to make an informed decision. I decided to have the operation. I am now three weeks post operation and cannot be more pleased with the result. My arm is still in a sling but even now I have more movement than I had prior to the replacement and the pain is far less.
I cannot recommend Mr Talawedekar highly enough. He is a miracle worker.

Having suffered with a painful arthritic thumb for many years I was pleased to attend a consultation with Mr. Talawadekar . As a direct result I was given the opportunity to undergo a Trapeziectomy which after the advised recuperation period has proved to be successful.
This surgeon surely must have accrued an army of patients who have benefited from his skills.
However what firmly elevates him to the “exceptional” category is his thoughtful, genuine and caring manner and his humorous personality. These attributes instilled confidence in me as his patient and must surely have applied to many others also.
