Mr Talawadekar is very passionate about his work.
On my initial appointment, he patiently explained what he thought might happen during my operation, by looking at my MRI scans. He explained that when he could actually see inside my shoulder, he would be able to proceed to sort things out.
On the day of my operation he came to see me before and after my operation and explained what he had done during my operation. It was so nice to go home knowing what he had found, when he was able to look around, whilst I was in the operating theatre.
On my follow up appointment, he went to the trouble of showing and explaining the photos that had been taken of the inside of my shoulder, during the operation. He went into a great deal of detail, to enable me to understand why I had been having problems with my shoulder.
He also took the trouble to show me how to progress with my exercises, whilst waiting for a Physio appointment at a different hospital.

Mr Talawadekar operated on my Mothers shoulder. He did an excellent job and was very polite and courteous at all times.
My Mother was able to remove her sling after 5 weeks.
You can barely see her scar.
I am very grateful for the excellent care she received.

I visited Mr Talawadekar with a suspected rotator cuff tear. He really cared about getting my shoulder fixed, he asked lots of questions about my injury and carried out an exam. He explained things really clearly and ensured I understood.
He established that I had an impingement of the rotator cuff. He treated me there and then. I've been pain free ever since.

Related all rehab and diagnosis to the sport I injured myself doing
Kept me calm about my shoulder and reassured me that the surgery would be okay and could potentially help me in the future
