Mr Talawadekar has done both of my shoulder replacement surgeries within two years. I can not fault the care and consideration shown to both myself and my family but him and his team. I was needing tramadol on a daily basis prior to surgery now I am painkiller free. I have full movement in both shoulders and not had any problems. I am so thankfully for Mr Talawadekar and his team for everything.

Mr Talawadekar was a fantastic surgeon.
He took time to explain the planned shoulder surgery in detail explaining each step and managing my expectations.
On the day of surgery he was very reassuring and also stated he would look at another area causing me pain, he seemed to really care and wanted me to be out of pain and gain full use of my arm back.
Following surgery at my follow up appointment he took pictures from the surgery to show me exactly what he did and why he did the surgery, full explanations were provided and he also gave some physio movements to do before I start with other physio exercises.
Mr Talawadekar is a surgeon that knows how to put you at ease, explains the surgery in a way that you can understand and cares about the results. He lightened the atmosphere enabling us to have a little laugh to put me a ease and made the whole experience a lot easier. I would definitely recommend him, he is a lovely surgeon with a great personality and very easy to talk to and ask questions.
Thank you :)

My elderly mum was treated by Mr Talawadekar at spire hospital Blackpool. We found him to be an extremely nice man , who took time to introduce himself both to my mum and myself . He took time to ask and as importantly answer questions that we had . Mr Talawadekar then did an injection as a method of treatment ,that was done with empathy again explaining all throughout what he was doing .
Mr Talawadekar has an extremely nice personality that put my mum at ease he was cheerful and chatty that helps especially with an elderly person who was nervous and during these times with the addition of the COVID regulations . I have to say that we both felt very safe with regards to the protocol that was in place both at the hospital itself and in the treatment room itself .
Finally my mum had a very good outcome and we are both extremely grateful, we would highly recommend anyone to see Mr Talawadekar for a consultation.
