Mr Talawadekar carried out a reverse geometry operation on my mums right arm after she badly broke her upper arm and shoulder. He explained the procedure to her and put her mind at ease before the operation. The operation itself was a total success, and his after care has been great. He is a very professional, kind and considerate doctor.

I cannot praise Dr Talawadekar enough, I will never forget him for everything he done for me, he sure is one of the nicest people I have ever met in my lifetime, he is my hero. Very professional from start to finish, felt like I have known him all my life, He knew I was frightened but he really reassured me everything would be ok, broke my ankle in 3 places, he said people have lost their foot before, with the injury I had, he worked miracles for me, as far as I am concerned. Thankyou so much Dr Talawadekar you sure are a brilliant Dr

From the minute I was introduced to mr G Talawadekar he made me feel at ease he explained my problem in a way I could understand and showed me by illustrating once I’d had my scans and xrays he went through each image one by one so I understood what my problem was put my mind a ease at every stage on my operation day he came to my room to make sure I was ok and at all the stages he was funny and spoke with such a caring manner after my operation all my follow up appointments he explained the procedure and when I was worried about pain he put himself out to find out and to explain what was the problem was he even called me from over seas just to make sure everything was ok I’ve never met any doctor to be so caring and thoughtful I wish all doctors had the bedside manner he as I honestly cannot speak high enough about him.

Me Talawadekar was very honest with us about the success of my Mother’s shoulder replacement. He treated her at all times in a professional, friendly manner. My Mum and I had total confidence in him and her operation was a complete success and transformed her remaining years - we are very grateful.

It is exactly two weeks since Mr Talawadekar performed my shoulder operation. He explained fully using my xrays exactly what was going to happen and why. After the operation he saw me in the recovery ward and also rang my partner to reassure him that all had gone well. As promised he removed my stitches himself. In addition I have been given a number on which to contact him should I need to. I feel that I am making an amazing recovery and cannot thank him and recommend him enough.
