Explained everything about my operation in great detail, listened to my concerns prior and post procedure. Total trust in him.
A very nice gentleman, and a pleasure to meet him, although the circumstances could have been better !!

This wonderful man took great care of my 72 year old Mother when she fell down a step and smashed the ball and socket in her arm. He had a lovely cheerful manner, took time to explain and discuss the operation to replace her shoulder and put my mother and myself at ease. Immediately after the operation he rang my mobile (as he had promised) and explained what he had done and how the operation had gone. I took her to the clinic today for her stitches to be removed and again his explanations, cheerful manner and advice was excellent. Myself and my Mother have full trust in this doctor and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone else. Thank you Mr Talawadekar, you were amazing and we can’t thank you enough.

Albeit brief consultations with Dr. Talawadekar, his charisma has shone through, making me feel very positive about the progress with my broken collarbone. Furthermore, it was reassuring that he listened to me after expressing an interest in the options of treating the break and referred me to a relevant COTS trial.
