Reviews
I visited Mr Talawadekar to have surgery on my wrist to remove a ganglion. After a couple of visits with the ganglion have gone down, Mr Talawadekar was happy with the size and happy to operate. He made me feel comfortable and it was always a happy and pleasant experience seeing him. The surgery took less than 10minutes and went faultlessly. Can’t thank him enough for what he did. Fantastic Doctor.
After a nasty rugby injury my shoulder regularly dislocated. Dr Talawadekar investigated the shoulder, and led me through the process of putting it right. When the time came for surgery, his personal and warm character completely reassured me I was in safe hands. The surgery was a complete success, and the aftercare by Dr Talawadekar was first class too. I cannot stress enough how first class this man is. 100% patient satisfaction
Mr Gautam Talawadekar is the most caring, genuine, pleasant doctor.
I had to have surgery on my hand in september 2019 and the care and respect I received from Mr Talawadekar were exceptional.
I had a follow up appointment with Mr Talawadekar today (31-91-20) and recieved the same care.
I would without doubt recommend this dr.
My wife and I find Mr Gautam Talawadekar one of life's gentlemen. He is a warm and friendly man who doesn't put himself above anyone else and says he is 'just a small part of the team'! But we think he is a STAR !!! We find him to be a hard working and caring person. I could not have wished for better treatment. We hope Gautam continues his excellent work for many years to come.
i was under the care of Mr Talawadekar at furness general hospital
he was professional at all times and very knowledgeable and explained my condition and what options were available.
he performed a procedure which has vastly improved my condition and I would recommend him to other patients
