Reviews
Charming professional manner and excellent doctor/surgeon.
At initial consultation the operation and recovery process were fully explained to me.
Surgery on both my hands took place six months apart and a really tidy job!
I would highly recommend this doctor to anyone.

Thanks to everyone concerned
thank you very much for your kind words.
I received fantastic care from Mr Talawadekar and his whole team from April 3rd 2919 at Furness General Hospital. Mr T is really approachable, easy to talk to, and explained things very clearly in easily understandable terms so that I knew exactly what was going. He reassured me about the length of time it would take to heal so I was less frustrated with myself.
I can’t think of any way my care and experience could have been improved.
thank you very much for your kind words.
