Mr Talawadekar is a true gentleman. He is so caring, explains things properly and has a really good sense of humour. I had a capsular released week ago and I am pleased with my results so far. He even phoned my husband himself after my op to let him know how it had gone. I have had lots of operations before and have never had this. He is an asset to morecambe bay trust.

I had a badly broken and misaligned collar bone and Mr Talawadekar recommended surgery to ensure that the bone would heal and that my 'wingspan' would not be reduced. Mr T listened carefully to my views and took them into account in determining the treatment.The result was a perfect realignment. His attention to detail was first class, extending even to the stitching such that it came out in one piece with no discomfort at all. He was very engaging and explained everything in clear non-technical language. He was always prepared to give as much time in answering my questions as I needed and he never made me feel rushed no matter how busy he must have been. His aftercare has been just as good with clear explanations of the options for removal of the metalwork.
I could not have had better care anywhere!
