I would like to thank mr talawadekar and his amazing team for the way they handled my very difficult shoulder operation
The care kindness and consideration given to myself was fantastic as I was very concerned for my health and future ability to carry on my occupation in construction
Mr T has a genuine gift of making the whole job a whole lot less stressful and I couldn’t praise his way of doing things enough
Thanks for all your wonderful work
Have a lovely Christmas and new year to you all

I recently had my collar bone repaired and have to say I was very impressed. Mr Taladadekar was present at every step and talked me through each process both before and after. The scar is very neat and is already starting to disappear just 2 months after the op. On my final visit he took the time to show me several exercises to give me a boost before the physio started.
Thank you!

Mr Talawadekar removed a ganglion from my wrist under general anaesthetic. He was at all times very kind, considerate and light heartedly professional.
I had three consultations in all. The first consultation was on time and my condition was fully explained to me. The second time we met was for my procedure, this was carried out at Furness General Hospital, again on time and Mr Talawadeker and his staff could not have been nicer or more efficient and professional.
I had my third consultation today when I had stitches removed. The experience today was similar to the others the only difference being that I was leaving the car park, on my way home, before the actual planned time of my appointment.
I had never had a general anaethetic or any kind of operation before this and whilst I was not over anxious I was of course slightly concerned. Mr Talawadekar and his anaesthetists and nursing staff were very reassuring, kind and considerate.

I found Mr Talawadekar very friendly and approachable, listened to me about what the problem was and explained everything clearly and how to rectify the problem. Mr Talawadekar really put me at ease and seems to genuinely care.
