Reviews
My name is Stephen Bailey and I cannot praise or thank Mr Talawadekar enough following my bicycle accident. The repair of the complicated shoulder fracture and dislocation was handled excellently and so far the recovery could not have gone any better. His pleasant demeanour and upbeat personality put you at ease straight away and any questions I asked were answered thoroughly. He and his team (and the NHS) were also able to quickly fit me into their busy schedule due to the urgent nature of the repair. As much as I do not wish to injure myself again, should the worst happen I would have no concerns whatsoever about being under his care again. Many, many thanks Steve
very kind of you. Thanks a lot for those kind word. I am glad I could help you....
I can,t praise Mr Talawadekar highly enough.My partner Jean had a reverse shoulder operation and not only was it a great success,but the information given and compassionate handling of the case was coupled with a very friendly manner.It was so refreshing to be treated in this way and we wish him the very best for the future.
thank you very much for the kind words....
Mr Talawadekar was my surgeon when I broke my shoulder.
From my first consultation he was friendly, informative, helpful, and put my mind at ease.
He always had plenty of time to explain what was going to happen in a friendly manner.
The operation went very well and the after care has been excellent.
I couldn’t recommend Mr Talawadekar enough. I hope I won’t have to be operated on by him again, but thanks Mr T for all your care.
PS He has a great sense of humour!

thank you very much....
I can’t say enough about mr Talawadakar he was absolutely wonderful. He explained everything about my op on my trigger thumb and put me at ease. When I was in theatre he was so relaxed and friendly he made me totally relaxed and I have got to say I have seen a few surgeons but mr T is the best by a mile and would see him every time. When I went for my check up he made me feel I was his only patient. Please furness general don’t let this brilliant surgeon slip through your fingers.
