Share review of Mr Zameer Shah
Mr Shah has been my Orthopaedic Consultant over the last few years I have found him to be an excellent surgeon and a very patient medical practitioner. He replaced my right hip after I fell in the street and was taken to St Thomas’. I recovered well and was back at work 2 weeks after the operation, a testimonial to the Mr Shah’s surgeons’ skills.
He then reviewed my progress over several years, I had broken the left hip about 7 years previously and it had been pinned. This worked well for a while but resulted in extensive arthritis in the hip, Mr Shah said a replacement was inevitable. But I wanted to continue as long as I could, and he supported me in that decision.
In the interim I broke my leg and damaged nerves to the foot, but I continued to attend clinic every year to check the condition of my hip and last year I decided along with Mr Shah that a hip replacement was now needed, due to pain and a reduction in my mobility.
Last July Mr Shah replaced my left hip at Guy’s, not as straightforward as my first replacement, really 3 operations in one. It has taken a little longer to gain mobility and I am still undertaking hydrotherapy and attend an Osteopath, but I have little or no pain and my movement is excellent with this support.
I would recommend Mr Shah and his team, excellent orthopaedic surgeons who really do care about getting the very best results their patients. This includes the follow up and aftercare.
