Mr Muthu Ganapathi

Written by a private patient at Spire Murrayfield Hospital, Wirral

Mr. Ganapathi has, over a period of twelve years replaced both my hips and, most recently, my left knee as a result of severe osteoarthritis. All the operations have been entirely successful and as a result I am now able to walk well and continue to rebuild muscle bulk and strength, following recommendations from him and associated physiotherapists. Mr. Ganapathi has throughout kept me very well informed about the needs and risks of each operation, most particularly the recent knee replacement which used robotic guidance. This enabled him not only to replace the damaged joint but also to straighten my left leg, making walking easier and less stressful. His approach throughout has been friendly and professional, reducing stress and apprehension as to the outcome of the operations (there wasn't much), and emphasising the need for continued effort on my part to facilitate healing and correct function of the replaced joints; a process which is ongoing. He and his team have my deep gratitude for their skill, expertise and commitment to their very valuable work.

I have been very lucky to have been a patient of Mr Ganapathi and he was responsible for replacing 2 knees and 2 hips. I consider him to be an excellent surgeon and have great faith in him. He explained the whole procedure and put my mind at rest.

I am 69 and after two years wait on NHS Wales list with no likely date given I decided to seek private treatment. As well as limiting my physical activity my arthritic hip would keep me awake at night and the continued use of OTC painkillers gave me frequent stomach upset. Mr Ganapathi was recommended by two friends whom he had treated successfully some years back. My consultation was quickly arranged by the helpful Spire team. I was impressed by Mr Ganapathi's very thorough examination and his clear explanation of my proposed treatment was very reassuring. My surgery was at about 2 pm and I was sitting up in bed with my family by 6pm enjoying a light meal! I went home the next day, was walking straight away with crutches and was pain free within three weeks. The scar is minimal and healed quickly. Six weeks later I am now easily walking 3 - 4 miles daily without any walking aids. I continue to have physio sessions in Spire which really help realise the full benefit of the surgery. I am impressed with the communication whilst in hospital and since then from the whole team involved in my care. I am truly grateful to Mr Ganapathi for his expertise and professionalism and thoroughly recommend him.
