I had a full knee replacement on 11/03/24 at Cleveland Clinic under the excellent care of Sam Rajaratnam. the procedure went smoothly and i had no pain during or after recovery. Sam was honest & explained everything to me at our first consultation, & I immediately liked him & trusted him. Sam has performed over 7,000 knee replacement operations and he has pioneered many details and thereby changed a painful, difficult procedure into a tolerable, less painful one. Sam has a wonderful team working with him, including Barry (anaesthetist), Christine, (Nurse consultant) Vinny (practice manager) & others. I hope that i do not have to have a knee replacement on my right knee, but if i do i would not look at any other doctor or team other than Sam & his team.

Despite the fact that I was a very nervous patient, Sam listened to my concerns and presented all the available treatment options. He was attentive and carrying.

First met Sam last year on a firm recommendation from a colleague whom he’d operated on before. I was immediately put at ease by Sam, despite being nervous he was so reassuring & kind. In fact the whole team…. Barry the anaesthetist, Chris the lead nurse were all exemplary & I trusted them implicitly. Dealings with Sam’s PA’s Vinnie & Daisy was always surprisingly easy. I was so impressed that when I needed my second knee replaced this year, I didn’t bother to look elsewhere. I was more than willing to travel to London to have such great care.

I recently had a total left knee replacement done by Mr Rajarathnam, What i found was from my first contact he and his team where focus on my issue to get the information needed to give me the correct diagnostic of condition and what my options are , they pull records from NHS and other health professional prior to my first appointment , along with new MRI AND XRAY so that he was able to see me and give clear feedback immediately , this really impressed me and his clear explanation and his recommendation on what he could to do to help was amazing I proceed with surgery as planned and it all went exactly how he and his team had said, The pre op care assessment and build was spot on, while in hospital pre the op i had full debriefing and post the Op a total care package was working at full speed and strength to ensure my recovery was the best it can be, after care following on from the hospital stay has been absolutely brilliant everything has been covered Now i am 4 weeks post my Op and i honestly say i made the right choice with Mr Rajaratnam and his team , Thank you
