Mr Shibu Krishnan

Written by a patient at The Chiltern Hospital - part of Circle Health Group

Mr Shibu Krishnan has taken me on my journey through a total knee replacement. Having never had an operation in my life, I was very apprehensive. However I need not have worried from my very first meeting with Mr Krishnan I knew here was a professional whom I could communicate with and was able to ask the most ridiculous questions without fear of being dismissed as just 'a patient'. My journey did have a few ups and downs in preparation for the procedure, each step of which Mr Krishnan was easy to communicate with directly, had a very proactive approach and was a great help when dealing with other agencies. The operation itself was a well organised, a confidence building experience that has gone exactly to plan. The scaring is minimal and six weeks on I am so pleased that I listened to Mr Krishnan's advice and kind words. I have no hesitation in recommending Mr Krishnan a very caring, highly competent professional.

I had a severe heart problem needing investigation and treatment at approximately the same time as I had a very painful left knee which needed replacement thus making me practically housebound. It was essential for me to have my vascular problems brought to a satisfactory conclusion with medication before surgery on my knee could be considered. Throughout this time Mr.Shibu Krishnan kept fully in touch with me until eventually I was in the fortunate position of being able to be considered for surgery. Mr.Krishnan was at all times totally supportive, considerate and the utmost professional gentleman in his approach. The surgery has been a complete success and I give many thanks to him and his team for the care and attention I received before, during and after surgery. I have been given a new lease of life for which I am so grateful. Mr. Krishnan is a credit to his profession. Richard Bawden 27 April 2017

I was fortunately to be given the option of three Orthopaedic Surgeon and in my case needed to specialise in knee surgery. Mr Krishnan stood out for me initially, due to the extensive professional write up and feedback from patients he has helped, I can honestly say without a question of doubt if you are considering this type of surgery then choosing Mr Krishnan you will feel you are in the hands of competent professional and will put your anxiety at ease as he places the patient at the forefront of his thinking. Big thanks to Mr Krishnan and the support team. Mark Darvill 31st March 2017

I cannot thank Mr Krishnan and his team in High Wycombe and Amersham hospital enough for the care given to me on having my knee recently replaced. An extremely successful outcome, This was my third orthopaedic operation (other knee and a hip replacement) but my first operation with Mr Krishnan and his team. I can highly recommend Mr Krishnan who was very professional, approachable, interested and supportive of any questions and concerns I had pre and post op. Having orthopaedic surgery is very traumatic but knowing you are in the hands of competent professionals gives enormous comfort not only to the patient but their family.

When I first met Mr Shibu Krishnan I presented as a victim of childhood Polio, suffering from severe scoliosis ( curvature of the spine) ,muscle loss and weakness on my left hand side. A weak left leg has resulted in extreme loading on the right leg,ultimately leading to severe Valgus (deformed leg position) and bone on bone arthritis. Being unable to stand for more than a few minutes and walking even with aids extremely painful,the quality of life was deteriorating quickly. Mr Krishna contrary to the opinion of other surgeons said in his quiet an confident way that he could replace the knee joint ,thus reducing pain and possibly straighten the leg. He carefully explained the procedure along with all the attendant risks,as he spoke it was as though he was mentally proceeding through the operation,pausing when he came to an anticipated problem and the proceeding as a he thought of the solution. Mr Krishnan is obviously a confident and extremely confident surgeon who places patient care at the forefront of his thinking. The operation was successful and my recovery swift,on the day following surgery I was able to stand with my feet together for the first time in 56 years. Eight weeks after surgery I was able to enjoy a Christmas walk with my wife. A circuit of Black Park lake and coffee in the lakeside cafeteria.I was able to walk with confidence without pain. Mr Krishnan has restored a quality of life that I thought was lost forever with what can only be described as brilliant surgery. I will be forever in his dept. Alan Bayles
