The consultation went well, Mr Shah explained why I needed a full hip replacement and put me on the list. The wait was about 11 months before being admitted at Spire hospital Blackpool. All staff at Spire were fantastic, Mr Shah has a wonderfully team. Every point of the process was explained well and the procedure was a success. My follow up appointments were all good with short waits on the days. Mr Shah was very professional and accommodating at my discharge explaining and answering all my questions and concerns.

Cannot praise highly enough. Very professional and caring approach. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone with joint problems. I am recovering well thanks to his medical expertise and positive approach.

I would just like to say that I was in terrible pain the whole time with my hip problems. As soon as I had each hip replacement operation done the pain on that side disappeared immediately. A fantastic job well done. Thank you Mr Shah.

Mr Shah was completely professional yet has a friendly and kind manner. My 2 hip replacements performed by Mr Shah were done efficiently and without complications. I am very grateful for his skill which has given me virtually normal movement and the ability to function normally, with no pain for the first time in years. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mr Shah.

Profile

I have been working within orthopaedics since 1998.

I have 3 orthopaedic degrees from India, 3 more from the UK including the FRCS in trauma and orthopaedics and am on the GMC specialist register to practice as a consultant in trauma and orthopaedics.

My specialist interest is in hips and knees(hoping the name of the website was a giveaway)

I do believe it is necessary to restrict ones practice to one or two specialist areas and I think its difficult to deliver great outcomes unless the focus is narrow

I have been in the NorthWest since 2003 and have enjoyed learning from some superb surgeons in some well run hospitals

This includes working at Wrightington Hospital(which is one of the centres of excellence for orthopaedic work) as the John Charnley Fellow learning how to tackle complex hip and knee problems.

My focus is on delivering an ethical and sensible consult to start with. An ability to explain the pathology (in simple terms!) and then laying out the options available is vital to this.

Sometimes its about giving you time to make that call and in some cases its about having that additional information to get your head around the problem.

With hips and knees I deal with all pathologies related to and including sports injuries, having a painful or unstable joint due to early wear and tear to severe forms of arthritis. Your treatment may range from getting an understanding and then walking away, physiotherapy, injections to the joint or around it, key hole surgery, various forms of joint replacements (talk to me about options and materials).

On a personal front, I have a teenage son and a younger daughter(who still thinks i am great), love the following in no particular order: cricket(mainly watching occasionally doing), swimming(do this one), and an occasional dram of a good single malt(definitely do this one)
